RCrelated

RCrelated is a term used in online communities, databases, and hobby resources to denote content related to radio-controlled (RC) devices and activities. It is commonly used as a tag or category in wikis, forums, and knowledge bases to group articles about RC technology, hardware, and operation.

The scope of RCrelated covers a wide range of subjects. It includes aerial platforms such as RC airplanes, helicopters, quadcopters and fixed-wing drones; ground vehicles such as RC cars, trucks, buggies; watercraft such as RC boats and ships. It also encompasses components and subsystems: power systems (electric brushless motors, nitro and gas engines), propulsion, control electronics (receivers, servos, electronic speed controllers), transmitters, telemetry, batteries (notably LiPo safety and charging), and accessories like hobby servos, motors, gears, and chassis. FPV and racing are common subfields, as are building, customization, maintenance, tuning, and repair.

History and development: RC technology began in the mid-20th century with simple toy vehicles and evolved through brush motors to brushless systems and LiPo batteries, enabling higher performance and more complex control. The rise of microelectronics and FPV streaming expanded the hobby into racing, freestyle, and education, with online communities and manufacturers providing rapidly evolving parts and guides.

Community and standards: RCrelated content is driven by hobbyists, educators, and industry professionals. Safety guidelines cover battery handling, propeller danger, and airspace regulations. Different countries enforce rules on airworthiness, third-party flight, and model aircraft registration. Communities maintain standards around documentation, repairability, and fair sharing of knowledge; events include local meetups, club races, and large-scale competitions.
