A digital garage for your RC models and parts
Centralized tracking of models, their condition, and storage. Part and upgrade compatibility based on real community experience. Supports both ready-made kit models and fully custom builds.
We are a non-commercial, community-driven initiative by RC hobbyists. Some sections may be temporarily unavailable or marked as “under development”. We are gradually adding features, with a strong focus on data quality and ease of management.
What you get with the platform
We centralize and store all information about your RC models - condition, storage, and compatibility - in a clear, structured system. All data is tied to specific models and confirmed by the community.
Personal Garage
Model cards, condition, configuration, photos, notes, storage location, and change history.
Parts compatibility
Crowdsourcing through ratings, comments, and confirmations, with a compatibility trust score built over time.
Upgrades & configuration
Upgrade planning (in development): task and parts lists, recommendations, and a results log.
How it works
It’s simple: add a model (kit or custom), keep track of its condition, and manage maintenance and upgrades over time.
Add your model
Choose a kit model from the catalog or create a custom build from scratch.
Track the model’s condition and storage location
Ready / Needs service / In progress - along with a specific storage location such as a shelf, box, or case.
Get compatibility information
See what’s confirmed by the community and what still needs verification or clarification.
Plan upgrades and maintenance
Task and parts lists, notes, and results - with some features still under development.
Why “kit vs custom” matters
In real RC hobby use, most models eventually stop being “stock.” That’s why the system supports:
Ready-made kit models
Quick start from the catalog: a base configuration, common upgrades, and out-of-the-box compatibility.
Custom builds
Full control: chassis, electronics, drivetrain, wheels, and settings - just like in your real build.
Principle: “data must reflect reality” - otherwise compatibility doesn’t work.
Frequently asked questions
Answers to common questions about the project status, data, and how compatibility works.
Is this a commercial project?
No. This is a non-commercial, community-driven initiative by RC hobbyists. The project is built as a tool for managing collections, builds, and part compatibility - not as a service for selling access or data.
Is monetization planned in the future?
We don’t rule this out in the long term, but monetization is not the goal of the project. Any financial models would only be considered if they support the sustainable development of the platform and do not undermine it.
What about data privacy?
Your personal garage and your data are private by default. Only the contributions and data you choose to share are visible to the community.
Why are some features unavailable?
The project is still in development, so features are rolled out step by step - core first, then service tools, configurator, and trust ratings. Some sections may be marked as “under development.
What’s the difference between a kit model and a custom build?
A kit model has a predefined base configuration from the catalog. A custom build reflects your actual setup, where components may differ significantly from the stock configuration. For accurate compatibility, it’s important to reflect real-world setups.
How do you deal with inaccurate compatibility data?
Through confirmation and context: comments, usage conditions, model versions, and repeatable results. Next, a trust rating system (in development) will help filter out weak or unreliable claims.
Start with one model - build a system.
Add your first model to the garage (kit or custom), track its condition and storage location. Next come compatibility and service/upgrade tools - some features are still under development.
