Having The Fastest RC Car - Which Are Best And 6 Essential Speed

The first thing everyone wants to know when buying a radio
controlled car: which are the fastest RC cars? If you are
looking for a long-distance radio controlled racing car, gas
models are known to keep up the speed for a longer amount of
time. Nitro cars are great for any racing, drag or endurance. In
general terms, 1/8 scale on-road cars or dragsters will make the
best racers; able to run at top speeds of 70 miles per hour and
over. The Traxxas Nitro 4-tec, or Team Associated's Nitro TC3
are one of the fastest models available going over 75 miles per
hour.

One of the fastest cars recorded topped out at 111 miles per
hour - these things are fast! Cliff Lett modified his RC10 L3O
in order to achieve that amazing speed in 2001, certified by
Guinness World Records. You'll need to think about which cars
handle the best in racing conditions, so that you can practice
drifting with ease and precision. Drifting is an important
element in racing; the fastest nitro drivers will all have this
skill down perfectly. If you want to be the fastest nitro racer,
learn about drifting!

These are some good tips for making your racing career more
successful (if you want to break some records with the fastest
nitro, your car may well need some modifications!):

  • Use a motor with less than 12 turns
  • Increase
    the size of the motor pinion gear
  • Use a brushless
    motor
  • Use high quality racing batteries
  • Pick a
    car with a rounded shape
  • Use special drifting
    tires


Always remember to play around and get to know your radio
controlled cars before attempting top speeds and drag racing.
Tiny details will change the speed, and you will only realize
what these are after a lot of racing with your car. No product
comes with modification recommendations, but it may be best for
your radio controlled racing career. Just be careful!
