While there are differences in how radio-controlled toys operate, all of these toys have four main parts. The transmitter is the control you hold in your hands. It sends radio waves to the receiver. The receiver is an antenna and circuit board that is located inside the toy that gets signals from the transmitter, which initiates motors in the toy. The motors work to turn the wheels and steer the toy. All radio-controlled toys have a power source, which is typically batteries.

What is the relationship between the receiver and the transmitter?

• The receiver sends radio waves to the transmitter, which turns the wheels.

• The receiver and the transmitter do not interact with one another.

• The receiver gets signals from the transmitter so it knows when to initiate the motors.
