People think that "nitro" means having something extra on your car that makes it go faster because of the movie "The Fast and the Furious." So, when people hear the term "Nitro RC Car," they often think it means an RC car that has been made better.
This could also be because many people think that RC cars with gas engines really run on gasoline. This is a very false idea. The term "nitro RC car" is the same as "gas powered RC car" because this type of RC car runs on a special mixture of nitromethane and lubricant.
So, what do you need to start driving Nitro RC cars?
- The right tools and supplies. A lot of people wonder what tools and supplies you need to get into the hobby of Nitro RC cars. Here are just a few of the things you'll need:
- Experience: You need to have enough practise with an electric RC car before you buy a Nitro RC car. This is because Nitro RC cars can be too much for someone who has never used an RC car before. People who want to get into RC cars as a hobby should start with electric RC cars before moving on to Nitro RC cars.
- Information: Before you can start with Nitro RC cars, you need to know a few things. This is because racing Nitro RC cars can be a very hard thing to do. Having the right information can help you get and take care of the car that you want. In fact, if you know the right things about Nitro RC cars, you can make money from the hobby.
- Interest: Why would you get into Nitro RC cars if you didn't have an interest in them? If you want to get something out of your hobby of Nitro RC cars, you need a reason. This is because Nitro RC cars cost money, and no one spends money on something they don't get something back from. In this case, the word "profit" does not just mean money.
a) Nitro RC car kit: This comes with pretty much everything you need to build a "basic" Nitro RC car. This is a kit that has everything you need to build a car, from the engine to the chassis and everything in between. Beginners should stick to the instructions in the manual that comes with their Nitro RC car kits. As you get better at your hobby, you may want to change the way your car looks and start customising it.
b) Fuel: You can get the mixture of nitromethane and castor oil that is used to power Nitro RC cars at many hobby shops and stores. Remember that you should never try to run your Nitro RC car on gasoline. Because the engine could blow up if you used gasoline to power a Nitro RC car, the fuel used to power them is less volatile. This means that if you want to keep having fun with Nitro RC cars for a long time, you should only use the type of fuel that is recommended. By doing this, you will help Nitro RC car racing grow as you do.
