Helpful Frequency Labeling

Wednesday August 13, 2008
It's frustrating to purchase a couple of RC toys for your kids only to discover that they can't play together because they both use the same frequency. I spotted helpful labeling on some Jada Toys Chub City RC cars earlier this week that addresses that problem.

A few of the toys had prominent stickers that read "This vehicle operates on 49 MHz. Can only race against 27 MHz vehicles." And the opposite labeling on some of the 27 MHz cars.

This is great for those unfamiliar with the operating frequencies of RC vehicles. Kudos to Jada Toys. More manufacturers should do it. It's a lot more helpful than all the marketing hype about the realistic detailing or the super speeds.
