About ModelPress

What this site is

ModelPress is about radio-control cars — setup, tuning, batteries, motors, and choosing a kit.

Scale and class matter more than almost any other variable, so advice for a 1/10 buggy is wrong for a 1/8 truggy and the articles say which they mean. The recurring theme: most handling problems are setup rather than parts, and the expensive upgrade is usually not the fix.

How these articles are made

Articles here are written with AI assistance and researched from published sources, which are linked in the text so you can follow them. Nothing on this site is based on hands-on testing — where a figure or a finding appears, it belongs to the source cited next to it, and the writing says so rather than implying otherwise. Some articles contain affiliate links, marked at the top of the article; see the disclosure page.
