RC Pit Spec vs RC Pit Crew

Your whole RC pit, in one app. RC Pit Spec brings your setups, lap times, AI analysis, parts, and sharing together in one place — the pit box in your pocket. Whatever you do at the track, just open the app and it's all there. And the standout: your phone becomes a lap timer. No transponder, no timing loop. Point the camera for a single car — or print the app's paper markers to time several at once. Then let AI analyze your runs and tell you what to tune next. ■ Lap timing with your phone Point the camera at your finish line and it detects each pass automatically. Print ArUco markers from the app onto plain paper, stick them on, and time multiple cars at once, scored by number. Mount it on a tripod and run pack after pack with no re-setup. Everything runs on-device — works even with no signal at the track. ■ AI causal analysis Tap "analyze" and the AI compares this run to your last session at the same track: "Toe-in up front gave you better turn-in." Cause and effect, not guesswork. Apply a suggested change in one tap, then confirm on your next run whether it actually made you faster. ■ AI pit crew chat Chat directly with a virtual veteran RC mechanic. Ask follow-ups, dig deeper, and get real coaching that respects your chassis' specific constraints. ■ Run log Record date, track, surface, temperature, installed parts, and notes. See your progress in numbers and charts — the lap-trend graph drops as you get faster. ■ Garage Manage all your cars and settings in one place, with a fast, low-typing UI built for the pit lane. ■ Parts management Track your inventory, what's installed on which car, and maintenance reminders. ■ Pit Browse, compare, and import other drivers' setups. Learn from the fast guys and share your own. ■ PDF export (every chassis) Export a setup sheet as a PDF for any chassis. TT-02, MB-01, TRF421, TA08R and other main Tamiya chassis use an official-style sheet; the rest use an item-list sheet. Print it and keep it in your pit box. ■ Supported chassis 40+ chassis across touring, off-road, drift, and Mini-Z — including Tamiya, Kyosho, YOKOMO, XRAY, Team Associated, Mugen, Infinity, Schumacher, and more. New chassis added regularly. Not in the list? Add your machine under a name you choose. ■ Pricing Free to start.

Your RC car's acting up. This tells you why, fast. Pick what it's doing and get the likeliest cause first, ranked by how often it's the real culprit, with the exact checks to run. Built by a basher, for bashers. No login, no fluff, works fully offline at the track. What's inside: Symptom diagnoser: 18 common problems and 80+ ranked causes, from pulling to one side to cutting out at speed to no reverse. Pick your symptom, answer one follow-up, and get the fixes in order of likelihood. Gearing calculator: a live heat gauge that shows when a pinion swap is safe and when you're heading for meltdown. Watch top speed, RPM, and rollout move as you dial it in. Reverse gearing finder: tell it the top speed you want, it tells you the exact pinion to fit, and warns you if it'll run hot. Scale speed converter: turns your real mph into true scale speed, the number that makes non-RC people's jaws hit the floor. Every cause is grounded in real RC forum threads and years of wrenching, not guesswork. From the RC Pit Crew channel by Shalgum.
