Nitro rc cars , or Gas Powered RC Cars are the next step up. Nitro rc cars operate on a mixture of gasoline and oil. They are faster and a lot more realistic than electric vehicles. One big advantage of a gas powered RC car is that you never have to stop for a battery recharge. Along with these advantages, however, comes some cons. These cars are so realistic that they even smell and sound like real cars. This limits the user to where they can run their car because neighbors usually don't appreciate the noise and smell.
Nitro RC cars are typically for more advanced RC hobbyists. These vehicles are powered by nitro fuel which is a mixture of nitro methane, methanol and oil. Even though they have more power and more speed than electric powered cars, there are some disadvantages to them. These cars constantly have to be maintained, cleaned and tuned for optimal performance. However, serious RC enthusiasts find this level of maintenance well worth the trouble as opposed to constantly recharging batteries.
