The main tests for the drivetrain of the RC car are determining how well it drives. The speed can be tested for accuracy compared to calculations. This can be tested on smooth and off-road surfaces.

           The actual speed can be calculated by recording distance and time of the car once it has got up to a constant speed. For this test a stopwatch and tape measure are needed. Once this speed is calculated, acceleration can also be found by recording how long it takes for the device to get to top speed.
