How to Drill Holes in RC Car Body

Before you start drilling, it’s important to take some safety precautions.

Wear safety glasses and a dust mask to protect yourself from flying debris.
Clamp the RC car body securely in place so that it doesn’t move while you’re drilling.
Use a sharp drill bit and drill slowly to avoid tearing the RC car body.

The first step is to mark the holes you want to drill. You can use a pencil or a marker to do this.

If you’re drilling holes for body posts, make sure to measure the distance between the posts and mark the holes accordingly.

Once you’ve marked the holes, you need to center punch them.

To do this, hold the center punch over the hole and tap it with a hammer.

Center punching the holes will help to prevent the drill bit from wandering when you start drilling.

Now it’s time to drill the holes.

Use a sharp drill bit and drill slowly.

If you’re drilling through a thick piece of plastic, you may need to use a pilot hole first.

Once you’ve drilled the holes, you need to deburr them.

To do this, use a file or a deburring tool to remove any sharp edges from the holes.

Deburring the holes will help to prevent the RC car body from getting scratched.

Use a backing block when you’re drilling to prevent the RC car body from flexing.
Start with a small drill bit and gradually increase the size of the bit until you reach the desired size.
If you’re drilling through a curved surface, use a step drill bit.
Be patient and take your time. Drilling holes in RC car body can be tricky, but it’s definitely possible with a little practice.
