Nitro Radio Controlled
Kids and adults of all ages enjoy the thrilling experience of nitro radio controlled scaled vehicles. Whether you want to compete or just have some fun, there are lots of options to choose from, starting from your basic kits (RTR – Ready to Run) to your more advanced custom kits. Cost wise they aren’t that expensive for starter kits and it really depends on the type of vehicle you want.
Quite popular is nitro radio controlled scaled car racing, an adrenaline pumping sport that isn’t for the faint hearted. Nitro powered vehicles are extremely fast and require time to get used to. First timers may find that they’re harder to control compared to regular RC toy cars and need a bit more maintenance because they have an engine which is nitro fueled.
Perhaps this is why they are typically more popular with enthusiasts and hardcore radio controlled fans. When you’re got a high powered scaled vehicle fueled with a combination of methanol and nitro methane it’s hard not to take it more seriously. In fact there are large communities around the globe that get together to race cars, and off road vehicles such as buggys and even monster trucks.
They may get together to show off their custom scaled vehicles and see what others are doing. Not everyone who owns a nitro radio controlled car competes and races. Some just enjoy building and souping up cars fitting them with the latest nitro fueled engines, building custom body kits, fitting tires and modifying them till their hearts content. For these people it’s more about the craft. Others enjoy the thrill of building the fastest RC and watching them roar down a track.
While RC cars are the most popular, there are also nitro powered RC airplanes and helicopters. Aircrafts are generally much more difficult to control and require a lot of open space to fly. They are also pricier compared to ground type vehicles. In addition, there are also nitro RC speedboats which are a great deal of fun but need open water such as a lake or swimming pool.
With so many options, you might be wondering which nitro radio controlled to go for if you’re a beginner. If you’re new to the world of RC, start with a land-vehicle that’s ready-to-run or a starter build kit if you want more of a challenge. You’ll be amazed at how much fun and satisfaction you’ll experience from building and running nitro RC kits.
