RC Tanks History

RC Tanks. The first general use of radio control systems in models started in the early 1950s with single-channel self-built equipment, commercial equipment came later. Solid state electronics initially used escapement (often rubber driven) mechanical actuation in the model. Commercial sets often used ground standing transmitters, long whip antennas with separate ground poles and single electron-tube (valve) receivers. The first kits had dual tubes for more selectivity. Such early systems were invariably super_regenerative circuits, which meant that the use of two controllers in close proximity would interfere with each other. The requirement for heavy batteries to drive tubes also meant that model boat systems were more successful.
