How Do I Fix My RC Car Wheel?

Having trouble getting your RC car wheel to move? Don’t worry, it’s a common problem.

Fortunately, there are a few simple steps you can take to get your car rolling again.

The first step is to check the battery. If your RC car has been sitting for a while, the battery may be drained or dead and will need to be replaced.

If the battery is good, then it’s time to look at the wheels themselves.

Check for Debris: The wheels might be clogged with dirt and debris, preventing them from spinning freely. Use a soft brush or cloth to clean any dirt or debris off the wheels.

Inspect the Axles: If the wheels are still not spinning freely even after cleaning them, you’ll want to take a closer look at the axles and make sure they are not bent or damaged in any way. If they are, you’ll need to replace them.

Lubricate the Wheels: Another possible cause of wheel problems is dry and sticky bearings in the wheels themselves. To fix this problem, simply apply a light layer of lubricant such as WD-40 or silicone spray on each wheel bearing.

Conclusion: Fixing an RC car wheel doesn’t have to be complicated – just check for debris, inspect the axles for damage and lubricate the wheels if necessary. With these easy steps you should have your car running smoothly again in no time!
