RC Car Pit Stop Tips and Techniques

RC Car Pit Stop Tips and Techniques

rc pit area 190x190 RC Car Pit Stop Tips and TechniquesWhen you’re racing your RC car in professional heats, you will notice that the winner of the race and the runners up are usually separated by mere seconds. The reason is that successful racers have learned to make rc car pit stops quick and fast.

You can’t race your RC car without making an eventual pit stop, learning to do whatever quick maintenance you need to do in a hurry is the key. First of all figure out approximately when your pit stops will happen in the race. You know how much fuel your Nitro RC car holds and if you do a race pace and run your car to see how long your engine will run on that track on a tank of fuel.

If you calculate your fuel to only stop your car when it is running really low, you will have fewer pit stops and be able to stay in the race longer and maintain a good time and lead. Plan your stops about a minute before your fuel runs out.


Learn to fill your RC car quickly. Use the same motions to pick up your car, fill with fuel and put back in the pit box so you can get back on the track. If you race your RC car with a buddy, use the same methods every time to cut down on wasted time. With practice you can get your pit stops down to mere seconds.

You can save time by putting a tie strap on your fuel tank lid to make lifting it even faster at pit stops. This will enable you to get your RC car back on the track even faster.
