RADIO CONTROLLED VEHICLE

The RADIO CONTROLLED VEHICLE (RCV) is a motorised vehicle, controlled and steered by remote control. There is a receiver PCB (Printed Circuit Board) mounted on the vehicle and a transmitter PCB in a hand held control box.

This remote control unit controls the vehicle’s forward and reverse motion, as well as the steering.

The vehicle is driven by a gearbox/motor assembly, and steered by an electric motor through a steering rod and a steering link.

The radio transmission distance is approximately 25 metres, and under favourable conditions can be greater.

The RCV is controlled by a switchable 2 band Radio Control Unit (RCU). This allows 2 cars to run at the same time.  The RCV has forward and reverse motion, can be steered either left or right, and has a „Turbo” button (to increase the speed).  It is driven through a multi-ratio gearbox – the student has to calculate the ratio and assemble the gearbox & motor. RCV includes the Radio Control PCBs and control unit and is available in 2 variants.

Specify which version is required – Assembled or Un-assembled PCBs.

NOTE: If buying a class set of RCVs/RCUs, we recommend buying one set with assembled PCBs, for visual comparison and testing of PCBs if required. (The RCV kit includes the RCU).
