Gas Powered RC Cars (Radio Controlled)

Published: November 29, 2006
Along with the categories of nitro and electric powered RC cars is a car whose fuel cost falls between inexpensive electricity and expensive nitro methane fuel. Any guesses? I'll give you a hint, your car probably runs on it. Yep, it's gasoline and hobbyists who still want high speeds but feel that nitro powered cars are too expensive are switching over to it.
Electric and nitro RC cars are the most popular types of radio controlled racers. But gas powered RC cars are becoming more widely available and may soon gain the popularity of nitro cars to big-time RC enthusiasts. Electric is best suited for small children who shouldn’t be handling combustible and harmful-if-swallowed liquids. Gas might not get the true RC aficionados because some prefer to mix their own nitro fuel, giving them a further degree of personalization with their car as well as maximizing their car's performance.
RC cars powered by gasoline can reach speeds up to 80 mph depending on a particular car's specifications. They are powered by two-stroke engines used in small garden tools like trimmers, edgers and blowers. These engines are relatively large so the body of a true gas powered car will probably have a scale of around 1:5; noticeably larger than most other racers around 1:10. The large size merely adds more realism with a large engine and larger parts on the inside of the car. Replacing parts, tuning and repairs can be done much easier than on smaller RC cars.
Be careful when looking for a gasoline powered RC car as a lot of nitro cars are called "gas powered." If you are seriously looking for a gas powered car, check out www.rcdiscounts.com and search for gas powered cars. When browsing, you will notice why gasoline powered RC cars are not as popular as their nitro and electric counterparts: their price. The initial price of a gas powered RC car is over $1,000. Not everyone can afford such a hobby, but those who can swear by their purchases. Not only are these RC cars larger, easier to fix and fast, but the running cost of a gasoline powered car is much lower than the running price of a nitro powered car. This way you can use it whenever you want, not just on special occasions.
RC cars are fun no matter what kind you buy. When you are buying a nitro or gasoline powered car, be aware that your car will have top speeds around 65 miles per hour. This would not be a good time to crash a hard-earned investment (unless you like fixing things unnecessarily).
