RC / FIELD NOTES 2026-11-04
Two checklists for your first setup
RCCritic is research-led: we use maker data and published sources. We have not done hands-on tests yet.
What is in the printable pack?
The LiPo sheet covers inspection, balance charging, storage and stop conditions. The first-car sheet covers the full shopping list and first-run steps. Each is one US Letter page with dated source links.
Use these as reminders alongside the exact maker instructions.

Use the exact model code when checking a maker page. The read date is a record of our research, not a promise that a listing stays unchanged.
