RC
Cars and Trucks Online Guide
For truck lovers, a big section on remote
controlled rc
trucks,
such as electric, nitro, monster and mini r/c trucks. Fast growing is
the short course rc trucks... great for beginners and experts.
The fastest and most exciting category, gas
powered rc cars
can go as fast as 50 - 60+ miles per hour. The 1/8 gas cars go 70 - 80
mph in racing competitions. Cen CTR 5.0 is coming out with a 90+mph on
road nitro rc car.
Also called nitro
rc cars
because the hobby fuel used contains nitro methane to increase speed
and power. Popular are the 1/10 on-road nitro touring cars. Cen CTR5
(90mph), Nitro 4TEC (70mph), and more. Learn more
by reading popular forum
topics.
For beginners, electric
rc cars
are the best... easier to control, build, and maintain. New are HPI
Sprint 2 Flux, Formula 10, Cup racer, Tamiya M05 and F104. Great
reviews have been posted in rc car forums.
If you prefer playing or racing indoors or
have limited space to play, there are small but fast micro and mini
rc cars.
Popular models are the 1/28 Kyosho Mini-Z and the 1/18 HPI Micro RS4.
One of the hottest segment of the hobby, and companies are scrambling
to produce their own mini remote
control cars
and trucks.
For exciting dirt action, the 1/8 off-road
gas rc buggies
are the fastest around an off road track. These 4x4 machines reach
speeds of 40+ mph. Also truck versions called Truggies.
There are also 1/10 off-road electric remote
control buggies
such as the RC10B4 which are great racing buggies for beginners.
I've been subscribing to rc
car magazines
since 1988. You get great pictures, race coverage, reviews and
performance tuning tips to make your car go faster.
And if you are ready to buy, there are
plenty of rc
hobby shops and stores
