Things You Probably Dont Know About RCs

RC Vehicles have for a longtime continued to catch the interests of kids and enthusiasts across the world.They have continued to be an fun and appealing car toy for many.Despite all the technological advances of the past few decades with i-phones and hoverboards,we still watch,play and marvel their fast moving,stylish models and replicas and witness their great feats across grass, rough terrains,water,the skies and right in our houses.Though,there are some very interesting facts about them that we might not know that make them even more impressive than we know already.

These are 5 interesting facts and great stunts that have been done with then that you might not know about rc vehicles.

1.RC vehicles actually existed before the 20th Century.

People probably usually think of RC vehicles as a modern phenomenon but the first remote control models existed back in 1898. The highly acclaimed inventor,Nikola Tesla had developed and demonstrated radio control technology which was able to power and direct early rc model boats and airplanes. RC Technology was introduced to cars in the 1960s when they solved the problem of making radio signals able to make a car go in all four directions.Nothing is new under the sun.

2.Highest Jump of an RC:121 feet

The longest ramp jump made by an RC Car was a whopping 121 feet by the Carlson Spectre RC Car. This height is as a high the Chicago Water Tower which almost comes up height of the tall skyscrapers surrounding it. Even half of that height would would be amazing.

3.Drones that can deliver Champagne.

RC Drones are now being used in restaurants to carry champagne to bar patrons. The California hotel,Hotel Madrona,currently uses them to fly their very expensive luxury champagne to their guests. They minimum order to use the drone is $20,000. Yes Very expensive!

4. Its Amazing 2.4 Ghz Technology

One very interesting fact is the technology itself. The 2.4 Ghz standard frequency send a radio wave signal to inform the engine for nitro vehicles and motors for electric to go in your intended direction. All this happens in real-time.

5. Amazing Strength Acheivements

Lastly,the last great fact about RCs is the achievements of great strength witnessed with some of them.One is the Great T-Rex.The T-Rex 600 RC Helicopter carried 210 kilograms or actually 462 pounds in water using 2 helicopters while carrying two men in their huge hovercraft boat at top speed. They two helicopters combined wouldn't even equal half that weight. If you think that's amazing,you'd also be midblown by the Tiger 2 Tank. The tank pulled a Honda Accord sized car using a piece of thin strap rope.Even if you were to say its a smaller sized car,the lightest commercial cars are thousands of pounds. Like a science teacher of mine in high school used to say,Simply Amazing!

These are some of the most interesting facts and feats about about rc vehicles.Hope you enjoyed it and it helps you to realize that they are still amazing and most likely here to stay.
