How does a radio-controlled car work?
In general there are gas powered vehicles and electric ones. Except for the miniaturization of things, they mostly work in the same fashion as normal sized vehicles although they usually don’t have a transmission / gear box or if they do (rare) it is only 2 or 3 gears or continuously variable. The main difference and what I’m fairly certain you’re curious about is the remote control aspect. This is almost always accomplished through the use of electronmagnetic waves transmitted from a: 1) “Transmitter”: in the form of a box with two or more joysticks and switches or a “gun grip” with a trigger and wheel. 2) To a “receiver”: small box that resides in the model which receives electromagnetic waves from the transmitter on certain frequency range. 3) Which controls “servo motors” (for physical movement such as turning the wheels or opening the carburetor) and/or “regulators” (for in/decreasing the flow of electricity to electric motors) Try some of these links on for size.
