Model Forum / Radio Controlled / Land Models / January 2007How far can you control an rc car ?
How far can you control an rc car with a remote? 500 meters ? 1000 meters ? 2 km ? : How far can you control an rc car with a remote? : [quoted text clipped - 3 lines] : : 2 km ? typically 100 metres. alot more if you own a specktrum. > : How far can you control an rc car with a remote? > : [quoted text clipped - 5 lines] > > typically 100 metres. alot more if you own a specktrum. IME it's WAY further than that, but unfortunately, I only have the stock human eyes so can't drive accurately at any more range :-)  SignatureDan Formerly DanTXD >> : How far can you control an rc car with a remote? >> : [quoted text clipped - 8 lines] > IME it's WAY further than that, but unfortunately, I only have the stock > human eyes so can't drive accurately at any more range :-) Agreed. I've had my 75Mhz systems a good half click away and had to turn it back towards me as it was getting hella difficult to see at that point!

My standard HPI equipment will drive out of sight. I live next to a 2 mile strecth of grass. I can drive it out of sight and turn it around. Even better I done it with the battery low flashing :) Maybe next time I try it I'll have a failsafe for peace of mind ;) > How far can you control an rc car with a remote? > [quoted text clipped - 3 lines] > > 2 km ? Generally speaking, with fully charged tx and rx batteries and no interference, your car's effective range of control will exceed that of your eyes. Exact numbers are difficult d/t a huge number of variables...........but a safe guesstimate would be 1-1.5km. Doc It depends on where you live as well. I live in Baltimore City......with a AM radio I'm lucky if I get 150 feet with an electric vehicle, Nitro seems to be much less. The FM's seem to give much better performance with my Nitro's. On my Titan, I had to get off any AM system because I could get 20 feet away and I'd end up in a wall somewhere no matter which channel/receiver combo I used. The Spektrum is best though.... I wish I had the cash to switch all my RC's to spektrum, but I can't afford to purchase about 4 systems along with about 8 additional receivers.
