Remote Control aircraft are small aircraft that can be controlled remotely. There are many different types, ranging from small park flyers to large jets and mid-sized aerobatic models. The aircraft use many different methods of propulsion, ranging from brushed or brushless with gas turbines, can reach speeds of up to 250 mph (400km/h). Newer jets can achieve above 300mph (480kmh) in a short distance.
Remote Controlled tanks are replicas of armoured fighting vehicles that can move, rotate the turret and come even shoot all by using the hand-held transmitter. Radio controlled tanks come generally in commercial offerings in 1/35th scale. Probably the best known make in this scale is by Tamiya. The cost is about $80. 1/24th scale often includes a mounted Airsoftgun, the possibly the offering is by TokyoMauri, but there are imitations by Heng Long, who offer cheap remakes of the tanks. The cost is approximately $50 Their is also the 1/16th scale which is more intimidating. The only real downside to the person who has not the largest budget is that these tanks can cost anywhere from $750 up. These tanks come from ready to run to a full assembly kit.
In a more private offerings there are 1/6th and 1/4th scale vehicles available. The largest Remote Control Tank available any where in the world is the King tiger in 1/4th scale, made by mark 1 tanks in England at over 8 foot long. The pricing is very high.
