You just unboxed your first RC touring car. Let's get you set up, oriented, and excited — no jargon, no guesswork.
Every great crew chief knows where every tool lives. Let's walk the pit lane together.
Welcome to RC Tuner — think of it as your personal crew chief that never sleeps. Everything in this app is organized into four color-coded zones, just like a real race shop:
🟢 Build — where you create and manage your car's setup. 🔵 Analyze — where physics shows you WHY your car behaves the way it does. 🟠 Race — track-day tools for when the tone sounds. 🟣 Learn — coaching, community, and this very course.
Tap each tile below to mark it explored. Don't worry about understanding everything yet — today is just about knowing where things live.
This course adapts to YOUR car. Tell us what's on your bench.
Every chassis is a little different — arm lengths, shock positions, factory settings. When the app knows your exact chassis, every recommendation, measurement guide, and 3D view is tailored to the car actually sitting on your bench.
Look at the box your car came in (or the chassis plate itself) and find the model name — something like "XRAY T4", "Tamiya TT-02", or "Awesomatix A800". Enter it below, then make it official in the Garage.
No wrong answers here. Even "I'm not sure yet" is fine — you can update this anytime.
You don't need a race trailer full of gear. Four essential tools get you 90% of the way.
Here's a secret the fast guys won't tell you: a small set of quality tools beats a giant set of cheap ones. RC touring cars use metric hex hardware almost exclusively, and precise setup needs precise measurement.
Check off what you already own. The ESSENTIAL items are the ones you truly need before Module 1 — everything else can come later as you level up.
There are a thousand YouTube videos about RC setup. Here's why this is different.
Most setup advice sounds like this: "just add a bit more camber, bro." But how much? Why? What will it actually do? You end up turning screws and hoping.
This course kills the guesswork with three ideas:
1️⃣ Learn by doing. Every lesson uses real app tools — you'll measure your actual car, build your actual setup, and see your actual numbers.
2️⃣ Understand by seeing. Instead of memorizing rules, you'll watch animated physics: see camber change as the suspension compresses, watch weight shift between tires in a corner.
3️⃣ Master by iterating. Change ONE thing → see the result → understand why. That feedback loop is how every pro learned, and the app makes it instant.
By Module 7, you won't just have a fast car — you'll know exactly why it's fast. Ready? Let's check what you've picked up so far.
