Question 1

What is better: Electric or Nitro for a Fast RC Car?

Accepted Answer

Remote control cars are electric or fuel-powered model vehicles. The electric models are powered by small yet powerful electric motors and rechargeable batteries. There are also radio controlled cars with brushed or brushless electric motors.

Question 2

What is better: Off-Road or On-Road?

Accepted Answer

In both electric cars and nitro cars, on-road vehicles and off-road vehicles are available. The difference between off-road and on-road cars is that off-road cars are built for various types of terrain. Off-road cars are built with fully functional off-road suspensions and wide tires. Meanwhile, on-road vehicles have less robust suspension. Technically, on-road cars are limited to only smoothly paved surfaces. However, in the past ten years, there have been advances made in “on-road” cars. Their suspension has been made adjustable as any full-scale race cars nowadays.

Question 3

Should I get Brushed vs. Brushless RC Fast Cars?

Accepted Answer

Brushless motors can reach higher speeds as we have mentioned earlier and last longer. They don’t have contact brushes unlike the brushed. Therefore, they don’t need to be regularly cleaned and maintained.

Question 4

How do I know if a remote control car is brushed or brushless?

Accepted Answer

As the name suggests, brushless motors do not have brushes. Inside it, the magnets turn and the coil is fixed. If it is a brushless motor, it will have three connectors. On the other hand, if it is a brushed motor it will have only two connectors.

Question 5

What Batteries are better: LiPo vs NiMH?

Accepted Answer

The next variable that could either make or break a fast RC car has to be batteries. So, LiPo or NiMH? LiPo stands for Lithium Polymer and NiMH means Nickel Metal Hydride.

Question 6

How To Have A Fast RC Car?

Accepted Answer

Other than the various kinds of engines and power systems mentioned previously, there are more variables that you must consider. These factors are important in fast RC cars. The wheels, weight, and gear ratio affect the speed of your remote control car. Keep these factors in mind when you’re about to upgrade to a fast RC car and to have better velocity.
