## What is RC AI Mechanic?

Now, you've got an AI mechanic right there to answer your questions or bounce ideas off of, anytime, anywhere!

Drivers love it: 

"This app is amazing. 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

"I must say, I’m currently 25th, about 10-15 places better than I expected, thanks to the app. I’m asking everything!"

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 specializes in:

	•	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!

Simply enter some basic details about your car and track, and your mechanic will guide you with tailored advice. Your mechanic already knows the basics of hundreds of the most popular RC cars, so you don't have to start from scratch. 

Once you've entered your cars into the app, switch easily between them, and your mechanic will always remember where you were in your previous conversation.

Please note: Every car and track is different! Your mechanic will recommend setup adjustments and gears, but you’ll still need to test and fine-tune based on your driving style and track conditions.

To easily track your tests and race results (as every racer should!), try our RC Setup App (link below).

### 5/5 — Great app!

*2024-02-03*

Works very well for dirt oval. Very easy to use and no payments needed!

### 5/5 — It’s really helpful

*2023-12-29*

It’s really helpful

### 5/5 — How did I go without?

*2023-11-22*

This REALLY simplifies getting your RC gearing set up correctly, and I’ve never owned a chassis that isn’t supported.

### 5/5 — Great App for any R/C enthusiast

*2023-09-07*

This is a great app for anyone trying to figure out gearing, or at least where to start! I would like to see some other models added (Hyper VS2E) but if you know your models and what’s the same it doesn’t matter anyway.  What this app recommended is actually what I came up with as my best option from testing myself as well.

### 5/5 — Maths

*2023-05-27*

I set out to create an app similar to this for my rc car club. When searching to see if something like this existed, it does. And you are actually reading this. I’m actually typing this. But when you read this, time will have passed since I wrote it. So I’m not actually inside your phone holding up a message on poster board. But that would be really awesome. But as cool as all that, this app is better.

### 5/5 — Gear recommender

*2023-04-28*

Great tool for putting together professional racing cars

### 5/5 — Simply Amazing

*2023-01-25*

This is a must have application if you’re building and racing R/C vehicles! I used to constantly waste time trying to find the perfect spur/pinion ratio for the track. I’d find it eventually, but then the track would change or I’d race another brand or model car and be back to square one. With this app it can’t be simple. All you need to do is find your R/C car’s make/model, the motor you use or plan to use, then select all the track specifications and boom…your done. Who ever developed this app is awesome. Also the developer make’s a bunch of other must have mobile applications for R/C enthusiasts.
