When starting a new hobby, it is certainly important for one to become familiar with the terms often used in that field. Of course, the world of remote control trucks is no exception; it also has a language of its own.
ARR/RTR – Some remote control trucks are almost completely assembled in the factory. ARR stands for Almost Ready-To-Run, while RTR is Ready-to-Run, usually identical to the former but with a radio system. ARR and RTR trucks cost a little more than unassembled models, but are practically ready to run right out of the box.
Chassis – This is the framework on which the components of a truck are mounted. It can be made of sturdy composites, aluminum, or graphite. The word chassis is also sometimes used to refer to an entire vehicle, excluding the body, wheels, and tires.
Electric starter – A hand-held electric motor used for starting a model engine, usually powered by a 12-volt battery. Electric starters are generally designed for airplane engines and require an adapter to work with truck engines.
Electronic Speed Control (ESC) – This replaces the mechanical speed control and servo usually found in “entry-level” electric remote control trucks. ESCs increase power efficiency and precision, while reducing a model’s weight for better performance.
Monster truck – Monster trucks are big and designed for torque instead of speed. They can move up hills, down slopes, and even over other cars.
Servo – The electromechanical device which moves the control surfaces or throttle of the truck according to commands from the receiver.
Stadium truck – Remote control stadium trucks, like their full-size counterparts, are built to take punishment. They are designed for all out racing, with heavy duty suspensions, oversized shocks and big tires that enable them to survive the roughest conditions.
Throttle – To increase or decrease acceleration, manipulate the throttle. It is the one that changes the voltage going to the truck’s motor or the fuel/air mix going to the engine.
Tie rods – Tie rods provide steering control by attaching the steering servo to the front wheels. They “tie” these two parts together.

fuk ur mother cockass
1/10 scale is the most common electric if you go up from there you are talking about gas. 1/18 & 1/16 scale just come out and they are catching on big. But most will say a MPH rating and at best they might do half that. With electric r/c's the faster the car goes the less run time you will have on your battery, but just go to your local hobby shop and ask questions
you use rc fuel.. its sold at any hobby store. its about $15-20 a gallon, but the car uses so little that they only sell it by ounces.
the distance it can be controlled from has to do with the power of the transmitter and receiver in the car and controller. You can buy controllers that will work well over 1/2 mile. being $180, its on the lower end, so i would say about 1/8th of a mile.
i dont have one, but my neighbor has one that will hit 75mph, but you need a license for it… thats all i know.. i dont know who authorizes the license, but i know its by how fast it goes.
There are only a small set of "public" frequencies that can be used for all wireless devices including remote control vehicles, telephones, wireless networks, and other equipment. These public domain frequencies must all coexist in the same environments, so you will generally find that one device uses one set of frequencies while other devices uses a slightly different set.
It is quite common to see some completely different devices using the same frequencies because the manfucaturer didn't really have much of a choice. This directly limits the frequencies that any particular product can use.
You might look for some wireless devices that use similiar frequencies but have different channels. I doubt you'll find remote control vehicles that use different channels, but you might. They'd probably cost more though because they'd need more electronics inside to let you select which channel each one was on.
i have one, you wanna buy it, i never used it. if not

You asked this question 3 times…are you controlled by a remote control?
the bigger the mhz number the longer the battery lasts and the more power you will get
in the UK motorized RC vehicles [battery] are allowed
to be used with caution and not on the road
but nitro fueled RC vehicles can be used without a permit
but only on private grounds/property and with owner of the land permission ,which is fair enough because some nitro fuelled RC vehicles go extremely fast,and would cause a nasty injury if it hit somebodys foot/leg on the main street,if that helps at all?
ps:and of course there is the high level of
noise pollution to be taken into
consideration too,so all in all !
and i have never been to sunny california in my life,i will stick my neck out and say no you cannot use a gas/nitro rc vehicle on pavements and streets purely because it
makes sense not to
