Radio Cars are all About Speed!
At some point in your childhood you will remember your first experience playing with radio control models. Girl’s sorry if your reading this and thinking no I don’t. I certainly remember my first experience it was playing with an old off-road electric remote control (RC) car at my local park. 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.
In my opinion speed is everything! 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. You don’t need to spend loads of cash on cars to achieve good speed, I would recommend starting with an electric car which is easy to maintain and quick as well as also allowing you to build your knowledge.
For outright speed RC nitro cars is the only this to go for! They provide so much more speed than electric cars however there not easy to maintain. You’re going to need to maintain the air cleaners, glo-plugs etc for nitro cars because of their nitro engines. The parts in a Nitro car operate in a similar way to a fuel car and this does have its benefits. 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! Nitro cars have the beneft of only taking seconds to refuel and also lasting a long duration than their electric counterparts. For me it’s 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 don’t think you will regret it, the speed and the amount of fun to be had driving them is second to none!
