Ok two channels does not mean u can run two cars at once. the throttle is one channel, the steering is the other. So your not really changing the channel of the car. However, often people refer to the frequency your on (crystal frequency) as channel, so i can see how it could be confusing to a new commer. To run two cars at once you wouldnt have to change the crystal, jus the reciever. and when i say at once, i dont mean AT ONCE, rather, the same radio with different cars. The radio will control all cars on that frequency, so theoretically you could control 2 at once, but ... it wouldnt work out pretty. Changing the crystal allows u to run with other people. For instance if your buddy is on frequency 84, and your on frequency 70, then you can both run at once, without controlling each others cars. For racing, since 10 people run at the same time, you need to have several cyrstal choices so that you can chance to avoid frequency conflicts....which is the main reason u can change them.. If i need to clarify that, tell me, i know its kinda rambly...ask specific questions if possible of what you need cleared up, hope that helped some! and 24_bikes, running one tire with an insert, and one without, probably wouldnt work out to great, at least not if you were racing, if your just playing around, then you probably wont car all that much.
