Understand the language before you buy the parts.
- 1/28
- A common shorthand for this racing size. Exact body scales and chassis dimensions vary; it is not a universal parts standard.
- RWD / AWD / FWD
- Rear-, all- or front-wheel drive: which wheels receive motor power.
- RTR / Readyset
- An assembled package. Check the specific listing for transmitter, batteries and charger requirements.
- RCP
- A modular foam track system widely used for miniature RC. Not every event uses the same layout or preparation.
- Wheelbase
- The distance between front and rear axle centres. It must match the intended body and chassis configuration.
- Offset
- The wheel’s lateral positioning relative to its mounting face; it changes track width and body clearance.
- MM / RM / LM
- Kyosho motor-mount configuration labels. Confirm the exact chassis, motor position and body compatibility.
- T-plate
- A flexible plate connecting the rear pod to the chassis on many RWD designs.
- Differential
- A mechanism allowing the driven wheels to rotate at different speeds in a corner.
- Camber / toe
- Camber is wheel tilt viewed from the front; toe describes wheel direction viewed from above.
- Shore hardness
- A material hardness measurement. Tyre labels are not a reliable cross-brand grip comparison.
- KV
- A brushless motor’s approximate unloaded revolutions per minute per volt. Gearing and voltage also affect speed.
- ESC
- Electronic speed controller: controls motor power and may provide braking and programmable settings.
- NiMH / LiPo
- Different rechargeable battery chemistries requiring compatible charging and electronics.
- Understeer / oversteer
- The car turns less than intended / the rear rotates more than intended. Diagnose driving and tyres before changing parts.
- A-main / B-main
- Separate final groups, normally formed from qualifying. Winning a lower final is distinct from an overall class victory.
- Transponder
- A device used by a compatible lap-timing system to identify the car as it crosses the detection point.
- Scrutineering
- Checks that the car meets the event’s technical regulations.
No matches. Try tyres, battery or setup.
