subject: Who Gonna Say No to Nice Nitro RC Car [print this page] Those gas powered RC cars use a unique type of fuel called 'nitro' which is a mixture of Nitro methane, Methanol and Oil. So you can't be putting just regular ol' gasoline in these special engines. But, not to worry, you can get everything you need to operate these vehicles by simply getting a package deal from an online retailer. With a package deal, you'll get the batteries, battery charger, fuel, cleaner, a wrench and a fuel bottle to help you apply to fuel into the engine. And then you will enjoy great fun on the strength of the fabulous Nitro RC car to your heart's content. I bet no one would resist the overwhelming temptation.
You know, one gallon of fuel equals hours upon hours of run time. So instead of electric RC cars , like the popular Cross RC car or Wall climbing car, that need constant recharging and are generally slower, these nitro RC cars allow you to maintain top speeds with minimal time in the pits after adding the appropriate fuel!
Want to know a little secret? The truth is that it's not that difficult to get into the RC car hobby. You can get all RC cars and trucks RTR (ready-to-run) - so they're ready to go straight out of the box! With just a little time out in the field or on the street, you'll be just as good as anyone else.
Well, if you take an interest in buying the thrilling Nitro RC car, you might as well take safety, handling, and storage into account. You might be thinking to yourself, are these Nitro RC cars safe? Yes, they do go fast, but as with all matters, the person driving these vehicles has to take a degree of discretion and responsibility when racing these around in public places. Any driver under the age of 12 should be supervised by an adult. Also, be careful not to run them into any walls, trees, etc - a nitro car going 50mph+ straight into a tree is obviously going to take some damage! Additionally when winter comes and you're storing your nitro RC car - be sure to empty the tank of any fuel - as well as oil, etc. Store your fuel on top of cardboard and in a cool, dry area to keep it fresh for longer. Make sure to take out any batteries, and discharge the batteries for storage. You can learn more about batteries and how to discharge them at the nitro RC car batteries page. When racing season comes again, you'll want to fill your tank with a fresh batch of fuel.
