Definition: Toys or scale models operated by a wireless, hand-held controller that sends radio signals to the vehicle are radio control vehicles. A specific radio signal or frequency is sent from the controller to a receiver inside the vehicle to tell it to go, stop, turn, and do other maneuvers.
The abbreviation RC usually stands for radio control or radio controlled but may also refer to remote control vehicles that don't operate through radio signals including those with wires connecting the vehicle and controller and those that use infrared controls.
Also Known As: RC | radio controlled | remote control | remote controlled
Examples:
Radio control vehicles can be cars, trucks, airplanes, helicopters, boats, submarines, and other fanciful vehicles. Other toys that may operate by radio control include some robot toys and specialty toys such as radio control rodents, snakes, sharks, and UFOs.
