Exclusive summary about Variations in RC Cars by Rob D Stone
If you’ve ever purchased any of the several remote control cars out there, most likely “the house” version is the one that you purchased. First thing to understand when we are discussing electric cars, they are completely different from those radio controlled ones you have at home. Starting cost of an electric car; £68.08.
Nitro cars are different because they not only have an Infinity type engine, but also require fuel to go along with 12 AA batteries. Starting cost of a nitro car; £102.12.
Then, of course, if you are a guru in the RC racing world, you are well informed about the petrol cars that used to cost at least £700, are now at the prices of nitro and electric cars. These little vehicles take unleaded petrol mixed with 2 stroke oil, and have, but are not limited to, single cylinder engines, 520mm wheelbase, 23cc pull start engine, and more features that start at £245.96.
Hopefully, we can help you get started with your very first car.
Remote Control Petrol Cars
There have been many adverts on TV for remote control petrol cars, where you see a car dashing about with a big smile on the boys face and fantastic stunts by the car itself. You will find that petrol cars (nitro cars) are faster and take more skill to control than electric cars.
As well as cars, you can also get trucks, planes, helicopters, tanks and general remote control toys.
In the UK we refer to these cars as radio control petrol cars, but in the United States and Canada they call them Gas powered cars. These cars are superior in most ways to electric cars in that the designs are more robust but the petrol gives them more power, torque and overall fun value.
