Model scale

The scale allows you to estimate the overall dimensions of the model — it describes the ratio of its dimensions to the dimensions of a full-size machine of a similar type (see below). For example, the length and width of a full-sized buggy average about 4 m and 2 m, respectively; this means that for a radio-controlled model on a scale of 1:10, these parameters will be 10 times smaller — about 40 cm and 20 cm (plus or minus).

Miniature scales are considered to be 1:24 or less ( 1:28 and 1:32), while in the largest scales it reaches 1:6( 1:5) — such models are not much smaller than children's cars (however, they are not intended to replace them). A small size is considered optimal for use in residential areas, a large one — in open areas. Most road models (see 'Type') are available in 1:10 scale, SUVs in 1:8, and larger scales are found in advanced internal combustion engine models (see 'Engine'). The most common scale options are 1:14, 1:16 and 1:18, which are found in both the low-cost and high-end segments.

Battery voltage

The operating voltage of the battery supplied with the machine. For models for AA and AAA cells (see “Battery Type”), it is not indicated — the specification of these cells assumes a common voltage standard, about 1.5 V. In other cases, battery voltage data does not play a significant role in everyday use, but may be useful , if you need to pick up a charger, a spare battery or a battery to replace a damaged one, but you do not have data on the battery model (see below).

USB charging

The ability to charge the battery of the machine from a standard USB port.

This feature provides very extensive features for finding energy sources: USB ports are available not only in all computers and laptops, but also in various other equipment — TVs, car radios, etc. In addition, USB adapters are available for household sockets and car cigarette lighters. And in the absence of outlets nearby, the energy supply can be replenished from a standalone device — for example, from the same laptop or power bank. The disadvantage of this charging method is the relatively low power and poor suitability for high-capacity batteries, which is why it is found mainly in small entertainment machines.

Power source

The type and number of batteries required for the operation of the model control panel.

— AA. Replaceable cells, known in everyday life as "finger-type batteries". They can be produced not only in the form of disposable batteries, but also in the form of rechargeable batteries. In both cases, they are available in a wide range of items that differ in price and quality, which gives freedom of choice; batteries are sold almost everywhere and are inexpensive. The power and capacity of AA elements are relatively small, but in most cases they are quite enough for normal operation of the transmitter for quite a long time. Usually, modern remotes require several of these batteries — usually 2, 4 or 6.

— AAA. Replaceable cells, known as "mini finger" or "little" batteries. From the AA batteries described above, they differ only in their smaller size and, accordingly, in their capacity; the rest are completely similar. They are mainly used in remotes for inexpensive entertainment models: such remotes do not require a lot of energy, but compactness is sometimes crucial.

— PP3. Replaceable batteries of a characteristic rectangular shape, with a pair of contacts on one of the ends. They have a nominal voltage of 9 V. Such elements are quite popular in "entertainment" models designed for children — not least because only one battery is enough for the remote control.

— Accumulator. In this case, a specialized battery is meant, either of an original d...esign, or in a size that is not related to replaceable elements. These power supplies can be far superior to battery packs in terms of power and capacity, but they are not cheap, and such advanced features are rarely needed in fact. Therefore, battery remotes are found mainly among large-scale professional-level models, with increased requirements for the range and reliability of the transmitter on the remote control.

Material

The material from which the body of the machine is made. The body in this case means the upper part of the model, mounted on the deck of the chassis and giving it a resemblance to a real car by imitating the shape and coloring of the body.

One of the most popular body materials is plastic. It is inexpensive, easy to process, can be produced in any shape and colour, and applying even a complex pattern to plastic is not a problem. At the same time, the strength of this material is sometimes insufficient for models designed for difficult driving conditions. Therefore, plastic can be supplemented with metal elements — usually made of aluminium alloy, which combines good strength and low weight. However these machines are more expensive.
