Carrera RC – We only go fast!

Alongside it there’s the Jeep Grand Cherokee, a perfectly-crafted, modern SUV reproduction
for the RC market. The licensed reproduction Ford F-150 SVT Raptor means Carrera RC has
another aggressive rough terrain specialist whose off-road preference is obvious at first glance.
What’s more, the new off-roaders are kitted out with head and brake lights. Another license
coup has facilitated the production of the Coastguard Boat Falshöft, perfect in every detail and
a joy for every fan of waterborne RC vessels. Thanks to Stadlbauer the noble power of the
Ferraris can now also be witnessed on the water. The aerodynamic Ferrari Boat ARNO XI is
exclusive to Carrera RC and is equipped with a powerful, water-cooled, brushless motor.
Racing Machine with a lap counter
There is hardly a model in the Carrera RC series that better represents the competitive image
of the Carrera brand than the 4WD Racing Machine. The stopwatch integrated into the controls
guarantees an ideal prerequisite for the staging of exciting Racing Machine challenges with
friends and family.
Carrera RC also offers a lap counter set that helps to transform a battle of the giants into a
full-blown competition. This accessory means time-regulated lap-based races are another
speciality that can be added to the freestyle Racing Machine driving option.
The Carrera RC Racing Machine lap counter set consists of two pylons and a light transmission
cable that serves as a start line, lap marker and finishing line. The sensor built into the
undercarriage of the Racing Machine transmits an infrared signal to the light transmission
cable. The timer and lap counting functions are triggered when the car crosses the start line.
The lap counter set makes it possible to hold a race with up to 64 cars. Each Racing Machine is
allocated a number which is displayed on the driver’s control set. On top of the lap time, the
control display also shows the number of laps completed, current race position and the fastest
driver in a lap and enables the competitors to set the number of laps to be raced. One driver
starts the countdown while the countdown itself is then displayed on every single control set.
The lap counter sets now make it possible to set up race conditions with a minimum of effort.
Whether on road surfaces or gravel paths, each course can be set up to suit the tastes and
talent of each individual Carrera RC driver – and can be adapted at will.
Technologies
Batteries and power packs
Stadlbauer is always a step ahead of the competition when it comes to the technologies used
in the RC segment. This is true for the 11.1V – 1200mAh high power Li-Ion batteries in the 2.4
GHz models and also as regards the 12.6V – 800mA rapid rechargers that quickly have the
machines back in action for up to 30 minutes.
The 27 MHz models are also driven by powerful 7.4V – 700mAh Li-Ion batteries, generating
long running times of up to 40 minutes. 8.4V – 500mA rechargers then ensure recharging time
is kept to a mere 80 minutes.
