The electric starter is an optional accessorythat is perfect for beginners. The ELECTRIC-STARTERis 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. TheElectric-Starter will eliminate the frustration caused by pulling the string over and over and not getting thegas powered rc carto 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.
For the past couple of weeks I’ve been looking for an RC Powered Car for my 10 year old son. Wow who knew there were so many choices/decisions to be made?
Electric vs. Gas
This Brand vs. That Brand
This Model vs. That Model
What size battery to buy
New or Used
I went to a local Hobby shop but felt like the guy just wanted to sell me something. So I’ve been doing a lot of research online and have learned a lot from the forums. The people have been very helpful there and I feel like I’m getting an unbiased opinion.
The overwhelming majority of people from the RC Forum recommended RC Electric Cars over RC Gas Cars for a beginner. They said RC Electric Cars are quite a bit easier to run and far easier to maintain.
With respect to the question about which model would be good for a beginner the Traxxas Stampede or the Traxxas Rustler were recommended over and over.
As for the size of battery to buy, I was told that a 6 cell battery would be best for a beginner. The 6 cell battery will keep the speed down making it easier to control. Once he figures out how the car will respond then he can move up to a 7 or 8 cell battery that will increase the speed significantly.
When I asked the question of whether to buy new or used I heard quite a few horror stories about buying broken cars that ended up costing them more in end to fix. Most of the experts suggested buying a new car with a warranty from the manufacturer. However, if I was still considering buying a used car I should only do so through a reputable hobby shop that would stand behind the quality.
Any comments from fellow RC Powered Car enthusiast would be welcomed and appreciated.
Corgi bring you the H2Go. bringing the future to your living room with this neat little Remote Controlled car. Megawhat marvels at the miniature hydrogen fuel cell powering this nifty little motor.
Green was the theme at the LA Auto Show as car manufacturers revealed a whole new line of hybrid, electric, and fuel efficient new cars… but none of them were as stylish as Hondas’s FC Sport Concept Car. The futuristic sports car is a hydrogen powered, zero emission fuel cell supercar. The three seater is lightweight with a low center of gravity and features a powerful electric motor that helps it deliver supercar performance. The eye catching, futuristic design of the car is meant to excite fans of sports cars, not just eco friendly motorists, and its a glimpse at what car design might look like in a post gas engine world. Honda’s FC Sport is only a concept car, and there are currently no plans to enter this zero emission design study model into actual production anytime soon. But the fact that Honda could imagine such a fast, sexy, and green zero emissions hydrogen vehicle means it shouldn’t be long before all the major car companies start building similar vehicles. I’m HOST, and you’ve been watching RPMFreaks.Com. Keep watching for more news, reviews, and tips from the automotive world. Distributed by Tubemogul.
