technology of the Kyosho Syncro remote control device
means that it is even possible to use it to operate several

MODERN ELECTRONICS
The radio signals from the remote control handset are
picked up by an RC receiver unit located in the radio box
on the chassis of your Red Bull Racing RB7 racing car,
on the left of the engine. The receiver unit converts the
radio signals into electrical pulses and passes them on
to the car’s control servos, which operate the throttle,
brake and steering. The servos have a very compact
design, and are tough enough to withstand the forces of
acceleration or deceleration acting on them.

You will also nd detailed information on using many
other features of the model, such as how to tailor the
