2. Radio-controlled car - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Radio-controlled_car

   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).

3. Nitro engine - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nitro_engine

   Nitro engines for models can turn in excess of 50,000 RPM. Typical operating rpm for sport model aircraft engines is 10,000–14,000 RPM. For radio control (RC) boats and ducted fan aircraft engines, 20,000–25,000 is the usual range, and for cars RPM in the range of 25,000–37,000 is common. With this much movement, a lot of frictional heat ...

   1949 O Forty Five Power Pak (Special Racer Car Engine #PP-45 - manufactured 1949) This engine was the first designed by Cox but included some major parts (i.e. piston and cylinder) of the Spitzy .045 engine designed by Mel Anderson.

5. Model engine - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Model_engine

   The burning of the fuel/air mixture in a glow-plug model engine, which requires methanol for the glow plug to work in the first place, and sometimes with the use of nitromethane for greater power output and steadier idle, occurs due to the catalytic reaction of the methanol vapor to the presence of the platinum in the filament, thus causing the ...

6. Radio-controlled model - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Radio-controlled_model

   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.

7. Servo (radio control) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Servo_(radio_control)

   The fly-ball actuator was introduced to R/C modelling in 1951 by Brayton Paul, [5] and consisted of an electric motor and a centrifugal governor connected to a free-running axis that could, with the motor running, pull a rudder control rod by varying degrees. Used with a keyed radio system, this allowed some control over the rudder position by ...
