Overview of RC sets (but trains)

[Little Jo]

Today a workmate asked me -- as Playmobil expert  -- if there are some RC vehicles (cars) from Playmobil available; he is seeking a gift for one of his family members (a child  ). I confirmed that there are some available and that several vehicles could be pimped by drive unit. When he looked at the prices he was a little bit upset, especially because he have to buy the RC module separately. I adviced him to look on eBay for older sets. But then I must admit that I could not tell him a source where he can lookup all vehicles (but trains) every released to be expandable for the RC module. Does anybody know a published list?

If not, I just start here such a list, maybe you can help to complete it:

  3169 Tour Bus
  3181 Rescue Equipment Truck
  3213 Family Van
  3214 Emergency Service Van
  3263 Cement Mixer
  3265 Dump Truck
  4087 THW Rescue Boat
  4322 Pickup Van
  4323 Lorry with Trailer
  4421 Off Road Race 4x4
  4483 City Van

Does anybody know which was the initial RC capable set which introduced the RC module?

Great topic. 

I don't know much at all about the RC line of vehicles, but set 3214 the Emergency Service Van is RC capable.

Ah, thanks Night Train and Tim.

For easy access I will add them to the top list.

About the THW I also could have think of too, because I do have it ...

Great!  Looks like a re-release that follows the new Airport theme?  I really hope it makes to here in the US.

btw, any comments with regards to the old vs. new RC transmitter sets?  It looks like the only difference is a smaller kid friendly size?

AAAAAAAAND.... The old remote needed EIGHT (8!) 1.5V-Batteries to be operated and another 4 for the engine-block...
the new one only needs a 9v-block for the remote... 

best,
