Radio Control FAQ
What does RTR in RC cars mean? Do they come with a radio?
RTR stands for "ready-to-run". All of our RTR cars & boats include the radio system.
Some RC planes are listed as BNF and the same models as RTF with a higher price; what is the difference?
In RC planes, BNF (bind-n-fly) models are for those pilots that already have a 2.4 GHz radio. If you already have a compatible 2.4 GHz radio all you have to do is 'bind' the radio to the plane and you're all set to start flying. If you do not already have a compatible radio, the RTF (ready-to-fly) version includes a radio and that is why the price is slightly higher.
How long is the run time for electric RC cars?
The run time for electric cars is generally 7-10 minutes, however you can get upgraded batteries that will increase the run time to 10+ minutes.
I own a Traxxas E-Maxx and want to step up to a gas powered truck with a T-Maxx. Besides what comes in the box, what else will I need to get started?
We would love to get you started in the T-Maxx world! Since you already have the 7.2V battery and charger, all you need is the Traxxas 20% fuel and a fuel bottle.
We also recommend getting some additional glow plugs (part #TRA3232X) and at least a few quarts of fuel as you will go through a few tanks alone just breaking in the motor on the T-Maxx.
