Nitro RC Cars

A very important fact that should be known about nitro RC cars is that they are not gas RC cars and do not run on gasoline.

Nitro RC cars use nitro fuel which is a mixture of oil, methanol, and nitro methane. Although nitro is not in anyway as volatile as gasoline, it is flammable and should be treated as such.

Nitro RC cars give the driver more control and also have an unbelievable realistic sound, some even have smoke!

They are also faster and have a much longer run time then electric RC cars although electric RC cars are getting faster and faster.

Although you can pay a hefty price for some really nice electric RC cars, nitro RC cars are usually much more expensive.

The nitro fuel used to run nitro RC cars is very expensive costing about $30 – $45 dollars a gallon. Nitro RC cars however have a much longer running time, more then electric RC cars and gas powered RC cars so a gallon of nitro will go a long way.

You should also know that RC nitro powered cars are a lot messier then electric RC cars and involve a lot more work, requiring a cleaning after every use in order to increase their run life.
