## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 







  
  
    THIS should have been titled the R/C Car Bible!
  

*by D***S on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on June 19, 2012*

This book is a *Must Have* for anyone that is looking to enter the R/C Car (vehicle) hobby!  Unlike a couple of other books that I have read and reviewed here (
  
RC Racing It's More Than Just A Hobby: Fulfill Your Need For Speed In The Thrilling Sport Of Remote Control Racing







  
  
    ,
  
The R/C Car Bible: How to build, tune and drive electric and nitro-powered radio control cars on and off-road







  
  
    ), this one definitely fits the bill as a guide for people new to the hobby.As the previous reviewer stated, it breaks everything down by subject matter.  It goes into detail about how both electric and nitro vehicles operate, what to look for in each when purchasing (especially for the first time), and how to maintain them.  The maintenance it covers is a general maintenance that is applicable to any R/C vehicle that you get since this book does not cover specific brands or models.It gives a bit of history about the hobby (sport), it goes into purchasing RTRs (Ready-To-Run) and Kits (must build yourself) and building a car from scratch, painting bodies, upgrading parts, maintenance (including the setting of camber, toe, etc.), driving and so on in easy to understand language.  (Please note that this is a product of the UK, so Queen's English spelling and grammar are used, as opposed to American English.  But that doesn't mean that it is any more difficult to read.)I highly recommend this book to anyone that is just starting in the R/C Hobby.  It will definitely save you some time, money and aggravation since you will come to know what to expect and how to deal with some of the intricacies of the hobby.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ 







  
  
    Great book for someone that is getting started
  

*by D***N on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on March 19, 2009*

I have been a fan of RC for a long time but am recently getting back into it hardcore, and this is an excellent reference tool for anyone from a pure novist to a intermediate level.  Some areas there is a level of assuemd knowledge but the book does a great job of really breaking things down to the simplest form.  Great history and documentation on the birth and development of the RC movement, tons of info on both electric and nitro vehicles and more than anything it is VERY current.  most of the book and manuals i have found are so dated that most of what is in them barely applies, this book has a ton of the newest vehicle and advances in technology covered... and covered well.I would recommend this book to anyone.

### ⭐⭐⭐ 







  
  
    Book has a lot of info for nitro cars, but feels outdated.
  

*by C***Y on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on October 18, 2018*

The product arrived on time, no problems with that.  But the book is outdated, or felt like it was and it spoke a lot of kids and follow directions, which is what it was suppossed to do I guess.  I was just looking for more of a "how to from ground up"  and I don't consider a kit to be from ground up, that's just an unassembled rc car.
