Video Transcript

Robbie for Expert Village selecting the proper radio. All of the cars are the ready to run RC cars, boats, planes, helicopters, all come with the radio. The kits or the more pro style, you have to pick your own radio. A lot of folks like to upgrade the radio, main reason for doing that is you think about in controlling an RC more of a competition type level like out on a race track or during real high speed maneuvers. Take for instance your playing a video game and its all about eye hand coordination, you think it, your hand does it. Well in our hobby there's one more step, you think it, your hand does it, then it has to get to the vehicle. The better radio that you buy the quicker that happens. It's called latency. So folks will spend a lot of money on having a very low latency radio so that when you think it, your hand does it and the car reacts pretty much instantly, pay a lot of money for that. All the cars come with what you can consider to be a average or a moderate quality radio. They don't put a very expensive radio in the kit because it would drive the price up, keep people from joining; we got a couple, or joining the hobby or buying a new one. A lot of people will stay away. We've got some cars in here that have real nice radios and they will still stay away from them cause their to expensive. Start out with the smaller one and then they will move up to a higher end radio. This one for example properly equipped, this is, this is an Airtronics M-11, very popular. If you go to a pro level event at least half of the racers you see are going to have this exact remote in their hands. So a lot of them will upgrade. There is also a lot tune ability or features. You can look at it and see all the different buttons. It's got a LCD screen a lot of different adjustability where you can actually get in here and set different thresholds inside of the car or the model.
