Electric remote control cars use high capacity compact batteries to drive brushed or brushless motors via an electronic speed control. They run on small but powerful electric motors and rechargeable nickel metal hydride, nickel-cadmium, or lithium polymer cells. Electric batteries take a while to charge, but quick chargers can help save time. High-performance motors must be allowed to cool down after use, in order to avoid demagnetizing the permanent magnets. Electric cars tend to be lighter than nitro models because they have fewer components in the drive system. They also have more consistent torque and faster throttle response than nitro vehicles.
Fuel-powered cars, also referred to as nitro cars, use glow plug engines. These are small internal combustion engines fueled by a special mix of nitromethane, methanol, and oil that is usually a blend of castor oil and synthetic oil. Nitro engines, like full-sized gas engines, take time to spool up and for the clutch to engage. Nitro remote control cars are completely air cooled, and may be run continuously without any breaks for cooling down. In addition, they may be refueled and returned to action in a few seconds, unlike electric models that need to have the body shell and battery fasteners removed to replace a discharged battery.
Gasoline-powered vehicles run on premixed oil and gasoline. These types of remote control cars are also called fuelies. They cost more than electric and nitro cars, and are much bigger, thus needing more space. Gas cars don’t usually have high top end speeds compared to the other models, but have plenty of power and don’t need a lot of fuel to run. Gas powered motors rarely require tuning and have a very long lifespan.

Help answer the question about remote control car
How do I get my nitro powered remote control car to run?I recently purchased a Nitro powered remote control car, brand new! and I am having problems getting it to run…… what am I doing wrong? or what should I do so I can get this running?

fake at the end,u can c it because everything else speeds up as well.Including the 200mph birds in the background
wow, the bird in the backround must be going M-10. CHEESE!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Unless you are "allowed" to build your own RC remote/receiver, hacking an existing RC remote will be a pain in the butt. Of course if you are allowed to build from the ground up, you have tons of options.
Oooook. Short answer, is you can't. Long answer is; Each remote car, and remote car radio handset has a crystal in it. The crystal in the remote car, and the handset it came with are identical, producing the same frequency and running your car. However, the cheap remote car radio handset your purchased has a very slightly different crystal, it is still 49mhz, but it may be 49.174 while the one you had before was 49.566. Basically this means that you wont be able to get control of the car with a different handset. However, hobby grade cars have the crystals visibly on the outside of the radio handset. IF this is the case, you can remove the crystal from the handset, and switch it with another. Same with the car, IF ITS HOBBYGRADE you can take the top of, the crystal will be poking out of a small black box, the reciever. IF this is the case, you can swap the crystals around. However if what you've got is two toys cars, im sorry to say it, your stuffed. If you need more info, see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Remote_control_car#Toy-grade_radio_control
Try BestBuy or Radio Shack (if they even still sell things like that).

If it was just an electric toy car, you would increase the voltage the motor is getting and it would go faster. But being remote control, it has some electronics in it that could be damaged by higher voltage.
But there is always a way. Do you know much about electronics? You need to wire in a relay between the motor and the control box. You wire it so that the control box doesn't send power to the motor any more, it just sends a little power to the relay to "trip" it (a relay is just a switch that it turned on by electricity – you can get one at Radio Shack).
Say your car runs on 6 volts. You would hook up some batteries with say, 12 volts, and connect one of the wires to the relay, the other wire to the motor, and then run a wire from the relay to the other motor wire. Now, when you press the button on the remote to make it go, the controller in the car will turn on the relay. The relay will connect the 12-volt power to the motor, and off it goes, twice as fast as before.
You might even consider running it at 18 volts. To do this, get 4 or 6 rechargeable 9-volt batteries. Connect them in series pairs – two batteries to make 18 volts, then two more in series, with this series connected in parallel to the first. The more batteries you have in series, the faster it will go. The more you have in parallel, the longer it will run.
Hope this helps!

Go to a prof. hobbies shop, if they don't have the whole kit they should have the control transmitter and receivers you need.
With a very good sense of imagination..
i would be scared to be the guy that starts it up
first if it has a a starter than put batteries in it
then put the nitro in the vehicle
then try starting it with the starter
(if problem persistce than wiggle the exauhst pipe until exauhst is moving out freely)
if this still does not help than im sorry i cant help
Get a life!! This has to be the worst hobby anyone can think of. Why don’t you get someone to jump-rope as the car (thing) goes round. That wuld be entertaining to watch somebody jump like a GD fool!
you can see the wings on the “flies” around 0:56 the light under the flag starts to blink really fast too, but who knows.
200 MPH eh? Goes well with the 200 MPH birds flying in the background.
that was light speed or i have bad seeing
oh my fucking god its smokeing
OMG!!!!!
