1:10 scale radio-controlled car (Saab Sonett II)A radio-controlled model (or RC model) is a model that is steerable with the use of radio control (RC). All types of model vehicles have had RC systems installed in them, including ground vehicles, boats, planes, helicopters and even submarines and scale railway locomotives.
Engine House No. 6. The station is one of about twelve built or reconstructed in the city in the 1880s to 1890s. Of these, seven remain, though in various conditions. The other remaining stations in Columbus are: [8] Engine House No. 5, built in 1894, at 121 Thurman Avenue; Engine House No. 6, built in 1892, at 540 W. Broad Street
The Horizon Hobby logo. Horizon Hobby, LLC is an American multinational hobby-grade RC radio control (RC) model, model train manufacturer, and distributor.It was founded by Rick Stephens, Janet Ottmers, Debra Love, and Eric Meyers, [1] in July 1985, [2] and headquartered in Champaign, Illinois. [3]
Radio-controlled cars, or RC cars for short, [1] are miniature vehicles (cars, vans, buses, buggies, etc.) controlled via radio.. Nitro powered models use glow plug engines, small internal combustion engines fuelled by a special mixture of nitromethane, methanol, and oil (in most cases a blend of castor oil and synthetic oil).
Brushless motors, and 6 V [20] nickel–cadmium and the lithium iron phosphate (LiFePO4) of the early 1980s up until the early 2000s being replaced by nickel–metal hydride (NiMH) [80] and then the 2 Cell (7.4 volt) lipo batteries, the latter became the norm for racing [81] helped to bring the class back to prominence in addition to new car ...
Nitro- and gasoline-powered tether cars with .60 cubic inch miniature engines capable of speeds of 100 mph (160 km/h) were quickly becoming popular. Cox's first contribution to that growing hobby was a cast aluminum midget racer powered by a .09 and .15 engine by Cameron Brothers of Chino, California.
It takes place biennially on odd years since 1987 in its current format but inaugurated in 1985 as a championship for Stock (stock handout motor) and Modified class (modified motors and seven cells) [1] It is considered by the radio-controlled modelling industry to be the most prestigious event in the calendar that a number of mainstream hobby ...
Flying RC aircraft as a hobby grew substantially from the 2000s with improvements in the cost, weight, performance, and capabilities of motors, batteries and electronics. Scientific, government, and military organizations are also using RC aircraft for experiments, gathering weather readings, aerodynamic modeling, and testing. A wide variety of ...
