you have to have good timing on when you start counter-steerinng or else you will lose traction
try electric brushless engines to drift.. Anyway, nice drifting
NOOB
in the UK motorized RC vehicles [battery] are allowed
to be used with caution and not on the road
but nitro fueled RC vehicles can be used without a permit
but only on private grounds/property and with owner of the land permission ,which is fair enough because some nitro fuelled RC vehicles go extremely fast,and would cause a nasty injury if it hit somebodys foot/leg on the main street,if that helps at all?
ps:and of course there is the high level of
noise pollution to be taken into
consideration too,so all in all !
and i have never been to sunny california in my life,i will stick my neck out and say no you cannot use a gas/nitro rc vehicle on pavements and streets purely because it
makes sense not to
I've never owned one, but I have seen many that will indeed go over 60 mph. For me they are way too expensive for the amount of fun you get out of them.
Nice drift
you use rc fuel.. its sold at any hobby store. its about $15-20 a gallon, but the car uses so little that they only sell it by ounces.
the distance it can be controlled from has to do with the power of the transmitter and receiver in the car and controller. You can buy controllers that will work well over 1/2 mile. being $180, its on the lower end, so i would say about 1/8th of a mile.
i dont have one, but my neighbor has one that will hit 75mph, but you need a license for it… thats all i know.. i dont know who authorizes the license, but i know its by how fast it goes.
try on…
Thanks!
Start with an electric. Any Traxxas electric will work for a beginner. May I suggest the Stampede or Rustler because of how strong they are. They can be driven on or offroad. So its the best of both worlds. Some links to the rc cars:

Nice!! Try practicing at a bigger place, so u can get the trick of the turns!!
I am learning to drift in a nitro rc either. try not to require to0 much from your engine, or it will break son!!
You need to track down why it locks up with the glow plug in there. Put it back in and see if the engine is still locked up. Something could be in the cylinder blocking the piston. Pull the head if you can and check. It also could have just seized from overheating. the time it took to remove the glow plug would have been enough for it to cool off and loosen up again.
nitro drifting is hard and you will destroy a lot of engines… try electric, you don’t need the best chassis to drift (actually, the best choice IMO is the tamiya TT-01, in fact a cheap car). Just buy some upgrades (oil shocks, some ergal parts and ball bearings, a 15 turns motor) and you have the best drift rc car ever
Sorry for my english^^
It depends just how hard that remote car hit your ankle…I am sure you can tell by looking at it and how large a contusion you have. At this point I would soak it in some warm/hot water 2x a day,UNLESS it is swollen.
If it is swollen, put ice packs on and off for 20 minutes intervals 2x a day.Feel better and good luck on Sunday. ***** If it really is troublesome, of course, see your DOCTOR.
airsoft much more fun its being in war just with out the deaths
1/10 scale is the most common electric if you go up from there you are talking about gas. 1/18 & 1/16 scale just come out and they are catching on big. But most will say a MPH rating and at best they might do half that. With electric r/c's the faster the car goes the less run time you will have on your battery, but just go to your local hobby shop and ask questions
cool!
if it is old, the piston may have more wear and just using more gas, you may try a micrometer and check the piston and cylinder and compare them to the specs of a new engine
