RCS

This is an older remote control system. It originated from Remote Control Systems of Australia.

The company/name was sold to a company in the US, which made some of the original systems, and then redesigned some of the electronics. This was short-lived and this page will not address those products.

Products

First product:

2 channel radio with joysticks. Futaba system?

Receivers moved servos, which sometimes activated switches

Were built originally for Reed's hobby shop in San Diego, 

Second product:

The first "Neil Dyson" designed product.

"slimplicity RC"  1994?  (4 buttons, but only 3 worked)

early ones used trimpots for acceleration and deceleration

when you go through neutral, to reverse, the deceleration was also the reverse acceleration.

just normal vibration would jar these enough to make resetting a maintenance issue.

std transmitter in the same box, 4 buttons, but no shift key on the side.

receiver and throttle were in a 2 board stack.... receiver 4x4 inches and throttle about the same size

designed to fit inside of a bachmann box car
