There are two distinct body shapes in the RC helicopters world - pod and boom, and scale model. Pod and boom refers to the "Dragonfly" design of single-rotor sports and 3D helicopters (i.e. collective and fixed pitch models) These consist of a pod, containing all the major mechanical parts, and a long tail boom with a rotor at the end.
They are built for agility, balance and speed (the way a dragonfly is) and are totally unlike a real helicopter in terms of appearance. The manufacturers have stripped away everything except the "bare bones." For those who favour performance over appearance, though, it's all that's needed. They form the bulk of the electric helicopters market, where size and weight are at a premium.
Scale model RC helicopters, on the other hand, are exact replicas of the real-life craft they are named after. It is into this second group that military RC helicopters fall. The difference between these and conventional (civilian) replicas is obvious. They are meant to fly in combat. They are designed to be swift and agile.
And that is exactly what RC military helicopters are all about. They look good, yes - but in a khaki-macho kind of way. Unlike civilian replicas, these are built for looks and performance. For this reason, they form the bulk of scale electric RC helicopters.
All electric RC military helicopters are bought ready-to-fly - unlike their larger gas powered equivalents, whose owners pride themselves in building from scratch. Cumbersome turbo engines and little men in khaki uniform might look impressive at War Games rallies; but for a novice wanting some fun with combat maneuvers, electric are best. Besides anything else, they're cheaper. Look good too.
Electric RC military helicopters are always coaxial, because of the tail. This allows them to be as lifelike as possible, as coaxial RC helicopters always have a shorter, wider tail than CP/FP craft. Some military coaxial do, in fact, have a tail rudder in addition to the main dual rotors. This makes the craft even more maneuverable, but doesn't alter any of the other dimensions.
Strip away the outer layer, and underneath a military electric helicopter is just a conventional coax. All that's been done, is to add military detail via a canopy, or fuselage. This can be lightweight plastic or alloy, and can even be purchased as an upgrade kit for standard pod and boom craft.
Although novice coaxial helicopters are 3 channel, the majority of electric militaries are 4. This allows for collective pitch on the rotors, an additional tail rudder and so on. What you then get is almost as good as a collective pitch model: the pilot can perform flips, rolls, inversions and dives, and even drop bombs - just like the real thing!
If you are not a beginner and just starting out driving RC cars, but you are not ready to jump into the hobbyist level of Gas Powered RC Cars, then the 4WD Rally Racing Skyline just might be the car you are looking for. With speeds of up to 40 miles per hour, this high powered electric rc car features AWD, or All Wheel Drive, front and rear double wishbone suspension, a high powered 540 type electric motor, and is all powered by a 7.2v Ni 1800 SC rechargeable battery.
The difference between this car and other electric rc cars? Well, first off, you will notice it is a little more of an investment, running around 9.99 up to 9.99. Beginner electric rc cars run anywhere from to 0. Also, the AWD feature and the higher powered motor and upgraded features. Beginner electric rc cars usually only hit top speeds of around 15-20 miles per hour or lower. The suspension system is also an upgrade, featuring the double wishbone and coil spring damped suspension. The controller that comes with it also features a Liquid Crystal numeral display.
What kinds of terrain? Although i wouldn't drive it through deep mud or puddles being that it is electric, this car should be fun to drive on pavement or light dirt terrain. Just make sure that you clean it thoroughly after driving in the dirt, as parts can wear out if you don't take care of them. The standard rubber tires will allow more grip on pavement, and the advanced suspension would come in useful when performing small jumps on the rally (dirt) track.
How big is it? The is a 1:10 scale model, meaning it is roughly 1/10th the size of a real car. At approximately 17 inches long and 8 inches wide, it weighs approximately 14 pounds.
Is it RTR? This electric rc car does come ready to run, other than the 8 AA batteries needed to power the remote control and a quick charge up. Just take out the 7.2v Ni rechargeable battery pack, and the AC adapter, plug it in, charge it up, and go play!
Is it a good gift for my kids? I personally would not get this particular electric rc car for children under 12, unless you know that a car with speeds up to 40 mph will not be problematic for them. There is a great selection of more novice electric rc cars, helicopter, planes, and boats on our site that would suit younger children better.

Always buy a remote controlled helicopter with a minimum of 4 channels - anything less makes it hard to control and wont fly in all directions. 4 channels are more challenging but once you have got the hang of it the flying experience is a thousand times better and will stand you in good stead should you ever wish to move to a more advanced helicopter. Advanced models being 6 channels or more can be the next step up or a first purchase when you have adequate support.
Buy a helicopter with good back up and support - you may need spares, upgrades, phone or email support and even someone that can repair it if goes wrong. Consider a company that has the backup and support of a serious RC Helicopter technician.
Buy training aids to accompany your helicopter- spending some time practicing will really paid dividends once you are up in the air. The training aids could include include ping pong balls (stabilisers) that can be bought from any good RC shop.
Consider a flight simulator - Phoenix provides the most realistic experience and graphics or you can download our FREE FMS flight sim. You can then practice on your computer and build your confidence up before starting for real.
Have realistic expectations - RC helis are amazing fun but you should resist the temptation to attempt loop-the-loops on your first go. Try moving your RC along the floor first, then fly it just a foot or so above the ground, until you feel in control. Some helicopters are easier than others to hover, so get some advice first.
