Nitro Radio Controlled Cars – The Nitro Powered Hobby That Leaves the Others in the Dust
Jul 28th
Nitro Radio Controlled cars are similar to your garden-variety toy store Remote Controlled cars, but with some significant (and awesome) differences, the main one being these babies have a small fuel powered engine in them, and some are capable of speeds of up to eighty miles an hour!
Are you looking to get into Nitro Radio Controlled cars, or are you an experienced racer looking for the best deals on kits and parts? We’ve got the best deals on RTR cars, Kits, parts and accessories.
Nitro Radio Controlled cars are a great hobby for those with the need for speed, but without the budget to hit the track in a for-reals race car. They range in price from just a little more expensive than a high range electric RC car, to many hundreds more. With some care and patience and willingness to learn how these cars tick, they can be quite easy to own and maintain as well.
Nitro Radio Controlled cars are called such because they run on a fuel known as nitro, which is a mixture of Nitro Methane, Methanol and oil. You can purchase the fuel from hobby stores or order it online.
Getting into the RC car hobby is not as difficult as it might seem. Ready to Run (RTR) kits are widely available in hobby stores and online, and there’s a wide range of resources online and in print on how to maintain, repair, modify and soup up your RC Car. Many RTR kits come with complete care guides, DVD’s on care and maintenance, and tools and other accessories.
As the engines are quite simple, their functionality can be easily learned, and this makes it a great hobby and learning experience for both kids and adults, making these cars a great choice of hobby for the whole family. They do go like the blazes though, so kids under 12 should always run their cars under the supervision of a responsible adult. Getting involved in Nitro Radio Controlled Cars is a great hobby and learning experience for anyone, young or old.

The RC CArs of Tamiya

RC Nitro Engine
Jul 18th
RC autos are always among the latest toys in any given year due to kids’ interest in controlling autos of their own, plus the fact that there are countless adult RC automobile fans across the world. RC automobiles run on electricity, gas or nitro-fuel. The basic RC automobiles that most youngsters play with are called toy-grade RC autos. Toy-grade RC cars are powered by either normal or rechargeable batteries and are usually reasonably priced. High-end RC cars come equipped with shocks, complex engines and custom painting. In 2005, a model of a Lincoln Navigator was manufactured with working lights, a detailed interior, dub edges and a working mp3 player. Many toy-grade RC vehicle makers have started building specialised models that have unique traits, such as stunt driving capabilities, like the Discovery Radio Control Equalizer Stunt Car. It sets itself aside from other toy-grade RC cars as it has rotating wheels and can drive upside down. Even though it isn’t a hobby-grade RC vehicle, it can still do superb stuff like popping wheelies, spinning, twisting and power-slide drifting.
In the 1970s, lots of the RC autos produced were gas-fired models that used internal combustion engines. The mid-seventies brought about the electric RC vehicle, which was far better to run and maintain than its gas-powered predecessor. The 1980s were a great decade for RC car fans because major competitions commenced turning up around the world, proving that these “children’s toys” were not just for children any more. There have not been any major breakthroughs in RC car technology in recent years aside from the ability to install small music players and “tricked out” accessories.
Customizable RC cars have been one of the major reasons for the past-time’s recognition. Customising RC automobiles is a matter of preference-the sorts of shocks and tires used, whether the car runs on nitro-fuel or electricity-the chances are just about unending. The standard of these customizable parts can make all the difference in a hobby-grade RC car’s performance. Many hobby-grade RC cars don’t go much faster than 35-40 miles per hour, but the world record for RC car speed, held by Nic Case, is 134.4 mph.

What to Consider When Buying a Radio Controlled Boat
Jul 16th
Radio Controlled boats are a fun and rewarding hobby, that could be ether relaxing or exhilarating depending on your needs. Best of all it doesn’t have to be very expensive. RC boats come in a wide variety of forms and types ranging from small and steady cruisers to lightning fact racers. You can either buy one already built or you can buy it in the kit form and assemble it yourself.
Buying a ready build Radio Controlled boat is by far the easiest option. But building your own boat can be much more satisfying. This decision is dependant on your reasons for taking up Radio Controlled boats as a hobby in the first place. It is easy to find all of your RC boat parts either on the internet or at your local RC hobby store. You may be worried about the amount of work involved or think that it will be to hard to get a good result, but in the end you will be glad that you put in the effort, after all this is a hobby and what’s the point in finishing it in 5 minutes? Anyway these RC boats come pretty comprehensive instructions that make it real simple to achieve a great result in next to no time.
The next decision you need to make is what type or Radio Controlled boat would you like.
Radio Controlled boats are built in electric, nitro, and gas variants. Electric RC boats, Nitro RC boats and Gas
Electric are more popular because they are cheep and easier to run strait out of the box. Electric Radio Controlled boats come in a number of sizes, from the very small and slow pool toy RC boats to the very fast medium sized RC boat. The main problem with the electric boats is that as the batteries loose power the boat become slower.
Nitro boats utilize Nitro-Methane fuel which is very powerful and makes for a fast boat, but the main problems with Nitro powered Radio Controlled boats are that the are a little more complicated to run as you will need to use a special starter kit to get them going and the fuel is about 4 times the price of a gas boat.
Gas Radio Controlled boats run on regular car gas with oil combined in the fuel. Also known as 2 stoke fuel. These engines are larger than the other types and therefore need a larger hulled boat to accommodate the engine. With the larger hull comes some advantages such as a more stable and easier to handle craft and mixed with the cheaper fuel, makes the gas RC boat (in my opinion) the best of the three types of Radio Controlled boat.
Then there is the Radio Controlled sail boat.
The Radio Controlled sail boat is the ultimate RC boat if you are looking for relaxation or stress relief. The radio control is there to control the sails and the rudder and naturally the wind acts as the engine.
