Default RE: Drifting cars

ORIGINAL: JConno85

Thanks guys!! Gave some good advice! Ive been searching around and I think I have made choice with getting the TT-01D kit. That way I can enjoy building it and learn the basics of how the chassis set up is for future references. I have also lined up a bunch of hop ups for when Im ready for them. This car will be for drifting obviously so I wont have to be racing it.

The only thing Im confused on. What are these and how they work? I just dont want to miss anything when it comes to taking the car out and finding out it would even move.

Receiver -
Servo -
Servo horn -
ESC -
receiver - one half of the 'radio' in 'radio control' ... the other half is the transmitter which you hold in your hand
servo - plugs into the receiver, has a part that rotates when you move something on your transmitter,in an electric car its used for steering , look at a rc car and you'll see
servo horn - a long object that attaches to the servo , when the servo turns it pushes something like a lever, again look at an rc car
esc - [link=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electronic_speed_controller]electronic speed controller[/link]
