Remote control boats, airplanes, cars and trucks are some of the most popular items of interest for hobbyists. In this day and age, RC vehicles are more than just toys. They are actually collectible items and serious enthusiasts spend a significant amount of money buying and accessorizing such playthings. Over the years, hobby shops from all over the world have experienced a tremendous increase in sales as a result of the growing popularity of RC vehicles. If you are planning to join other hobbyists in this fun and exciting form of recreation, you first need to learn how to choose the right remote controlled vehicle for you. Here are some important tips.
First off, you need to know the size or scale of the remote control boats, airplanes, cars and trucks that you want to focus on. The scale actually represents the size or proportion of the RC vehicle in relation to real life boat, airplanes, cars, or trucks. For instance a 1:24 scale model of an RC fighter plane would mean that it is 24 times smaller than the actual plane that it represents. The size or scale of your RC vehicle is important because it can affect fuel consumption or battery life. The bigger scale models would naturally consume more fuel or have a shorter battery life than smaller ones.
Next, you need to determine the type of fuel or power source for your remote control boats, airplanes, cars and trucks. Many RC vehicles use ordinary AA batteries, but these models are usually the ones that are given to kids as toys. Meanwhile, enthusiasts or hobbyists typically go for models that run on rechargeable Ni-Cad batteries. This type of batteries can supply anywhere from 4.8 to 9.6 volts of electrical power. Still, there are RC vehicles that use petrol much like their real life counterparts. Make sure to check out the box or label to see what type of power source is needed for your RC vehicle.
Finally, remote control boats, airplanes, cars and trucks run on different types of engines. Much like the variable types of fuel or power source, there are also different types of propulsion for each RC model. There are RC vehicles that are powered by electrical engines, while there are those that use motors that consume petroleum-based fuel. But more and more hobbyists now choose remote control models that are powered by nitro engines. The type of engine that your RC model uses can directly affect its speed and overall power.

Help answer the question about remote control cars
Those remote control cars that used to be so popular, which are they?remember there was this kind of hype for those cars that you could build and take parts away and stuff and you could also race them. they would use real fuel and stuff like that. Does anyone remember them? they were quite a big hype, i loved the hummer, unfortunately they broke into my house and it was smashed….
if anyone can remember the name of those i'd greatly appreciate it because i really want to get one for the old memories sake.
thanx ^^

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
fuk ur mother cockass
i have one, you wanna buy it, i never used it. if not

and ebay.
Dont forget to buy fuel
You asked this question 3 times…are you controlled by a remote control?
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
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.
the bigger the mhz number the longer the battery lasts and the more power you will get
