The electric motor is the most common type of motor for RC models. It is usually maintenance-free and quiet. Electric motors can be divided into DC (usually with a speed of 10 to 30 km/h) and AC, which are also called brushless (up to 50 km/h or more). AC motors have less power consumption, so they last longer on one charge than DC motors that have an equally large battery.
This system allows you to continuously increase and decrease the speed and degree of turning. RC models without this system can only turn at certain angles, and smooth deceleration and acceleration are not really possible.
RTR or Ready to Ride - Ready to ride means that a remote-controlled model, such as a car, is ready for use as soon as it is removed from the box. There is no need to find and buy other parts.
Landing skids are the beams at the bottom of the helicopter that are used to land.
A gyro or gyroscope is an electronic stability system for remote-controlled models, especially for RC helicopters. It prevents unwanted auto-rotation of the model around its axis.
It is intended primarily for professional use. Compared to electric motors, it is louder and has more complex operation and maintenance, but it gives a more authentic driving experience. If you do not mind the smell of petrol, then RC cars with a combustion engine may be right for you.
As with classic cars, the wheel speed of one axle can different from the other. Thanks to the differential, the model performs better through bends and with less skidding.
BNF stands for Bind And Fly. BNF drones come complete but without a controller, which you have to provide separately in order to fly the drone. As a result, BNF drones are suitable for pilots who already own a controller or want to fly with more than one model.
RTF stands for Ready to Fly. RTF drone packages include everything you need to start flying, so there's no need to buy any additional equipment. As a result, RTF drones are the perfect option for budding new pilots.
A gimbal is a special device that keeps the camera stable when taking photos and videos by eliminating small jolts and tilts. The camera remains in a stabilised position on three axes, allowing you to take crisp photos or smooth videos during flight.
