Book excerpt: Learning about basic electronics and creating your own projects is a lot easier than you may think with the help of modern solfware such as TinkerCAD. TinkerCAD allows you to quickly build circuits using ready-made components. You can test the effect of your circuit using simulation. This capability allows you to install and adjust the electronic components bit by bit and test things out. It is this process that helps you learn electronics quickly. This book is all about Toy Grade RC car restoration and conversion to "real RC". Remember the 80s where we had Taiyo, Nikko and Bandai producing RC buggies giving us endless hours of fun and enjoyment? After 30+ years these RC cars are seriously aged. For them to run again a lot of things have to be fixed. And the electronics are likely dead already so you may as well turn them into real RC by using real RC car electronics on them. We show you how these can be accomplished using real life examples. In this book, several Taiyo (aka Tyco) cars including the 1:12 Jet Fighter and JetHopper are converted to "real RC" step by step.
