Remote or Radio

[suicideneil]

Radio. A remotely operated vehicle can be operated from a large distance, but usually via an umbilical cable (ROV submersibles for example). We use a radio transmitter, therefore they are radio control cars. :)

toe-may-toe toe-mah-toe. It's remotely operated by a radio, so it's both. A wired car and a non-wired are both remotely controlled, but only a wireless is radio controlled, so radio is more specific, but both are acceptable. I went to school with a kid named Tom Otto. He hated it when i'd say, "Tom Ayto, or Tom Otto, which is it?

I have always gone with radio, based on "Radio Control Car Action" the magazine. It isn't Remote Control Car Action. All good comments in regards to this discussion though!
