Definition: RC vehicles communicate through radio signals. The receiver, abbreviated as RX, is a small unit inside the RC vehicle that receives the signal from the transmitter. It translates the radio signals which tell the RC vehicle what to do such as what direction and speed to move. The transmitter and the receiver must operate on the same frequency. For a more detailed description for RX, see Receiver.
