History

A pioneer in the RC industry, Deans ® began with reeds and relays, 1955, the SPDT Relay was introduced for R/C planes but was also used on early computers. Deans® soon went into radio and connector design and production.

Bet you didn't know-

Does your R/C car transmitter have a steering wheel?  Deans was first in the world to design and produce a "Wheel Radio"

In the days of NiCad and NiMH cells, Deans produced the revolutionary "Speed Jig". Its’ patented design with a clamp for the battery bar made it the #1 selling battery jig. XTREME RC CARS Magazine gave it an A+ rating, even going so far as to say, "The Misses - If you can figure something out, tell us." The publisher, Mike Velez told us it was the highest rated product he ever tested!

In the mid-2000s DEANS® went racing - not R/C - Formula BMW, Star Mazda, Toyota Atlantic, and Champ Car Atlantic. Click this link to see the 2008 Long Beach Grand Prix Atlantic Championship. Long Beach Grand Prix.
