As the RC car hobby continues to grow, so does the range of options for drivers. Gas-powered RC cars are becoming increasingly popular due to their more realistic engine sound and higher speeds than electric models. If you’ve recently purchased a gas-powered RC car, you may be wondering how to get it running. Here’s what you need to know about how to push start a gas RC car.
The first step is to make sure your gas-powered RC car is properly lubricated and ready for use. Check the owner’s manual for specific instructions on how to do this, or ask at your local hobby shop for help. It is important that the engine is properly lubricated before starting or else it could cause damage.
Once your gas-powered RC car is properly lubricated, you can begin the push start process.
First, make sure that the car is in neutral gear. Then, place the car on an even surface such as a driveway or sidewalk. Hold down the brakes and then give the vehicle a push forward – enough force so that it starts rolling but not too much as this could damage the vehicle.
Once it starts rolling, quickly release the brakes and turn on the ignition switch (if applicable). Once you hear it running, you can let go of the vehicle and allow it to coast until it comes to a stop. At this point, your gas-powered RC car should be running and ready for use!
Conclusion:
Pushing start a gas-powered RC car may seem intimidating at first but with proper preparation and following these steps, you should have no trouble getting your vehicle up and running in no time! Make sure your engine is well lubricated before you begin and remember to hold down the brakes while pushing forward – with just a few simple steps, you can have an exciting new ride!
