On-Road Nitro RC Racing

One of my favorite racing class is 1/10 on-road nitro rc cars. Nothing can beat the excitement and realism of engines screaming down the straight.

My favorite on-road car is my NEO nitro tourer. This car is very good and lucky having won the 1999 and 2007 Futaba Cup. And after 11 years I still use it for racing, sometimes still managing to make the A-main.

Ability to tune nitro engines is a skill gained thru years of experience. In nitro rc racing it's about balancing power and fuel consumption.

Here are some videos as words cannot express the thrill of racing these fast machines.

Long live on-road nitro rc racing!
