Speed is the Most Important Factor when Buying a Remote Control Car

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. It was so much fun trying to make it go as fast as possible then of course flipping it over and breaking it, but nevertheless a lot of fun! That day sparked my passion for RC cars and I have never looked back since.
Speed for me has always been number 1 on my list! 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! Nitro radio cars do need more knowledge and maintenance but do go a lot quicker than electric. Nitro Cars have fully engines similar to your fuel car so parts such as air cleaners, glo-plugs etc are going to need maintaining. They have the benefit (or downfall) of operating a lot more a like a normal fuel car than electric cars do. 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! They can be driven for longer periods and only take a few seconds to be refuelled. The amount of time and the knowledge needed will scare people however I personally could never go back to electric. 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!
