Nitro Powered Cars

Another type of RC car is the nitro powered model cars. We all
know that nitro powered cars are fast and it's what most
hobbyists' reason why nitro cars are often chosen over electric
RC cars. But of course, this isn't an ideal car model for
beginners. Compared to electric powered models too, nitro cars
give the real feeling of how racing should be. Over the years,
development has been improved for better and efficient running.

There are numerous disadvantages in using nitro cars and
maintenance among them. Dirt is easily accumulated after a short
run and the chassis of the car requires cleaning in a regular
basis. Also, another requirement for maintaining nitro powered
cars is how it should be properly tuned. Nitro cars need to
perform in top condition and maximum speed without consuming
much of the fuel. Through proper tuning, overheating of these
types of cars is prevented.

Compared to electric powered cars, a battery-powered car can
achieve a run of about 10 minutes tops and then the batteries
need to be recharged again; whereas nitro cars can be driven for
longer duration.

A nitro powered car has four distinct parts and it includes
special nitro fuel, the high horsepower engine, the pipe for
tune exhaust and the air filter can be replaced. These parts are
important for cleaning and regular check up because if these
materials are neglected; a possible mechanical wear could
happen.

One safety precaution falls under collision. Nitro cars are more
prone to collision with other nitro cars due to the speed and
power during acceleration. It's important to be aware first of
safety measures regarding nitro cars before putting them to the
real test. Generally, nitro cars require more attention since it
asks for a lot of maintenance; but you can guarantee its
performance as well if handled with great care.
