The radio control unit controls the speed and the direction of the car. The batteries and charger accompany the model to provide the necessary power. To provide enough power a 7.2 volt battery pack is equally essential. They can be Nickel – Cadmium (NiCad) or Nickel Hydride (NiMH) rechargeable batteries. Tamiya, Orion, Trinity, Sanyo and Panasonic are good brands to buy.

Battery charger comes in two types -Timer and peak detection charger. With the timer charger full charging of the battery needs to be monitored.
