Abstract: A method and system for activating and cancelling a first or second turn signal indicator for a radio-controlled (R/C) vehicle are provided. The method may include determining that the R/C vehicle is stationary and reading a rotation of a steering input to a stationary activation threshold. In addition, the method may include activating the turn signal indicator on a side of the R/C vehicle and setting an active turn signal indicator to on. Further actions in the method may involve determining that the R/C vehicle is in motion and reading a rotation of the steering input to a moving initiation threshold. Still further actions may include reading a rotation of the steering input in another direction to a moving cancellation threshold and deactivating the first or second turn signal indicator and setting the active turn signal indicator to off.

Abstract: A radio controlled model vehicle system, receiver, and method is provided. The model vehicle system, receiver, and method include a stability management system. The stability management system further includes a stability operating mode and a stability status indicator that indicates the stability operating mode. The stability operating mode is altered via a stability mode input device and indicated by a stability status indicator. Stability operating modes may include stability management on, stability management off, and stability management on braking, among others. The stability management system may be set on the model vehicle, the controller, or virtually using a portable, multi-function, electronic device.

Abstract: A radio controlled model vehicle system, transmitter, and method are provided. The radio controlled model vehicle system includes a transmitter containing a transbrake actuator and a throttle input producing throttle commands. The radio controlled model vehicle may include a receiver that receives the throttle commands sent by the transmitter. Wherein the transmitter sends the throttle command corresponding to a position of the throttle input to the receiver when the transbrake actuator is not engaged and sends a throttle command corresponding to a neutral position of the throttle input when the transbrake actuator is engaged. In addition, wherein a motor of the radio controlled model vehicle is powered at a rate corresponding to the throttle command.

Abstract: A cruise control system and method for a model vehicle are provided. The system may include a transmitter having a throttle input to produce a throttle command and a cruise control set input. The system includes a receiver for receiving the throttle command and a speed controller for providing a motor command to a motor of a model vehicle. The speed controller provides a motor command based upon the throttle command at a point when the cruise control set input is activated. The method for providing cruise control for a model vehicle includes receiving a throttle command from a throttle input and activating a cruise control set input. The method may include recording the throttle command as a cruise control throttle input at a point when the cruise control set input is activated and sending a motor command to a motor while the cruise control set input is activated.
