FAQs about RC car accessories
How often do RC tyres need to be replaced?
The frequency of replacing RC tyres depends on the usage, terrain and driving style of your RC car. For regular use on various surfaces, tyres usually last 20-30 hours, depending on their build quality. If you notice significant wear, reduced traction or visible damage, it's time to replace your tyres.
At Frontline Hobbies, we stock a massive range of RC tyres perfect for all terrains. Whether you’re heading off road or drifting around the tarmac, shop our full range of RC car parts and keep your ride running smoothly.
What are the essential tools required for maintaining and repairing RC vehicles?
When it comes to maintaining your RC vehicles, there are several must-have tools that you need to have handy.
For maintenance and repairs, we recommend having screwdrivers (both Phillips and flathead), hex wrenches, pliers, hobby knives, shock pliers, turnbuckle wrenches and ball-end reamer on-hand. These tools help with tightening screws, adjusting suspension and replacing parts, so you won’t have to take your vehicle off the track while you hunt for the right tools.
How do I know which RC parts are compatible with my specific RC car?
To determine compatibility, check your RC car’s model number and specifications. Look for part numbers on the manufacturer's website or consult the vehicle's manual. Online RC forums can also offer valuable insights.
If you’re still unsure if your parts are compatible, get in touch with our RC experts online or at 1300 446 229. We’ll make sure you’ve got the right RC car accessories and parts for your ride!
What are the most common RC parts and accessories that need replacing?
The most common RC parts and accessories that need replacing are generally the most susceptible to wear and tear. Here are some components that need to be replaced the most frequently:
- RC Tyres — Due to their constant friction with various terrains, RC tyres wear down over time. Replacing worn-out tyres is essential for maintaining optimal traction and overall performance.
- RC Batteries — RC batteries have a limited lifespan and will gradually lose their charge-holding capacity with regular use. It's crucial to replace them when they no longer provide sufficient power.
- RC Shocks — Shocks play a vital role in absorbing impacts during jumps and rough terrains. Over time, the internal seals and oil may degrade, leading to reduced shock absorption. Replacing worn shocks ensures smoother rides and better stability.
- RC Bearings — Bearings facilitate smooth rotation of wheels and moving parts. Dust, dirt, and continual usage can wear down bearings, resulting in increased friction and reduced performance. Replacing bearings ensures improved efficiency.
- RC Gears — Gears in RC vehicles undergo constant stress during acceleration and deceleration. Over time, teeth can wear down or become damaged, leading to decreased power transmission. Regularly checking and replacing worn gears is crucial for optimal performance.
- RC Body Shells — Frequent collisions or rough driving can damage the body shell. Cracked or broken body shells not only affect aesthetics but also compromise the vehicle's aerodynamics. Replacing damaged body shells ensures a fresh appearance and maintains performance.

Should I clean my new RC body shell before clipping it onto my vehicle?
Yes, it's recommended to clean your new RC body shell before installing it on your vehicle. Removing any manufacturing residue or oils with mild soap and water ensures better adhesion when applying stickers or paint. It also ensures that no dust or dirt will get caught between the body shell and the motor of your vehicle.
Always make sure your new body shell is completely dry and dust-free before clipping it onto your vehicle.
How often should I inspect and replace worn-out RC parts to maintain optimal performance?
Regularly inspect your RC vehicle after each use. Pay attention to wear and tear on components like tyres, shocks, bearings, and gears. Depending on usage and driving conditions, parts may need replacement every few months or after noticeable wear.
Can I mix and match parts from different manufacturers?
Mixing and matching parts from different manufacturers can be possible, but it requires careful consideration. Always ensure parts have compatible sizes, fittings and specifications to avoid compatibility issues.
