radio-controlled car (R/C car) -- categorized as either
"toy" or "hobby" grade, on-road and off-road.-- is a powered model car driven from a distance
using a radio control system. Inputs from joysticks (or a wheel and a trigger)
on a transmitter are sent to the car's onboard receiver. The receiver interprets
the radio signals and sends electrical pulses to the servo and electronic speed
controller, making the model turn its wheels and the motor run. Radio-controlled
cars can range from simple "stop and go" toys to competitive racing models,
which feature all the complexity and adjustability of their full-size
counterparts. Building, driving, and modifying radio-controlled car kits is a
popular hobby.
Electrically powered models ,
Nitro-powered models ,
Gas-powered models
Cars are powered by various sources. Electric cars are powered by small but
powerful electric motors and rechargeable nickel-cadmium, nickel metal hydride,
or lithium polymer cells.
fuel-powered models use glow plug engines, small internal combustion
engines fueled by a special mixture of nitromethane, methanol, and oil These are referred to as "nitro"
cars. Recently, exceptionally large models have been introduced that are powered
by small gasoline engines, similar to weedwhacker motors, which use a mix of oil
and gasoline.
