Radio Control
There are thousands of Radio Control vehicles available. Most are toys suitable for children. Time Machine Hobby carries only hobby grade radio control. What separates toy grade R/C from hobby grade R/C is the characteristic of the standard equipment. R/C toys generally have simplified circuits, often breaking easily. Hobby grade R/C are made very durable, with complex electronics, a lot like a real car or truck. Hobby grade models can also be fine tuned, unlike most toy grade models.
Radio Controlled Aircraft
Radio controlled aircraft are small aircraft that can be controlled remotely. There are many different types, ranging from small park flyers to large jets and mid-sized aerobatic models. The aircraft use many different methods of propulsion, ranging from brushed or brushless electric motors, to internal combustion engines, to the most expensive gas turbines. The fastest aircraft, with gas turbines, can reach speeds of up to 250 mph.
Radio Controlled Cars and Trucks
A radio controlled car is a powered model car driven from a distance. Both gas and electric cars exist, designed to be run both on and off-road. The "gas" cars, unlike their name, do not use gasoline to run. Instead, they rely on nitromethanol to get their power. Building, driving, and modifying radio-controlled car kits is a hobby enjoyed by enthusiasts of all ages.
Radio Controlled Helicopters
Radio controlled helicopters, although often grouped with R/C aircraft, are unique because of the differences in construction, aerodynamics and flight training. Several designs of R/C helicopters exist, some with limited maneuverability (thus easier to learn to fly), and those with more maneuverability (and harder to learn to fly).
