At some point in your childhood you will remember your first experience playing with radio control models. Admittedly I think more boys will remember this memory than girls but I think that’s expected. I remember going with my dad to the nearby park and driving this old electric remote control car for hours. Driving a little car as fast you can off-road was a lot of fun and trying to push it to its limits, but of course I pushed it far too hard and ended up breaking it! 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 who are just starting I would recommend to go electric they have good top speeds and are very easy to maintain. Before jumping into more complex models electric cars provide a good base to get started and build your knowledge to then allow you if you want to move to more complex models.
For outright speed RC nitro cars is the only this to go for! They provide so much more speed than electric cars however there not easy to maintain. You’re going to need to maintain the air cleaners, glo-plugs etc for nitro cars because of their nitro engines. The parts in a Nitro car operate in a similar way to a fuel car and this does have its benefits. There engines take time to spool up and the clutch to engage and they sound like normal cars! They can be driven for longer periods and only take a few seconds to be refuelled. I know some people will be put off by the added time you need to put in and if that is you then I would definitely recommend going for an electric RC. These cars are a lot of fun and I don’t think you will regret buying one if you’ve got the time to maintain them, a must for any RC enthusiast!
