battle reports, photos and images of our control
systems in action.
All of the control systems and components sold by

robustness and reliability. Systems are routinely installed in a variety
of vehicles and tested for hours in some of the most rugged conditions
seen by R/C vehicles.

Our Mission
You shouldn't have to pay high prices to get quality control
systems for your R/C car, boat, tank, submarine or robot. In fact,
part of the fun of participating in such hobbies is the exchange
of technical information and solutions that have proven themselves
over time.
Cheap Control Systems
was founded by two over-educated PhDs to provide R/C hobbyists with the
the high-quality solutions they need, but that don't cost a lot of money
in the process. Moreover, all
Cheap Control Systems
are designed to be easily fixed
whenever necessary. (Of course, when do R/C hobbyists ever break anything?)
