Remote Control Gas Car

The remote control gas car provides top quality realism and speed in the better models and larger sizes. However, the remote control gas car is recommended only for the experienced hobbyist, who has gone through the various beginners' stages and now wants to experience something superior to and more life like than electric cars. The trend today in the most popular remote control gas car series is two-fold: the cheap but fast nitro touring cars and the really big 1/5 scale rc cars and trucks.

The most popular remote control gas car scales are:

1/10 Scale Gas Touring Cars

These are very similar to the electric touring cars, but they have more power and a 2-speed gear box. This type of remote control gas car is usually 190mm in width and so is slightly narrower and smaller than the 200mm models. These rc cars are not as powerful or exciting in performance as the 1/8 scale on-road remote control gas car series, but are still capable of speeds in excess of 50mph.

Their performance at the track is similar to their electric counterparts, which means that they are usually faster in sharp, winding bends. Nevertheless, the 2-speed gear box allows the remote control gas touring car to reach higher top speeds on the straights.

1/8 Scale Off-Road Gas Trucks

The 1/8 scale off-road remote control gas truck combines the speed and power of a 3.5cc engine with the sheer enjoyment of running in off-road conditions. These remote control gas trucks, (called truckies or buggies), use a 4WD system to utilize the power from the 3.5cc engine and sticky rubber tyres to provide the much-needed grip to make the most of that power.

1/8 Scale On-Road Gas Car

This is how the remote control gas car started out like and, to be honest, if you want nothing but pure performance, it is hard to beat the speed and authenticity of the 1/8 scale on-road rc gas car. They will achieve 0-to-60 mph in 1.5 seconds and true, officially measured racing speeds in excess of 70 mph.

In order to achieve this sort of power, the remote control on-road gas car uses a 3.5cc, 2-stroke engine, which is capable of producing 2 horsepower. This power is then delivered via a 2-speed or even 3-speed automatic transmission to a 2WD or 4WD, full suspension chassis.

Their wide, low profile foam tires produce the grip necessary to propel the remote control gas car to such incredible speeds. The remote control gas car is definitely not for the novice!
