Tips and Advice For Beginners

ELECTRIC STARTER FOR GAS POWERED RC CARS

The electric starter is an optional accessory that is perfect for beginners. The ELECTRIC-STARTER is a tool that works like magic and is highly recommended for beginners who want to buy a gas powered rc car. Since most gas powered rc cars on the market are pull-start and it can be very frustrating for an inexperienced user to start the engine on a rc gas car. The Electric-Starter will eliminate the frustration caused by pulling the string over and over and not getting the gas powered rc car to start.

Not only do the professionals recommend the electric starter for beginners they in fact use it themselves to start their own rc gas cars.

Toy RC Powered Cars vs. Hobby RC Powered Cars

Posted in Gas Powered RC Cars

Post date: August 9, 2008

My son recently attended a birthday party at a hobby shop where all the kids raced RC Powered Cars.

Ever since that day he has been bugging me to buy him an RC Powered Car. I told him you have plenty of remote control cars, but he kept saying “It’s just not the same”.

So I did some research and found there are two major classes of RC Powered Cars.

First there is the amateur or toy class which are your typical battery-operated RC Powered toys (which is what my son already owns).

Then there is the hobby class, which is where the RC Powered Cars have more range, more power, more speed and of course costs more (which is what my son covets).

So we visited the RC Hobby Shop where my son attended the party to check out the cars. We watched some boys about his age race the Hobby Class RC Powered Cars on the race tracks.

After watching the boys race the Hobby version of the RC Powered Cars I have to say I do see the attraction. The cars are a lot bigger, move much quicker and sound really cool.

It turns out there are two types of Hobby RC Powered Cars. One is RC Gas Cars also know as nitro and the other is RC Electric Cars.

The store owner said that for a 10 year old boy and being his first Hobby RC Powered Car he might be better off starting with the Electric Powered Car. However, my son has his heart set on the Gas Powered Car. He says the electric ones aren’t as cool and that they don’t make that awesome motor sound.

With these cars ranging from the mid $100s to $400 and above, I think we need to do some more research before jumping into the Hobby market. I found a great book that has some really good information in it called The RC Car Guide.

I would also love comments and suggestions from other RC Car enthusiasts.

Nitro RC Cars,Gas Powered RC Car?

Whats the difference between gas or nitro rc cars?Where can i find a really fast one and durable without it being too pricey?

The only gas powered rc’s i have ever seen are in the 1/5th scale and are big cars and they run a two stroke motor which is regular pump gas that you put in your car but with oil added to it much like a weed whacker. And nitro is used in almost all smaller scale trucks and cars. The biggest plus with a gasser is that gas is alot cheaper most nitro fuels cost around 30 to 45 dollars a gallon but you can get alot of run time off of a gallon of nitro fuel.

The other difference is nitro is alot more maintence which means everytime you run it you have to clean it and there is alot of tuning involved to keep the motor running good. but like i said i havent seen many 2 stroke motors on anything excpet the 1/5 scale trucks and in airplanes. And 1/5th scale trucks for a good one which I would never get anything except something from FG Motorsports if you are going to go with 1/5 scale and they start at about 1200 dollars with out radio or steering servos and are about 1500 dollars complete ready to run.

If you want nitro and you want a car or truck i would check out www.traxxas.com they have alot of good trucks and cars for beginners. most of them will be between 200 to 600 dollars for a price range. But remeber after that you need to spend 30 to 45 dollars for a gallon of fuel, you will need to by batteries for the remote which is usually around 8 AA batteries and have lots of extras, they dont last long. You will most likely have to buy tire glue to glue the tires on the rims, you will need to by a battery and charger for the electric start which is anywhere from 20 to 100 dollars depending on how nice you want, you need around 4 AA batteries for the reciever. You will need something to fill the tank they have filling kits or you can use a funnel, and you will need extra glow plugs for the break in process which are about 5 bucks a piece some cheaper some more. And i would recommend extra spur gears or buy and metal racing on right off the bat. You will ruin alot of these beginning if you dont make sure the motor is tight.

So start up is going to range quite a bit depending on what you want for a nitro truck. If you have never had one or are not mechanically inclined i would advise not to get one becuase they break alot and require alot of fixing that if you cant do it yourself you are going to spend a ton of money. Also hop ups are very addicting and agin fixing is very spendy.

I have a traxxas t maxx its a 4 wheel drive monster truck and i trash mine alot and run it until i break fix her up and go agin. Its a very tough machine and does about 45 MPH. You can also get cars taht out of the box go around 70MPH for about 350 dollars but remeber with speed you can screw up alot worse and there goes alot of money.

I dont want you to think i am tryiing to talk you out of it but the costs and danger of losing alot of money but its there. Just make sure you take your time and learn how the handle cause you can lose it all fast.

but good luck hope you enjoy it they are alot of fun
