FAQs

In our hobby we use a few different terms or abbreviation here are some helpful tips.
What does ARTR stand for?
The term ARTR stands for Almost Ready-to-Run. It is a common designation in the radio-controlled (RC) vehicle hobby, particularly for cars, trucks, and boats. An ARTR model represents a middle ground between a full “kit” (which requires total assembly) and a “Ready-to-Run” (RTR) model (which includes everything needed in the box).

An R/C Aircraft that comes pre-assembled but requires, final assembly, installation of some electronics and additional parts, before it can be flown.

Bind-N-Fly® (BNF®) models include everything else you need to get in the air. Ready-to-Fly RC airplanes and helicopters have everything you need to start flying, including a complete radio system (receiver and transmitter). But with the Bind-N-Fly, you get the aircraft with a receiver but without the transmitter.

In the context of the remote-controlled (RC) hobby, a kit is a product that arrives as a box of individual parts that must be entirely assembled by the user. This format is designed for hobbyists who enjoy the process of building the model themselves and understanding its mechanics from the ground up

RTF stands for “Ready-to-Fly,” and it’s exactly what it sounds like. Unlike other RC models that require hours of assembly, these planes come fully built with pre-installed motors, pre-bound transmitters, and calibrated controls. Open the box, charge the battery, and you’re airborne in minutes.

In the context of radio-controlled (RC) hobbies, RTR stands for Ready-To-Run (or sometimes “Ready to Roll”). This term is used to describe RC vehicles, such as cars, trucks, and boats, that come fully assembled from the factory with all the necessary components included for immediate use.
