New to RC Model Car Conversions? This Simple Project is a Great Way to Start 🔧

If you want to bring your 1/24 or 1/25 scale plastic model car to life, this project is a great way to get started. Utilizing one of our basic FP UC1 chassis kits, this Trans Am is both looking and driving great! As much as I enjoy the many projects on this channel that emphasize life-like scale realism, my goal for this video is to showcase a simple model car to RC conversion that would be well suited to newer hobbyists. Whether you're building a Trans Am just I've done here, or choose a different model kit, with a little custom work, you can have a great looking RC car that's lots of fun to drive! I've done my best to give a thorough overview of this project, and showcase all of the components used. Below you'll find either names/part numbers, or direct links to all the products used. If you have any questions, please feel free to leave a comment or send a message. 👍 Introduction: 00:00 Before We Begin: 01:40 The Chassis I’m Using: 03:03 Choosing the Wheels: 04:23 Choosing the Body: 06:07 Choosing the Transmitter Receiver and Battery: 11:47 Building the Car: 13:57 Test Drive: 22:21 Final Thoughts: 23:50 Chassis Assembly Tutorial:    • Building a RC 68 Corvette Race Car with th...   Chassis Kit: https://shop.makeitrc.com/products/fp...
