The Radio Shack / Radio Control Home Page

This is my son's modified Lotus Elise.

This Web page is dedicated to everyone who has purchased or received a Radio Shack R/C truck and asked themselves "How can I make it better?" I have included a description of all the upgrades I have made to the stock Radio Shack R/C dual-motor 4WD F-150 truck. The first section deals with how you can make the truck lighter, faster, and better-handling. The second section deals with converting the truck into a light, fast, on-road race car for less than $100. I have also added a description of an inexpensive lap timer that you can build. Enjoy!

Here are some of the cars that I have built.
