The Speed And Thrill Of Gas Powered Radio Controlled Cars

Gas powered radio controlled cars, also known as nitro-powered radio controlled cars are a popular choice among professional racers and hobbyists. These RC's provide more excitement and speed that is unmatched by the electric powered RC.

A beginner in RC racing should definitely stay away from nitro-powered cars first, as they require much time, knowledge, and effort that only experience in RC racing can teach. The nitro stands for nithromethane, a special gas that fuels this mean racing machine. No other gas type can be used for gas-powered RC's, only the nitro can do the job.

To better explain the power that nitro-powered RC's provide: below are some of the qualities it produces on model racing cars.

1. Nitro-powered RCs are faster giving the feel of a "real" car. These cars can go from zero to sixty miles per hour. During races, this great speed can be relied on as it is backed up by a 2-speed transmission. Its engine is patterned after real race cars that accomplish faster speed records.

2. It is relatively cheap as most gas or nitro cars cost less to buy. Their popularity with experienced racers has flooded the market with different types and brands; making them more accessible and lower priced. The mass of the expenses are based on daily maintenance and customization.

3. Performance during a race is usually the same as electric cars; however, its 2-speed transmission allows it to have better control during dangerous curves and it regains its speed momentum faster.

4. They get their power from 3.5cc 2-stroke engines that are able to obtain 2 horsepower. This strong power is channeled through its 2 or 3 speed (depending on the model) transmission for full suspension chassis. Its foam tires produce the grasp to push these cars to great speeds.

5. Nitro powered RCs emit gas fumes and realistic engine roars that add to the thrill of racing. They make the race feel like it is real race cars edging each other. This is specifically charming to racers who need to "feel" and not just watch the chase.
Radio controlled car racing is a sport that has recently drawn more and more enthusiasts - unprecedented in its history. The thrill of the race, the accuracy of the engine, and the details of the model cars all contribute to its lure. The more realistic the cars' performance is, the better. And of course, unmatched speed is a quality imperative in this sport.
