The Preferable Points about Nitro RC Car
There’s nothing like the glow of a nitro RC car. Strictly hobby-grade, nitro-powered RCs cost more and require a larger commitment of time and skill but many hobbiests would have nothing less. Here’s what you need to know about buying, running, and maintaining nitro RC cars, trucks, and other radio controlled vehicles.
Nitro RC car has many advantages over electric RC car. They are faster, don’t require long recharge times and have the realistic sound and feel of a gas engine. Nitro RCs are fun to have but are also a serious RC car racing hobby. If you are considering buying a nitro-powered RC vehicle you need to know that there are significant differences between nitro and electric RCs.
Prepping a Nitro RC:
Many of the steps to getting your Nitro RC ready to run are the same for electric RCs but there are some extras such as adjusting engine fuel settings and breaking in your nitro engine.
Running a Nitro RC:
Let’s first look at the nitro side. The top two reasons I have found people prefer nitro are run time and the sound. You can’t mimic the sweet sound of a finely tuned nitro engine. It screams as it flies by you and when it changes gears, it is like your favorite song playing in the background. I apologize to all the fans of electric RC’s, but that can’t be debated. The other reason is run time. This one is a bit more debatable. Nitro cars run longer because you simply refill the tank and keep running.
Nitromethane or nitro fuel is highly flammable and nitro RCs are often much faster than their electric counterparts – even at the same speed just having nitro in the tank makes them more dangerous to be around. For these reasons, running a nitro RC requires a little extra attention to safety.
Maintaining a Nitro RC:
Just like a real car, RC cars and trucks require regular maintenance. After running your RC for a while you have to perform after-run maintenance. All radio controlled vehicles — electric and nitro — need after-run maintenance but there are a few extras with a nitro RC.
