How Do You Hang An RC Car On The Wall?
RC cars can be controlled from a distance through radioactive waves sent by a remote. People often like miniature model car racing with actual difficult road conditions. To become the best racer of RC cars, people usually take serious care of their model cars rather than the originals. One of them is to hang while preserving them for the next match.
There are many hacks to hang the RC cars on the wall.

Step 1: Measure the Distance
The first step will be measuring the distance in-between four of the wheels of the car to get the perfect placement for the hooks on the wall. Place the car on the wall and mark under the springs attached to the wheels, or take a measuring tape to take the proper measurement and put the mark on the wall. Each hook can easily bear 2 pounds, so 4 hooks can easily hold an RC car on the wall.
Step 2: Make Holes in the Wall
Use a Drill machine to make small holes in the mark you have added on the wall. Ensure the holes are not more than ½ inch so they can easily fit a coat hanger. Choose a drill slightly smaller than the diameter of the coat hanger.
Step 3: Use a Wall Fastener to Secure
Choose a wall fastener one size more significant than the coat hook. Push it inside the hole and tap with a hammer to insert it.
Step 4: Hang the Coat Hanger
Now push the coat hanger inside the fastener to ensure it’s secure and push incorrectly. Do a similar process with the other 3 hooks and hang your RC car.

The nitro suspension needs to be at rest. If the break is tight for a long time, the spring will lose.
Nitro car needs some oil after every race. You need to add some mobility to the shock to keep your vehicle ready for the next race and to keep them healthy.
Lose the Slipper clutch. Any parts attach to the spring need to loosen up to keep the car healthy better; else, the spring will get loose if it stays tight for a long time and won’t react according to the radioactive signals.
Rebuild the shocks before every race. If your car has been stored for more than 6 months, check the shocks before using it again, or else it will worsen the car’s condition if you start it without changing the shocks. Try rebuilding the shock before every race.
How Do I Display My RC Truck?

Drill 2*4 size wood or plywood blocks for each car to stand with the wall, and you can place the remote of the car with the stand as well by adding a pin to the side of the wood block and hanging the remote with it. That way, you can find your car with the remote and make an excellent display of the vehicle.
