Getting The Right RC Car For You

By: John Brennan..

For some people, when they hear conversations about the unique radio controlled nitro high power car, they immediately think about memories of great summer afternoons at the race track enjoying the excitement of the event.

The things that usually come to mind instantly are the smells - the exhaust fumes are so strong its like they've invade every cell in your body - and the noise. The crowd screams as the drivers pull away from the starting line and the action begins in a blue haze from the spinning tires.

But, if getting on down to the raceway regularly isn't an option for you, then you can get at least some of the same chills and thrills from having your own nitro high power car to race around the neighborhood.

These gasoline-powered RC cars are really miniature versions of the high power car models seen on the real race tracks. They run on a mixture of fuel that includes nitromethane, which is called nitro as well. If it seems that you have heard of that fuel before, perhaps in conjunction with the real dragsters, then you are right. It is the very same fuel that they burn.

One popular version is the RC high power car. They aren't quite the same as the grown up versions though as they don't lubricate the engine in the same way and so need to have some castor oil added to the fuel blend to make sure they don't become overheated and break down.

If you've considered getting a RC electric car or a nitro high power car then its important to know what the main advantage is of each. That way you can work out what suits your budget and lifestyle.

The downside a RC high power car is that they are more complex and therefore require more maintenance. They also cost more to buy and they aren't as environmentally friendly. Having fuel involved means there is more residue that has to be cleaned up when you're done.

However, because the RC high power car runs on nitro fuel to run its internal combustion engine, you're going to have a lot more maintainence issues than you will with an RC electric car. They also cost more upfront, you've got ongoing costs for fuel and more cleaning up to do because of the exhaust residue. You should also take into account the noise factor when considering a nitro high power car. Because they are very noisy and because of the exhaust, they should never be used indoors.
