Anytime you hear somebody talk about the radio-controlled nitro high power car, it is more than likely that flashes of evenings at the races come to mind, complete with the roar of the engines.
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.
So, if you love the feeling you get from that kind of an experience, but can’t make it down to the raceway on a regular basis, then maybe a nitro high power car is for you. With the miniature version, you can capture some of the excitement that comes from being there.
The RC high power car runs on nitro. It does not have to be a dragster style RC car either, because all RC nitro cars use the fuel. Interestingly, the nitro radio controlled cars don’t have a way of getting lubrication through the engine like the real cars do, so the nitro fuel for these mini racers have a small amount of castor oil added to the fuel mix to help keep the small engines from becoming overheated and ultimately from being damaged.
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.
It all comes down to performance and stamina. One of the big things with a nitro car is that they can go faster for longer and you can top them up easily and have them back on the road sooner. Unless you have an electric battery, your RC electric cars will be down until it recharges.
Nitro cars are fast. Must faster than electric cars and they can maintain their speed for longer. They also only need to be refuelled and they are back on the road. RC electric cars are powered by batteries so unless you are prepared to buy additional battery packs you won’t be able to race all day.
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.
