Question

Auto repair car electrical?

Answer

There are disadvantages to toy R/C's as well. First is a lack of available repair parts. Toy R/C's are meant to be played with until they finally fail. Parts for such vehicles are not carried in the stores that sell them, unlike a hobby shop. Some basic parts may be available from the manufacturer - both Tyco R/C and New Bright have a basic parts list enclosed with their models - but they can be prohibitively expensive and parts may take several weeks to arrive from their Asian factories. Radio equipment, unlike hobby-grade, is non-standardized and non-repairable unless one has the necessary tools and equipment. Except for RadioShack's line of ZipZaps toy R/C cars and their XMODS line which falls between toy- and hobby grade, no aftermarket parts are available for toy R/C, although an enterprising modeler may be able to retrofit standard, discrete radio gear to a toy. Control response on some toy models comparable in size to hobby-grade vehicles is often slower than hobby-grade which actually makes those toys difficult to operate with smoothness and precision. An example is the aforementioned 1/4-scale Escalade and Humvee; they are promoted as having "semi-proportional" steering.
