Model vehicle turn signal method and system

A method for activating and cancelling a first or second turn signal indicator of a radio controlled vehicle using a turn signal controller and comprising:

• determining that the radio controlled vehicle is stationary and while stationary, further comprising:
• reading a rotation in a first direction of a steering input at least to a stationary activation threshold;
• activating the first or second turn signal indicator on a corresponding first or second side of the radio controlled vehicle;
• setting an active turn signal indicator equal to on;
• determining that the radio controlled vehicle is in motion, and while in motion and while the active turn signal indicator equals on, further comprising:
• reading a rotation in the first direction of the steering input at least to a moving initiation threshold;
• reading a rotation in a second direction of the steering input at least to a moving cancellation threshold;
• deactivating the first or second turn signal indicator;
• setting the active turn signal indicator equal to off;
• wherein a transmitter comprises the steering input;
• and
• wherein rotation of the steering input produces a steering command transmitted from the transmitter to the radio controlled vehicle.
