Nitro Rc Or Electric Rc ?

The cost between Nitro RC s and Electric RC s is quite significant, nitro rc cars cost more to purchase than electric models.

With a nitro RC you'll be paying for nitro fuel, batteries and need a tool to start the vehicle called a glow start and from time to time some oil will be needed to shocks and more after care is required with a nitro.
There is much more maintenance as the fuel needs to be drained from tank each time and do a visual check on everything and make sure all screws are tight and some basic maintenance after each run.
The speed of nitro RC s is crazy with speeds of 70 MPH and racing with friends is so cool and exciting.
Nitro rc cars can only be used outdoors as nitro fuel is highly flammable and fumes are poisonous, so remember to safely store your nitro fuel.
I recommend to start with a nitro rc in a big open space or park as the power of nitro can be overwhelming and difficult to control if inexperienced, the best way is to practice first because if you was to hit a kerb or rock at speed then the rc vehicle would break or destroy part of it, i hear this all the time so take note.
But with a little time and skill it won't be long before you become a pro.
Nitro RC s are awesome fun and faster than electric models. Also with nitro rc cars you can take some fuel with you and keep filling up and racing around, with a electric RC once you have run down the batteries then you'll need to recharge for a few hours before carrying on.
A good start is to consider a radio controlled nitro buggie as these can be used on-road or off-road so a good way to start, as a nitro rc car is mainly used on a flat smooth surface like a car park or race track.
I recommend a range from Acme racing as there radio controlled nitro buggies are (RTR) ready to run and all your need is a glow start and fuel, thats it and the Condor buggie is a popular model with great features and specifications.
The PRO version has a 2 speed gearbox, oil-filled shocks and a powerful 1.8 nitro powered engine with a simplified carb making these one of the easiest pull-start engines on the market.
If you do not have much time to maintain and keep tuning or adjusting your new rc car then don't buy a nitro as they need a bit of extra effort and care than electric rc models.
Your be more suited to electric RC s as no fuel to add and empty after each run +tuning and more basic care.
With electric RC s they have much less noise and can be used indoors, also little after care is required, just check the batteries are charged and a general wipe down is needed.
There are two types of electric RC s
Brushed and Brushless Basically brushless is much quicker and can handle more voltage than a brushed motor, this is because there are no brushes so a brushless motor produces less heat so unlikely to burn out as well.
Brushless is more common now and to get good performance and a fast electric rc car then brushless is the way to go.
Acme racing also sell a great range of Brushless RC buggies, cars that run at over 40 MPH out the box! thanks to the brushless motor and high power 11.1V li-po battery pack, making them super fast and open the throttle and these pop a wheelie before taking off.
so now you know the main things to consider, whatever your choice is radio controlled vehicles are a excellent hobby to start and just have fun.
