The difference between a model car and a general RC car

What is a simulated car model? The simulated car model is the car model, which is completely based on the shape, structure, color, and even interior parts of the real car, and the scale model is made in strict proportional reduction, and the static and dynamic car models are distinguished according to performance. Because of its true reproduction of the main characteristics of the original car, the car model is well-made, and it contains car culture and has a very collectible value. A set of carefully collected car models can completely and truly reproduce the history of a car company and a car brand.
What toy car? It is a toy for children's play that is reduced in a certain proportion according to the basic structure and shape of the car. Its structure has inertia, mechanical, electric and electric remote control, etc., its size design is flexible, the process is slightly rough, the material is simple, and the toy car designer does not need the authorization and technical support of the original automobile factory.
In a way, the simulated car model is an adult toy. Compared with toy cars, there is not only a huge difference in price, but also a "car model" if it has the following characteristics, otherwise it is just a "toy car".
A simulated car model is characterized by standard scales, realistic vehicle types, meticulous workmanship, and original authorization.
The following is a distinction between the two based on these characteristics:
1) The simulated car model (car model) must have the original model it represents, which is the original model according to a certain standard scale, and the accuracy of the proportion with the original car is one of the important criteria to measure the manufacturing level of a car model. The size of toy cars can be large or small, which is very arbitrary.
2) In order to truly reproduce the prototype of the real car, the car model maker will not modify and exaggerate the appearance of the prototype, let alone imagine a car out of thin air. Many toy cars may also be copied from the real car, but manufacturers often modify them at will according to customer preferences and the technical level of production.
3) The car model should also be highly simulated in detail, the whole car model will be composed of hundreds or even more components, each component is a reduction of the corresponding parts of the original model, the more car model parts, the finer the parts, indicating that the production process of this car model is higher, especially the dynamic simulation car model, the accessories can be comparable to the real car, you can also play modification, off-road climbing up the mountain and water is not a problem. The detailed expression of toy cars is far from the level of car models, and many details are ignored or made together with the same piece of material.
4) In terms of production materials, the car model is made of high-grade metal materials and plastics, and the processing technology requirements are high, and the requirements of painting are almost up to the level of the real car. Toy cars are more casual, and plastic parts are generally used.
5) If a car model manufacturer wants to make a model of a certain model, it must be authorized by the original manufacturer, otherwise it is an infringement of intellectual property rights. In order to produce high-precision models, manufacturers also need to obtain technical support from the original manufacturer to provide accurate data. These are all things that toy car designers don't need.
