Nitro Gas RC Cars

Nitro gas RC cars are probably the most complex remote control cars available out there but once learn can provide hours of fun and healthy competition.

Nitro cars are completely air cooled, and may be run continuously with no need to take breaks for cooling down. 

The nitro cars tend to be larger than electric RC cars on average, because affordable high-performance electronics are only generally available in 1:10 scale and smaller.

Nitro remote control cars are very powerful and fast and offer a realistic driving experience with advanced features. Now one thing I'd like to make clear if you are someone just starting out, electric remote control cars are easier for beginners to drive but they too are responsive and quick. 

Of course once you get familiar with it you'll want to upgrade to something with a little more kick and power to it!

What Runs a Nitro Remote Control Vehicle

Primarily, these remote control cars are run on nitro fuel. This fuel's composition may contain castor oil, synthetic oil, or a mixture of both. When castor oil breaks down at high temperatures it creates a lubricating film, something you want to happen, but it can make a bit of a mess if you're not careful! Just look at the floor in my garage!


Where Gas RC Cars Can Be Used

Remote control cars can be raced on the street, in your backyard or even in a park. Building a track for a remote control truck is half the fun; try taking your RC cars out for a drive on a wild, bumpy course. Granted you will need access to some land as tearing up your local park might get you a visit from the city officials.

More Pointers on Remote Control Cars

A speed controller is very important to remote control cars; no matter they are simple or complex structures. Remote control cars are a progressively fashionable pastime specifically already made for both nitro or gasoline powered Remote Control cars and trucks and electric R.C. Why is that, you might ask?

Remote control cars vary greatly in their sturdiness, and some of them may not be sturdy enough for the rough and tumble set. This could further increase the danger of choking if the authentic looking remote control cars have a lot of small pieces like headlights, side mirrors, or hood ornaments that could break off and seem like a tasty snack to an extremely young child.

Radio Shack and Tyco also make inexpensive remote control cars as toys. Radio-controlled cars use a common set of components for their control and operation.

Electric vehicles are usually slightly faster around the track because battery and motor power is more easily controllable, but the advantage is negligible. Larger nitro-- powered vehicles such as the k-scale on-road cars are amazingly fast and can run up to 1-hour Mains. 
Electric cars are powered by an electric motor and electrical batteries.

Generally the nitro gas RC cars require a bit more maintenance compared to the electric RC cars, and therefore the electric are preferred by first timers in the hobby. For the timid you can start out with an electric one and then upgrade…when you have the guts to play with nitro power!!!
