What are my shipping charges?
A: Shipping is $8.99 for all orders under $150.00 and FREE for orders over $150.00 Express and overnight shipping is available upon request. Call or e-mail for rates. When will my order be shipped? A: Most orders are shipped within 24 hours after the order has been placed. When paying by Wire Transfer, Personal Check, or Money Order, please call or e-mail us for instructions. Personal checks take 5 business days to process and must be cleared before your order is being shipped. What is an ESC (Electronic Speed Control)? A: Electronic speed controls replace the mechanical speed control and servo providing enhanced power efficiency and precision in an electric R/C car or boat. In addition, they are lighter which improves the performance of some electric models. What is a Servo? A: The electro-mechanical device which moves the control surfaces or throttle of the airplane according to commands from the receiver. The radio device which does the physical work inside the airplane. What does CG mean? A: For modeling purposes, this is usually considered -- the point at which the airplane balances fore to aft. This point is critical in regards to how the airplane reacts in the air. A tail-heavy plane will be very snappy but generally very unstable and susceptible to more frequent stalls. If the airplane is nose heavy, it will tend to track better and be less sensitive to control inputs, but, will generally drop its nose when the throttle is reduced to idle. This makes the plane more difficult to land since it takes more effort to hold the nose up. A nose heavy airplane will have to come in faster to land safely. What does ARF or ARR mean? A: Some plane, helicopters, cars and trucks are available virtually prebuilt and will be indicated by the terms ARR (Almost-Ready-To-Run) or ARF (Almost-Ready-To-Fly). The ARR/ARF vehicles cost a little more, but if you're just not interested in building your own, this is an option for you. Most vehicles, however, come in kit form and require you to do the building. This may require a few evenings, but the familiarity you gain from assembly will make repairs, adjustments and modifications easier to make down the road. What does the mAh number on a battery mean? The number for the mAh on a battery is a measure of a battery's total capacity. The higher the number (ex. 600 mAh, 1,500 mAh) the more charge a battery can hold and usually, the longer a battery will last. What is the difference between Off-Road and On-Road vehicles? A: Off-road buggies are the most popular R/C land vehicles. Available in gas or electric, these cars sport full-travel suspensions, and high ground clearance. Their knobby rubber tires give them the ability to tackle any dirt terrain. On-road cars don't have the beefy suspension that the off-road cars have, but they are impressive in their authentic looks and all out speed. Built for racing on smooth, paved surfaces, they are available in gas or electric, 1/10,1/12 and 1/8 scale. Off-Road vehicles are great fun on a dirt track or park while On-Road vehicles are designed for parking lots or tracks. I see the term stadium truck used a lot, what make a truck a "stadium truck"? A: A stadium truck is designed for backyard fun, or all out racing, R/C stadium trucks are the masters of "bump and jump" excitement. Like full-size stadium trucks they are built to take punishment. They have heavy-duty suspensions, oversized shocks and large tires which enable them to survive the roughest terrain. What is wing loading and how does it effect my plane? A: Wing loading is the amount of weight per square foot that has to be overcome to provide lift. It is normally expressed in ounces per square foot. This specification can be easily calculated as follows: If you know the square inches of the wing, simply divide by 144 to obtain square feet. Divide the total weight (in ounces) of the airplane by the wing area (in square feet). Planes with high wing loading numbers must fly faster to stay in the air. These are generally "performance" airplanes. Conversely, planes with lower numbers do not need as much air flowing around the wing to keep it flying. Gliders and trainer airplanes fall into this category because slow, efficient flight is desirable. |
