*Note the model’s performance would be enhanced with remote control as unlike a direct drive model where the wheels will rotate and propel the model at fixed speed, a propeller driven model’s speed is decoupled from that of the prop and largely is dependent upon track friction. Where curves and points require move power. to negotiate.
