Radio controlled cars come in two types, battery-powered, and engine-powered.
At Hobby Corner we stock a range of both. Some cars come pre-assembled,
just needing a final check over and a charge. Others need assembly with general
modelling skills being an advantage. To run a battery car you will need a radio
control unit - with batteries and frequency crystals, which allow numerous sets to be
 used at the same time, a power battery, (typically 7.2 volts) capable of being
fast-charged, a charger for the battery - either slow or fast-working off the mains,
 or off a 12 volt car-type battery, the car kit, and with some cars, the paint.
 A range of tune-up parts are available including tune-up motors,
high capacity batteries, electronic speed controllers and ball bearings.
 Run-time depends on use, but it is typically between 5 and 15 minutes,
 the run-time being shortened by the use of the faster motors.
