Unrivalled control of your model

The Commander series by ScaleART Model Manufactory brings a whole new level of control to your collection.

ScaleART Commander from the model manufactory

Settings are saved directly in the model so that any ScaleART Commander family controller can be used immediately without prior programming. Model clubs will certainly be happy about that, and even individual collectors benefit from it. Changing the model works at the push of a button and there is no need to shift gears on the vehicle. The Commander series is designed by and for model makers. This is where perfectionists are at work, and this becomes visible in the quality of the materials used to make Commander remote controls.

Sturdy housing and scratch-resistant displays

We work with modern CNC machines to build a strong housing from solid aluminium blocks. The next step in creating high-quality models in the Commander series entails refining the housings with an anodised. The control surface is made of tempered glass and all lettering is printed from the back side. This makes for a display that is scratch-resistant and has a unique feel. Thanks to its high-quality, elegant yet functional design, you will put your Commander remote control in your display case with your model from now on.
