FAQ 

What is a nitro RC car?

A nitro RC car is a radio-controlled vehicle powered by a small glow-fuel internal combustion engine. It uses specialised model fuel rather than an electric motor and rechargeable drive battery for propulsion.

What is the difference between a nitro and electric RC car?

Nitro RC cars use a fuel-powered engine and require engine tuning, fuel and regular mechanical maintenance. Electric RC cars use rechargeable batteries and electric motors, which generally require less engine-related maintenance.

What does 1:8 scale mean?

A 1:8 scale RC car is approximately one-eighth the size of its full-size counterpart. Actual dimensions depend on the vehicle design.

What fuel do nitro RC cars use?

Nitro RC cars use specialised glow fuel formulated for model engines. The appropriate fuel blend depends on the engine manufacturer's specifications. Do not substitute ordinary petrol.

Are nitro RC cars ready to run?

Some models are supplied ready to run, while others require additional assembly or equipment. Check the individual product listing to confirm what is included.

What maintenance does a nitro RC car need?

Regular maintenance can include cleaning the air filter, inspecting the glow plug, checking fuel lines, cleaning the chassis and maintaining the engine. Follow the manufacturer's instructions for tuning and maintenance.

Are nitro RC cars suitable for beginners?

Nitro models can require more setup and maintenance than electric RC cars. Beginners should consider their experience, the model's operating requirements and the manufacturer's guidance before choosing.
