Are Nitro RC Cars the Fastest…I Think So!

At some point in your childhood you will remember your first experience playing with radio control models. Admittedly I think more boys will remember this memory than girls but I think thats expected. If you don’t I definitely do, I went to my nearest car park with my friends off-road remote control car. Driving a little car as fast you can off-road was a lot of fun and trying to push it to its limits, but of course I pushed it far too hard and ended up breaking it! That day sparked my passion for RC cars and I have never looked back since.

Speed for me has always been number 1 on my list! For people wanting to get started straight away and not wanting to have read and learn about how maintain a RC I would recommend going for an electric car. Before jumping into more complex models electric cars provide a good base to get started and build your knowledge to then allow you if you want to move to more complex models.

For outright speed RC nitro cars is the only this to go for! Nitro cars go so much faster than electric but do need a lot more upkeep. Youre going to need to maintain the air cleaners, glo-plugs etc for nitro cars because of their nitro engines. They have the benefit (or downfall) of operating a lot more a like a normal fuel car than electric cars do. Nitro engines have clutches and do take time to spool up. As a result you also get the benefit of the car actually sounding like a normal car not a toy! They can be driven for longer periods and only take a few seconds to be refuelled. For me its these reasons why I like them so much however I know for other people this would be turn off. Although if you do feel you can put in the time to maintain these cars I dont think you will regret it, the speed and the amount of fun to be had driving them is second to none!
