Radio Control Car Magazines
What is a Radio Controlled RC Pan Car?
I saw the term in RC Driver Magazine regarding an F1 style RC car.
What does “Pan Car” mean?
Thanks!
Adding on what “mike1942f” wrote:
Could it be that a “Pan Car” is one that the whole rear axle is hinged and being supported by a single spring (or shock)?

I didn’t understand from what you wrote how to tell a Pan Car from something else.
Thanks!
A Pan Car is a 2WD R/C Vehicle that only has one shock in the rear for leaning into the curves. A Pan Car compared to a Formula One vehicle will only have one similarity. They both are 2WD. They both also have several differences:
- Formula 1 vehicles are longer in length while it’s shorter in width.
- Pan Cars are shorter in length while it’s slightly longer in width.
- Formula 1 vehicles can have one to four shocks in a side-to-side position.
- Pan Cars only have one shock supporting the rear.
- Formula 1 vehicles are usually used for experiencing realistic driving or seen drag racing.
- Pan Cars can be used in regular on-road racing and other types of racing like drag racing.
- Pan Cars are normally lighter than Formula 1 vehicles.
- Pan Cars can run on a 4-cell Ni-Mh/Ni-Cd or a 1-Cell Li-Po.
- Formula 1 vehicles can probably run a 5-cell Ni-Mh/Ni-Cd or 1-Cell Li-PO.
