RC Maintenance Timer

Read full description

Know when your RC car is due for service, before a worn part ends your day early. Set a maintenance schedule once, add your runtime after each run, and the app shows what needs a check, a rebuild or a replacement next, with reminders so you never fall behind. HOW IT WORKS 1. Add your car. Your first car comes with ready-made maintenance tasks for common parts, such as bearings and tires & wheels. 2. Set when each task is due, in minutes of runtime: Check, Clean/Rebuild and Replace. Change the defaults or add your own tasks. 3. After each run, add how many minutes you drove. 4. The Home screen shows what is due next on each car and how many minutes are left. 5. Did the work? Tap Mark done to reset that counter. Tapped it by mistake? Double tap to undo. WHY IT HELPS - Fewer breakdowns. Regular checks catch worn parts before they fail. - Spend less on parts. A tired part replaced on time costs less than the damage it can do. - Stop guessing. Service intervals follow how much you actually run, not the calendar. - Keep every car ready. See at a glance which one needs work before you head out. FEATURES - Maintenance schedule based on real runtime - Three intervals per task: Check, Clean/Rebuild and Replace - Total runtime for every part and for the whole car - Reminders on the days and time you choose, so you never forget to add your runtime (sign-in required) - Add and edit your own tasks and intervals - Works for any RC car or truck, electric or nitro, on-road or off-road - Available in 13 languages - Dark mode SIMPLE PRICING Free with one car. A one-time $4.99 Lifetime Backer purchase unlocks unlimited cars. No subscription and no ads. To finish first, first you have to finish.

RC Maker Hub is the digital paddock for the RC Maker SP2 1/10 EP touring car. Build the kit, learn the adjustments, keep your setup sheets, and open the official manual — all in one place, on your iPhone. BUILD — BAGS A TO J Follow an interactive step-by-step guide through twelve chapters. Tick each action, resume where you left off, and filter steps for carbon, aluminium or steel chassis. Parts lists, notes, tips and exploded views sit next to every step. Watch the official build with Chris Mitchell, bag by bag. ADJUSTMENT Ride height, droop, camber, up-stop and more: the kit baselines explained one setting at a time, with the “which way” notes from the SP2 manual. Flex, rockers, ARB, steering lock, springs and FDR charts are included as in-app guides. SETUP SHEETS Create or import an SP2 sheet, save your race and practice setups, export PDF, and browse community sheets by surface, indoor/outdoor, grip and weather. An account is only required to save and publish — you can still fill a sheet and download the PDF as a guest. MANUAL Open the official SP2 PDF in the app and jump to the page you need. LANGUAGES English, French and German. RC Maker Hub is the companion app for the RC Maker SP2. The physical kit and printed documentation remain the reference for assembly.
