Your guide to RC cars

I still remember the day when I broke my first RC car that was
presented to me on my 5th birthday when the entire family was in
vacation in Queensland! The same day, we went to a small local
RC cars shop near by and as I entered I found myself surrounded
with rc cars and rc trucks!! Soon, I set my eyes on a Tamiya
Ford Ranger XLT. I bought that one and yes....i also laid my
hands greedily on a rc truck!

Well, that was all around 25 years ago, but my passion is still
as young.

Electric rc cars make use of a 7.2 volt battery and two electric
motors. The rc car can
speed up to 25 miles per hour and of course, this is the perfect
start for the beginner. The best part of these electric rc cars
is that you can redesign the cars to be more faster, attach ball
bearings, boost the system with high power batteries and
everything thing else you ever wanted to experiment with. With
all these modifications, you can speed up your car to 40 miles
per hour!

Similarly, the remote control car, which enables you to operate
the car from a distance. It consists of a remote control unit, a
battery, and a charger. Many remote control cars make use of a
540 size electric motors, powered by 4 or 7 cell batteries. Pan
chassis with direct drive transmission are the norm for the
remote control cars. Foam tires are used and lightweight Lexan
bodies are used.

The Nitro RC cars are the second most popular cars. The word
nitro refers to the nitrogen that is a major part of the fuel
which is used to run the nitro rc cars. The energy that is given
by the fuel combustion allows the nitro rc cars to catch up a
speed of 80 miles per hour! These are special fuel made for
nitro rc cars, regular gasoline will NOT work! Nitro rc cars are
less in weight and have a better power to weight ratio. You can
easily modify the engine with a Mabuchi motor to give a speed of
90 miles per hour!

These nitro or gas powered rc cars give that much needed reality
into the machine and is spcailly designed for people who are in
search of something different from electric cars. The most
popular gas powered rc cars today are the cheap and fast href="http://rccar.ixvv.com/Gasrccar/">gas rc car , nitro
touring cars, the BIG monster nitro rc trucks!

These gas powered remote controlled cars and similar to electric
touring cars, but with more power and 2-speed transmission. At
190mm, these cars are slightly narrower and smaller than the
200mm models. You can also search for hundreds of href="http://rccar.ixvv.com/">rc car from online rc hobby
