Now I am about to describe an online controlled robot I am currently doing. I started with a plastic hobby box available from Radio Shack. I then mounted four geared DC motors on the bottom and installed the off road wheels. I love these geared DC sites. I got them from Tamiya Canada. Tamiya USA has a lot of really neat parts develop a robot. All you need to do is Google robot parts and you can also find a lot of links to websites selling just what you deserve. If you are inexepensively you can use the motors and wheels from a kids used remote controlled car. I've picked up broken remote control toys from second hand stores and hacked the actual motors and wheels.

While beginners should start with basic kits, there's no harm in exploring accessories once you're used towards your slot car already. Read about the advantages of countless types of slot car tires and wheel bearings online. Why not consider the engine and the gears? Will gear changes allow one to perform better on running track? You can schedule your "expansion" purchases an individual won't feel so guilty about experimenting on add-on's. If you do have the amount to buy new controllers, better power packs, new accessories for one's tracks like model buildings and figures, why not?

With the development nitro cars have become the ultimate "toys for big boys". It isn't just the battery-powered toy-grade tamiya model kits you'll be able to grab from your local toy stores
