Drivers love it:

"It's super awesome, even beginners can understand what's going on." - Ralph M. ‍ "I’m currently about 10-15 places better than I expected, thanks to the app. I’m asking everything! It's a game-changer. I love to 'talk' with the app, like 'I need this and I’m thinking of that, would it help me?'" - Gerardo M

Your mechanic already knows the basics of 700+ RC cars, so you don't have to start from scratch.

Ask your AI Mechanic anything, such as: ‍

  • “How can I get more rear traction?”
  • “How can I increase corner-entry steering?”
  • “What is roll center, and how do I adjust it?”
  • “How does Ackermann angle impact steering?”
  • “Which is better: a brushed motor or brushless?”

Your mechanic is most familiar with: • 1/8, 1/10, and 1/12 scale cars and trucks • On-road, off-road, oval, drift, and drag racing

Your AI Mechanic can still recommend pinions, too!

Once you've entered your cars into the app, you can switch between them easily, and your mechanic will always remember where you were in your previous conversation. ‍ Please note: Every car and track is different! Your mechanic will provide setup adjustment and gear ideas, but you’ll still need to test and fine-tune based on your driving style and track conditions.

To do further tuning of gear ratios, FDR, and rollout, check out our free Gear Calculator Pro App.

To record your setups, tests, and races, check out our RC Setup App.
