THEORY OF OPERATION
Remote Control Transmitter: (refer to the schematics and block diagram on p.31 as needed)
When the levers in the Remote Control Unit are pushed electrical contacts are made connecting the 9V battery
power to the transmitter and indicating which commands the user wants sent to the car. Forwards/Backwards
and Left/Right commands are controlled by different levers and use different sets of electrical contacts that are
used to encode a sequence of electrical pulses; the number of pulses depends on which command is being
sent. On some models Left/Right commands are only sent if Forwards/Backwards commands are also being
sent, since there is too much friction to turn the wheels unless the car is moving.
An electrical circuit that is tuned to a frequency of 27.9 MHz creates a signal that is sent to the antenna when
the pulses are active. The antenna converts this electrical energy into radio energy, creating a stream of radio
energy bursts, which travel through the air to be picked up by and understood by the radio receiver in the car.
The frequency of 27.9 MHz was selected for RCC-7K with the approval of the FCC (the US government) to
minimize radio interference between this product and all other electrical products.
Characteristics of Radio Reception:
Many factors affect the ability of the RCC-7K to receive commands from its Remote Control Transmitter. A weak
battery in the Transmitter will result in a weaker transmitted signal; if the battery is very weak then the Transmitter
may not function at all. The Transmitter’s ability to convert electrical energy to radio energy is best when its
antenna is fully extended and degrades as the antenna length is reduced; the same thing also applies to the car
antenna’s ability to convert the radio signal back into electrical energy for the receiver. The Transmitter’s
antenna transmits energy in all directions so as the range between it and the car is increased less energy is
received at the car. When operated with strong batteries and in an open area the range will be at least 40 ft.
Obstacles such as walls, furniture, and trees will degrade the radio signal’s ability to travel through air and
reduce operating range, but will never block it completely. In some cases more radio energy may travel from
the Transmitter to the car by going around obstacles than by going through them. In the car, weak batteries will

INTRODUCTION
The RCC-7K is a radio-controlled car that you put together. It has 7 control functions: forward, forward-left,
forward-right, backward, backward-left, backward-right, and stop. The remote control operates at a frequency
of 27.9 MHz. It uses 4 AA batteries and one 9V battery (not included). It takes about 7 hours to build.
Assembly of the RCC-7K will prove to be an exciting project and give much satisfaction and personal
achievement. If you have experience in soldering and wiring technique, you should have no problems. For the
beginner, care must be taken in identifying the proper components and in good soldering habits. Above all, take
your time and follow the easy step-by-step instructions. Remember, “An ounce of prevention is worth a pound
of cure”.

reduce power to the Motor and degrade the receiver’s ability to filter, amplify, and decode commands from the
Transmitter.
Radio Receiver: (refer to the schematics and block diagram on p.31 as needed)
The car antenna collects radio energy and converts it back into electrical energy; the energy here will always
be much less than the energy originally applied to the transmitting antenna. If the car is turned on then the radio
receiver in the car is continuously monitoring the electrical energy from its antenna. The first stage of the
receiver is basically a filter which is tuned to amplify any energy around 27.9 MHz and block energy the antenna
picks up outside this region. If the Remote Control Transmitter is sending commands then its radio signal will
be picked up by the receiver and converted back into the original pulse sequence. Decoding circuitry then
determines which commands were sent by measuring the number of received pulses in the sequence. Signals
are then sent to the motors to execute the commands.
Take a closer look at the receiver schematic. The sub-circuit centered around transistor Q1 filters the antenna
output, if an RCC-7K transmitter is operating nearby then the 27.9 MHz burst signal may be visible at its
collector. Inductor L1 is tuned so that the circuit amplifies around 27.9 MHz while rejecting all other frequencies.
But we really want the pulse sequence that is hidden in the 27.9 MHz signal, so then C10 is used to filter out
the 27.9 MHz from the burst signal we received. This result is applied to pin 14 of the AF2311 integrated circuit.
Inside AF2311 the signal is amplified and filtered in two stages between pins 14, 15, 16, 1, and 3. Pin 3 (DI) is
the output pulse sequence that was picked up by the receiver; this is used as the input to the decoder. The
AF2311 scans for the 4 long (synchronization) pulses and then counts the number of short pulses after them to
determine which command was sent by the transmitter. The gain of the AF2311 stages is high enough to
produce a pulse sequence at pin 3 even if no signal from a transmitter is present (it amplifies random noise),
but the resulting sequence will seldom be identified as one of the transmitter commands. Note from above that
there are 4 long pulses and 10 - 52 short pulses for each command, less pulses could have been used but then
the car is more likely to activate on random noise.
Pins 4 and 5 of AF2311 are a 100 kHz (±30%) oscillator that is used as a reference by the decoder.
Car Steering Mechanism: (refer to the schematics on p.31 as needed)
When a command is received to turn left, the AF2311 creates a voltage at pin 7 which turns on transistor Q9.
This then turns on Q11 and Q14 and current flows from the batteries through Q11, then through the steering
motor, and then through Q14 to ground. This current through the Motor creates a magnetic field. Inside the
motor is a small magnet which is connected to the gear you see on the outside of the motor. The magnetic field
turns the magnet in the motor, which turns the gear. The “teeth” on the gear grab the Steering Bar and pull it to
one side. Since the Front Wheels are connected to the Steering Bar, the car will turn.
To turn right, the AF2311 creates a voltage at pin 6 instead of pin 7. This turns on Q10, Q12, and Q13, and
current flows through the steering motor in the opposite direction. In turn this causes the steering gear, the
steering bar, and the car to turn in the opposite direction.
Car Drive Mechanism: (refer to the schematics as needed)
The Driving Mechanism works the same as the Steering Mechanism. When a command is received to go
forwards the AF2311 creates a voltage at pin 11 which turns on Q2. This then turns on Q5 and Q8 and current
flows from the batteries through Q5, then through the driving motor, and then through Q8 to ground. Similarly
to go backwards the voltage is created at pin 10, and Q3, Q6, and Q7 are turned on. The small gear on the
Motor drives the Middle Gear, which drives the gear on the rear wheels axle, making the wheels move. Note
that the gears on the Motor and the rear wheels axle rotate forward and the Middle Gear rotates backward to
drive the car forward, this is because interlocking gears spin in opposite directions. Also notice that between
the Motor gear and the Middle Gear and again between the Middle Gear and the Rear Wheels axle gear, the
number of “teeth” is increased by 4:1 and 5:1 respectively, for 20:1 overall. The Motor must rotate 20 times to
rotate the rear wheels once. The reason for this is that if the Motor were to drive the wheels directly then the
RCC-7K would be very hard to control.

CONSTRUCTION
Introduction
Assembly of your RCC-7K R/C Car Kit will prove to be an exciting project and give you much satisfaction and personal achievement. If
you have experience in soldering and wiring techniques, then you should have no problem with the assembly of this kit. Care must be
given to identifying the proper components and in good soldering habits. Above all, take your time and follow these easy step-by-step
instructions. Remember, “An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure”. Avoid making mistakes and no problems will occur.
CAUTION: WEAR SAFETY GLASSES WHEN ASSEMBLING THIS KIT.
Assemble Components
In all of the following assembly steps, the components must be installed on the top side of the PC board unless otherwise indicated. The
top legend shows where each component goes. The leads pass through the corresponding holes and the board is turned to solder the
component leads on the foil side. Solder immediately unless the pad is adjacent to another hole which will interfere with the placement
of the other component. Cut excessive leads with a diagonal cutter. Then, place a check mark in the box provided next to each step to
indicate that the step is completed. Be sure to save the extra leads for use as jumper wires if needed.
Soldering
The most important factor in assembling your R/C Car is good soldering techniques. Using the proper soldering iron is of prime
importance. A small pencil type soldering iron of 25 - 40 watts is recommended. The tip of the iron must be kept clean at all times
and well tinned. Many areas on the PC board are close together and care must be given not to form solder shorts. Size and care of
the tip will eliminate problems.
For a good soldering job, the areas being soldered must be heated sufficiently so that the solder flows freely. Apply the solder
simultaneously to the component lead and the component pad on the PC board so that good solder flow will occur. Be sure that the
lead extends through the solder smoothly indicating a good solder joint. Use only rosin core solder of 60/40 alloy.
DO NOT USE ACID CORE SOLDER! Do not blob the solder over the lead because this can result in a cold solder joint.
1. Solder all components from
the copper foil side only.
Push the soldering iron tip
against both the lead and the
circuit board foil.

Foil
2. First apply a small amount of
solder to the iron tip. This
allows the heat to leave the
iron and onto the foil.
Immediately apply solder to
the opposite side of the
connection, away from the
iron. Allow the heated
component and the circuit
foil to melt the solder.

Example 1
Poor solder connections occur
when the lead is not heated
sufficiently. The solder will not
flow onto the lead as shown. To
correct. reheat the connection
and, if necessary, apply a small
amount of additional solder to
obtain a good connection.
Solder does not flow onto the
lead. A hard rosin bead
surrounds and insulates the
connection.

Example 2
A solder bridge occurs when
solder runs between circuit
paths and creates a short
circuit. This is usually caused
by using too much solder. To
correct this, simply drag your
soldering iron across the
solder bridge as shown.
4. Here is what a good solder
connection looks like. Cut
off excess leads.
3. Allow the solder to flow
around the connection.
Then, remove the solder and
the iron and let the
connection cool. The solder
should have flowed smoothly
and not lump around the wire
lead.

PART IDENTIFICATION CARDS
To help identify the resistors and diodes used in the construction of your car we have
mounted the resistors, capacitors, diodes, and an inductor onto cards. The card will
help you find the parts quickly. THE PARTS WILL NOT NECESSARILY BE LISTED IN
THE ORDER SHOWN IN THE PARTS LIST SECTION OR IN THE ASSEMBLY
PROCEDURE.
When you are ready to assemble the car kit, follow the procedure shown. For an
example refer to page 16. The first resistor called for is R13, 1kWresistor (brown-
black-red-gold). Locate it on the card ( ), verify that it is the correct value. Some
resistors may be mounted backwards on the card so you must be certain that you are
reading the resistors correctly. When the correct value has been established, only
then will you mount it into its correct position on the PC board.
IDENTIFYING CAPACITOR VALUES
Capacitors will be identified by their capacitance value in pF (picofarads) or mF (microfarads). Most capacitors
will have their actual value printed on them. Some capacitors may have their value printed in the following
manner.

Inspection:
Double check that you have installed all of your parts in
the proper places. Be sure they are not touching each
other and creating short circuits. Inspect all solder
connections and make sure none of them are weak. Use
a magnifying glass if you have one. Check all solder
connections for short circuits. Be thorough as it is much
easier to find and correct problems now rather than later.
