About Wiguan

I like love something that can fly since I was a kid. I cannot become a pilot because I am short sighted. :( But never mind, I'll become an RC flier then.
I like rc car too.

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year

Christmas is just tomorrow and 2012 is several days after that.

I would like to wish everyone a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year.

A Unique RC Helicopter: Helo TC iDevice Helicopter

I found this unique RC helicopter while surfing the YouTube. This RC helicopter is not controlled by the usual radio set but through an infra-red beam and operated through an i-device or should I say, iPhone, iPad and iPod touch.

Here are the video about it.

The RC helicopter is just cheap but not that low quality toy.

Happy Holiday & Merry Christmas – Finally I’m Back Here!

I’ve established this website since 2009 and I hardly update it.

I’m sorry for this, but I try to make frequent update from now since my desire on RC hobby is still burning!

So hopefully I’ll update.

p/s: I will of course!

What We Need To Build Our Own 2 Channel RC Car

It’s not that easy and it’s not that hard to build our own rc car.  Let alone it’s just a 2 channel RC car.  Regardless how many channel you want to implement, this is still the main things that you need to posses before starting to ensemble and build the rc car.

  1. Radio transmitter (TX) or simply called as “radio” or “tx”.
  2. Radio reciever (RX) or simply called as “reciever” or ‘rx”.
  3. Electric motor or also called “motor”.
  4. Servo
  5. Electronic Speed Control or people always called just ESC.
  6. Battery pack
  7. Chassis
  8. Gears
  9. Axles
  10. Rims
  11. Tyres
  12. Body

However, there’s additional thing that you need to posses as well.

  1. Battery charger
  2. Soldering kit
  3. Screw drivers
  4. Insulation tape
  5. Heat shrink tube
  6. Scissor
  7. Cutter

There will be article for each of these “ingredients”.

The link will turn into a link when the article is available.

Discovering Electronic Speed Control

It’s been a while since I look back on this hobby.

I’ve been very busy with study and work that I don’t even have enough time to sleep.  Thank God that at last I have some free time to relax and do something that I like.

So far, I only manage to have only the radio transmission and the radio receiver.  On the buying list next would be to get an electronic speed control (ESC).

I am still not sure how to choose or getting the right ESC.  But let’s find out later.

I will update soon about it when I have enough knowledge to determine the best type of ESC for this project.

Until next time. :-)
