How do you attach solar panels to a remote control car?


Question:
i want to make a couple of my remote controls car run on solar panels but have no idea on how to attach them or if its possible.
It's possible. Attach the output of the solar panels to the charging input of the rechargeable batteries (or battery pack). Allow the solar panels to be easily disconnected from the battery pack though, you may have problems when charging the batteries with the wall outlet adapter if the solar panels are in the circuit. The solar panels will provide a small trickle charge for the battery pack, may not make a huge difference in reality as remote/radio control cars burn up lots of energy in short amounts of time, while solar cells can convert only small amounts of energy from sunlight into useable electricity.
You would have to attach a very impressive array of panels to power even a small remote control car in the best of conditions.

The best you could hope for a a minute trickle charging of a battery pack in which case you would have to hook enough panels in parallel to get the right voltage and connect it in parallel with the battery, still a fairly large array of panels would be built.
gorilla glue expands when used, it is extremely strong, super glue, or use screws to and make a brace to hold it on the car
