What does Ready-2-Run really mean?!
Well, everyone is different depending on the manufacturer producing the kit. Some companies market RTR kit that has been factory assembled with some electronic component. Some companies only include the radio and servos. Most companies go the extra mile and include all the radio transmitter gear installed in the factory built kit minus the battery, battery charger, and fuel (if necessary).
