This product requires 3 AAA (1.5 V) Alkaline batteries. To install the batteries, unscrew the small Phillips head screw on the back of the remote control remove the battery cars cover, insert the batteries, reinstall the cover, and screw in the screw.
This is cool for many reasons. If you have an IR (infrared) receiver and Power functions in any Lego set that can take RC power functions (i.e. The Lego Technic Heavy Lift Helicopter / Tandem Helicopter [Set #42052] cannot, while the Lego Creator Expert Winter Holiday Train [Set #10254] can.), then this can control it.
It has a frequency switch, two dials, two direction changer switches, one for each dial (i.e. Imagine you have a Lego car driving in forward drive, and when you turn the right dial clockwise, it speeds up, and when you turn the right dial counterclockwise, it slows down. If you flip the switch underneath the right dial, then when you turn the right dial clockwise, it will slow down, and when you turn the right dial counterclockwise, it will speed up.), and two stop buttons, one for each dial (i.e. Imagine you have that Lego car again and it's going too fast. Every time you turn the car too sharply, it threatens to tip over. Suddenly, you take an even sharper turn and it literally does tip over! Now the wheels are spinning but not doing anything. Push this button. It's an override for the Power Functions motors in the car. The wheels will immediately slow down and stop.). Considering I only have the Winter Holiday Train, I don't know what the left dial, directional switch, and button do, but I would assume the dial controls turn direction, the switch makes it so that if you turn the dial one way, the vehicle turns the opposite way it would if you flipped the switch, and if you're turning, the button overrides the motors and stops the turn. The frequency switch means that if you had a Lego RC train, a Lego RC car, another Lego RC train, and another Lego RC car, then you could set the speed of a train, switch frequencies, set the speed of a car, etc. Then if you want to turn a car, set its frequency, and turn it (Assuming that's what the left set of controls does.).
This is a great product for anyone who wants to make a Lego that can be RC into an RC set.

Le parti 88000, 8884 e 8886, lavorano perfettamente con il radiocomando 8879
Nel caso non si abbia una vecchia motrice da 9V, l'88002 è un prefetto candidato per motorizzare il vostro trernino.
Con le piste originarie, un 60205 e, opzionalmente, un 60238 per avere qualcosa di davvero bello da condividere con figli e nipoti o farsi un regalo.
