But that’s not the rule though, you can get a transmitter with more than 4 channels as well for more functions. For planes, it’s common to get a 4 channel transmitter. While using cars or boats, it’s usual to get a 2 channel rc transmitter for steering and acceleration/brake. Similarly a two channel radio rc transmitter will be able to control 2 functions and so on. The function might be steering, acceleration or whatever you want. So let’s say you have a single channel rc transmitter that means it will only be able to control one function. In simple words, a channel is used to control a function of your vehicle. The channel we are talking about are related to functions. You shouldn’t confuse them with the channel frequencies that we talked about above because, as mentioned above, the latest 2.4 GHz transmitters handle the channel frequency issue on their own. When dealing with rc transmitters, you will hear and talk a lot about channels. But with these latest 2.4 GHz radio transmitters, you don’t have to worry about it.

Thanks to the 2.4 GHz frequency radios now you don’t have to worry about the channel frequency because, in the past, you had to use the frequency channel that no one else was using. The latest rc transmitters that are available works on the 2.4 GHz frequency. This is pretty much the basics of how your RC vehicles and machines work. Your components then do the operation accordingly. The receivers then translates that radio signal to electric signal and passes those signals to your movement components.

So when you, for example, you push a button on your rc transmitter, it sends a signal of a specific frequency that the receiver in your vehicle receives. It is called a Radio Control because you are “Controlling” your vehicle with “Radio” signals. The first one is your car or airplane or whatever you are controlling and the other one is the Radio Control transmitter.

To put it really simply, your RC hobby consists of two parts. It seems a lot of technical mumbo jumbo but it’s quite simple. If you are a new comer to the RC industry then understanding about how the RC vehicles and machines work is a great advantage and will make your experience a lot more pleasant and fun. Radio control is the abbreviation of the word RC that you might have heard when buying or looking for RC cars, airplanes, drones or boats.
