When you hear the term radio controlled (RC) nitro high power car, it probably brings to mind events like a Saturday evening at the hot rod races or of the roar of dragsters hurtling down the track making your head spin.
Maybe you can even close your eyes and smell the pungent exhaust and hear the din of the screaming crowd cheering. Cheering on their favorite racer as the drivers peel away from the starting line amidst clouds of blue smoke from their tires.
Well, if you can't make it to the speedway every weekend, but still love the charge you get from those sights and sounds, then a nitro high power car might be for you. It is a miniature version of what the big guys have, only controlled by radio and it might just fit the bill for some excitement around your house.
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.
If you're wondering what the difference is between nitro high power car models and the RC electric versions and which one you should get then you're not alone.
One of the main advantages of the nitro cars is that they are able to reach and maintain a higher speed for a longer period of time and you can quickly and easily refill a nitro fueled car and get it back on the road immediately. With RC electric cars, you have to recharge the battery before it can run again, or you have to invest in costly additional battery packs.
The RC high power car that runs on nitro fuel is essentially firing an internal combustion engine and so they do require more maintenance as compared to the RC electric cars. They are also more expensive to get into as well. In addition, they are somewhat more trouble to clean up after because of the fuel component and the exhaust residue that must be dealt with.
However, because the RC high power car runs on nitro fuel to run its internal combustion engine, you're going to have a lot more maintainence issues than you will with an RC electric car. They also cost more upfront, you've got ongoing costs for fuel and more cleaning up to do because of the exhaust residue. You should also take into account the noise factor when considering a nitro high power car. Because they are very noisy and because of the exhaust, they should never be used indoors.
