What are channels on a RC transmitter?
Most RC car radios have two channels, because a car has two functions to control: steering and throttle. Steering is “channel 1,” and throttle is “channel 2.” Some radios have three channels and are typically used with cars that have reversing transmissions; the extra channel operates the transmission.
Can you use any transmitter with any RC car?
Yes, RC transmitters and receivers are interchangeable, so that you can use transmitters and receivers of different brands, and they will work perfectly.
Will 2.4 GHz RC cars work together?
Yes. If one or both of your models is equipped with the TQ or TQi 2.4GHz radio system, you can just “switch on and drive.” The TQ and TQi 2.4GHz radio systems automatically locate and lock onto the receiver that they are bound to.
What is mode 2 on a transmitter?
A Mode 2 RC transmitter controls the aileron (roll) and elevator (pitch) with the right hand, while the rudder (yaw) and throttle are controlled by the pilot’s left hand. Mode 1 moves the throttle function to the right stick and the elevator control to the left stick.
How many RC channels do I need?
The minimum we suggest is 6 but ideally 8. When adding in a camera and gimbal to the mix this can quickly grow further (shutter, pan, tilt, roll, gimbal mode, etc). For a single operator setup with camera you would want a minimum of 8 channels for the core functions, and ideally 12+.
Can 2 remote control cars same frequency?
If you don’t plan to run your RC cars, trucks, boats, or aircraft alongside other radio controlled vehicles, it doesn’t really matter which frequency they use. However, running two 27MHz or two 49MHz RC cars near each other will usually result in interference—crosstalk. The radio signals get mixed up.
What is Mode 1 and Mode 2 in RC?
As Matt explained, “Mode 1” has the throttle located on the right transmitter stick, “Mode 2” has the throttle stock on the left. A Mode 2 RC transmitter controls the aileron (roll) and elevator (pitch) with the right hand, while the rudder (yaw) and throttle are controlled by the pilot’s left hand.
