Heat engines
Thermal RC enthusiasts agree on this point: the thermal engine is the one that offers the best sensations. At RC Team, we offer you a range of efficient and reliable thermal engines that will meet your needs. Enough to give more power to your car or simply replace an aging mechanism.
A real engine
The thermal engine of a radio-controlled car is a real engine. This is what makes it so charming for enthusiasts. As in any engine, the heat energy that results from the combustion of gasoline and air is converted into mechanical energy. It is this mechanical energy that the crankshaft transforms into rotation. Passing through the gearbox and transmission , your car moves. Where an electric model, therefore silent, can recall a simple toy; a thermal engine offers an incomparable experience. Your radio-controlled car whirs. The thermal engine is therefore mainly aimed at enthusiasts and connoisseurs. Adjusting a heat engine requires some knowledge and its maintenance requires suitable equipment and some mechanical skills. And who says mechanics, says wear. A heat engine does not last forever. When it breaks or its performance softens, it's probably time to change it. This is why we offer you a complete range of reliable and efficient thermal engines. Enough to bring your car back to life.
The importance of break-in
When you install a new combustion engine in your RC car, it must be run-in . It is on this break-in that the proper functioning and longevity of your engine depends. To successfully complete this essential step, we advise you to proceed methodically. First, start with a static break-in. To do this, place your car on a support so that the wheels do not touch the ground. Now start the engine and run it. Continue the operation until you empty the equivalent of two full tanks of gasoline. Secondly, continue the break-in by rolling your vehicle. During this step, we advise you not to press the accelerator too much. Drive your car at a good speed but don't push it too far. Here too, continue to drive your car until you run out of two tanks of gas. An important clarification. For the break-in of your thermal engine , it is also essential that your engine is well enriched. This should result in significant smoke emission and even a little gasoline coming out of the exhaust pipe . We must therefore open the wealth screw .
Adjustments, repairs and maintenance
A heat engine requires some mechanical knowledge. It is essential for adjusting, repairing and maintaining the mechanics of your radio-controlled car. On our site, you will find all the parts (spark plugs, air filters, spare parts, etc.) or tools you will need to take care of your car. We also offer a full range of dedicated fuels . Because, each engine, depending on the specifics mentioned by the manufacturer, needs to be supplied with the appropriate gasoline.
