Rc Electric Cars Or Nitro High Power Cars?

Rc Electric Cars Or Nitro High Power Cars?

By:


When you hear the term radio controlled (RC) nitro high power car, it probably brings to mind events like a Saturday evening at the hot rod races or of the roar of dragsters hurtling down the track making your head spin.

Perhaps its so familiar to you that all you need to do is think of it and you can inhale the exhaust smell and all but hear the roar of the screaming crowd. There are shouts of encouragement as the drivers roar off from the start line in a haze of blue smoke.

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.

Many people wonder what the real difference is between RC electric cars and the nitro high power car models and how they should decide which type to purchase.

One of the main advantages of the nitro cars is that they are able to reach and maintain a higher speed for a longer period of time and you can quickly and easily refill a nitro fueled car and get it back on the road immediately. With RC electric cars, you have to recharge the battery before it can run again, or you have to invest in costly additional battery packs.

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.

Another consideration is noise. The high power car that is nitro powered is also quite noisy in addition to having to deal with the exhaust issues. With this in mind, these powerful little racers are not intended to be raced indoors.
