4-Channel Remote Control Box


#70038

Switches: (2) Pre-wired
Batteries Required: (2) D 

This high-quality, 4-Channel Remote Control Box will control four different motors for a wide range of possibilities and variety of functions.

The two switch panels are pre-wired and the wires are eight different colors for easy wiring to motors. The octagonal control box is easy to grip.

How it works... 

This vehicle combines a Tamiya Mini 4WD kit with several Educational Construction and Robotics parts. A Twin Motor Gear Box (70097) along with a 2-Channel Remote Control Box (70102) are used to enable forward/reverse and left/right movement. Each control stick operates a separate motor. The self-centering function of the remote control box keeps both control sticks in the “off” position. By pushing only one control stick forward or backward the corresponding motor engages and will turn the vehicle. By pushing both sticks forward or both sticks backward the vehicle goes straight forward or straight in reverse. The two other products used in the building of this vehicle were the Universal Plate (70098) and the Track and Wheel Set (70100) and the Tamiya Mini 4WD body.  The options and features are endless. Use your imagination to make something never created before.
