An abbreviation for
radio-
controlled. However, it is most commonly used in the context of any
hobby involving radio controlled
model vehicles; so one can talk of R/C
cars,
planes,
boats and
helicopters. These devices may be
electric or
gas-
powered. This is the abbreviations used by
aficionados of the
hobby and used on magazine covers. Why they use a "/", rather than the usual RC, I have no
idea.
