i want an rc i can just have fun with , just to get me out of the house ,
any models u would recommend ?
Oh no! I’m “mechanically challenged”!
As a nitro owner.
Buy electric, lot quieter and you can drive it any time of the day.
Extra batteries may add to the cost, but it’s worth it.
I’m not bashing (pun intended) on Nitro users it is just I have very little
mechanical skills. My brother bought me 2 Nitro vehicles when I was rather
young (12-13 or so), and the were a NIGHTMARE to maintain and tune. He was
able to do it no problem because he is an auto technician and he loves
doing that. To me, Electric seems like a great option (especially now with
brushless motors and LiPo batteries). I have a monster truck coming in the
mail next week and cannot wait to be re-introduced to the hobby.
Good info buddy, but those rc’s are hella lame :)
Nitro is better because the fuel lasts longer whit a electric you could
only get like 1or 2 hours the nitro car can last 6 hours but its simpel
gust full it up but whit electric rc cars you have to whaight hours for it
to change and nitro is faster
2 or 4 weel drive
I want to buy brushless electric drifting rc car to be used indoor on tiled
surface i want car to run atleast 2 hours on one charge any suggestion? My
budget is not more then $250.
i LOVE nitro cars personally, when you on a beach and your running an
electric car, no one is bothered but when you have a nitro car people stop
and stare and say woow and try to talk to you, for me that’s more fun.
electric is better but they just bolt the cheapest shit parts on them like
i paid 400$ on my slash 4×4 wanted to tune it to go faster so i bought the
most powerful battery for my vxl 3s and that fuckin thing was quick but
broke everytime i brought it out, where as i bought a nitro car with 4wd
for 100 bucks on ebay brand new all aluminum parts but didnt include the
engine so i bought an engine for 100 bucks xtm .18 racing engine, and it
may have been a tad slower then my electric rc car but my electric one was
400 bucks!!!!!!! and all in all glow plugs, gas, glow starter, air filter
radio, cervos costed me 225$ exactly and nitro is WAAAAAAY more fun then
electric cause it sounds like a screaming banshee!!!!!! and the fuel may be
expensive but personally i think they last a bit longer cause the
components are made from cheap ass plastic
Electric for the win! Nitros are cool though
Lol electric has a lot more acceleration than a nitro car, anyone that is
into rc stuff should know that. My local rc club race there cars every
Saturday and the electrics pretty much always win, so for those of you
saying electric is for wimps I will gladly race you. For anyone new to it I
would strongly recommend electric, especially if you plan on doing a lot of
competitive racing. Not bagging nitro, I own an electric and nitro car and
love driving both but it makes me laugh when the nitro fans say electric
cars are the wimps choice.
Very helpful. Thank you.
THUMBS UP FOR HIMOTO BOWIE!!!
One isn’t better than the other…Only different. As a mechanic and car
enthusiast at heart. I chose and love Nitro. Sure it’s more work, but I
love it and that’s what matters.
Hola amigo creo que te falto decir que hay que tener bien cargado el
hotshot o calentador de bujías, la caja de arranque o marcha para hacer
girar el motor mientras arranca y el costo del nitrometano, claro en
velocidad tal vez un eléctrico seamejor pero en peso el de nitro tiene
mejor estabilidad por el peso que tiene. Saludos.
Im all a nitro fanatic, Nitros can keep their speed depending on gear
ratio. Also the same thing with Electric
Which will cost more??
Nitro is for people who are serious about getting one electric is for
babies. Screw my neighbors I have a nitro car and let me tell you it’s
amazing much faster than a gay electric and you can tune it anyway you want
How to know that the engine is damaged, as one can know, my car electric is
tornado exp red cat, engine 3300kv
where did you get the cars
Team associateds speed record with rc car is 170mph.. the car still
accelerated but it went flying into the air and crashed into a million
pieces.. all this with brushless and lipo power. one downside with electric
is you need to be geared so the motor temperature stay below 75celsius, or
have alarm system. if not your magnets can get unglued from the rotor..
just swap motor pinion when your running speed runs on asphalt. And don’t
drive in tall grass.. brushless got way more torque.. nitro can use much
thicker diff oil without the car going wheely maniac or damaging drive
shafts that was made for nitro.
Nitro
An actual pro and con of nitro and electric? Good job sir. I agree totally,
although comparing base costs including nitro, batteries, chargers, run
time, battery life, filters, replacement motors / engines. I look forward
to further reviews and have subscribed.
Yeah ok Elijah. I don’t care how well you tune your nitro engine. It will
never move as fast as the mighty electron does. Nitro used to be much
superior to electric RC cars, but now with brushless motors and LiPo
batteries, nitro is getting it’s doors blown off. They are both fun and
with nitro you have the satisfaction of running a real working engine, but
when it comes to pure performance and ease of use, electric all the way.
electric cars are a wimps choice nitro is cheaper, more fun and manly
thank you so much for the info!
Now electric cars are faster than nitro
I have Nitro’s but sometimes I like to scare turds out of my cat and I
can’t chase him around indoors blasting exhaust fumes everywhere so
electrics are good for rainy days.
6000 will really last a hr???
i like your video very educated im now.
Those are HSP not Redcat. REDCAT RACING IS A OFFBRAND COPY OF HSP
i love the blue color on the brushless truck
great vid mate i have the brushless one that is in this vid 🙂 i also have
a nitros aswell.
You can still use LiPo batteries with brushed motors. Its the ESC that
needs to be compatible.
Brushed and LiPo are fine. The ESC needs to be compatible.
3:33 “weather or not you have a brushless or a brushless motor”
hey nitro is sick !,…..but lets be honest….gas combustion engines are a
thing of the past…….I like your video…but facts are facts
nitro cars are like flip phones…soon will die out and be forgotten
….and then you get a smartphone… or brushless electric car…fact
Brushless systems have the following advantages over brushed – more
efficient which will provide longer battery life – are generally
significantly faster than brushed motors – can use LIPO batteries for
significantly higher speeds and acceleration – are normally sealed which
avoids getting dirt in the motor
Why not both? Thats what i did:)
Electric RC cars are catching up to gas RC cars in speed and run time.
Electrics are usually the same MPH if not 1 or 2 mph quicker than gas cars.
Make it blue! Lol
uhhm, the nitro gas truck is a redcat and the electric ones are but the
nitro
those are off brand
Smoke & gas baby!!!!
I’d like to see an electric truck pull a nitro truck. Nitro = torque.
seems a lot more like an opinion to me. but what do i know, i only learned
the difference in school
I am getting a nitro this Christmas and I will be 11 and my dad will help
me use it
nitro is a mess especially if you live in a big city like i do. brushless
is the way to go no flammable materials, and basic mechanical skill will do
just fine, about the battery limitations, just get a few 5000+ mah lipo
batteries and you will be having fun for more than you can handle……..
over all a lot more fun and no running after when it flips…..
