Remote control cars are considered toys for big boys. But the truth is, kids and adults from both sexes can enjoy the thrill of controlling a mini-machine with much power like a nitro remote-control car. Any RC car enthusiast can choose among a wide array of car models, from Ferraris to Lamborghinis and Porsches.
Nitro RC cars are different from ordinary RC cars in that they are built for speed of more than 75 mph. Therefore, these cars are perfect for racing indoors and especially great for racing outdoors. However, because of the speed, it is not an RC car designed for beginners. Only experienced racers will enjoy this type of RC car.
Remote control cars, when delivered, come assembled and are ready to use. They are usually electrically-powered but there are also those that are gas-powered, like the nitro RC cars that are run on nitro methane gas.
Nitro RC cars have many intricate parts that are seen in real cars. Some parts include air filters to prevent the entry of dirt in the engine, gears that transfer power from the engine to the car’s transmission, and carburetor adjustment screws to control the idling speed. It also comes with a pull start mechanism just like the ones found in lawn mowers. There are many other parts that make up the complex design of a nitro RC car that are too many to mention.
The enjoyment of the nitro RC car comes in the ability of the user to do precise movements with the aid of the remote control. The steering of the car can be done gently or aggressively, depending on the call of the situation. Acceleration can, likewise, be controlled. Going from zero speed to full-speed can be done with the remote control just like in real race cars in a matter of seconds.
But of course, as it is with all kinds of machines, wear and tear can take its toll on nitro RC cars. Errors and problems may occur anytime before, during and after its run. Don’t forget that with great speed may come many damages to your RC car. You and you alone will know if something has gone bad just by looking at the way it runs. Make sure, at all times, that you double-check your car before hitting the tracks especially with your nitro RC car.
The most important thing to check on would be the engine. If the car suddenly stops at mid-run, there could be a problem with the engine. You may have to replace the piston sleeve of your engine. Usually, the changing of type of fuel can have a negative effect on the general performance of your car. Therefore, it is imperative that you have a good observation of changes in smoke and engine sound.
When buying the fuel for your car, make sure you buy the fuel especially for RC cars.
Fuel for nitro RC cars is a combination of methyl alcohol, lubricants and nitro methane.
More nitro content in the fuel gives the car more power. These cars are usually more expensive. A good start would be 10% nitro. More advanced users can do well with 20% nitro.
Having some background on nitro RC cars is a must for nitro RC car owners. You should be aware of the power this little machine can generate and how it does that. Trouble shooting will not be possible if you do not know anything about the parts and their functions. If I were you, read more about this special power remote control car.

wow, the bird in the backround must be going M-10. CHEESE!!!!!!!!!!!!!
fake at the end,u can c it because everything else speeds up as well.Including the 200mph birds in the background
check the fuel filter and glow plug also make sure you don't have an air leak. also check the needle settings
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
Well, my nitro sport uses a .15, and gets about 40 mph absolute max. Reliability i couldnt say, it looks fairly bargain bucket, so quite a lot of plastic. Google some reviews. As to the third question, that depends on a whole load of things. Like, how rich your running it, how often a week you use the car etc. A Gallon should last a fair while.
I don't know where you live in S.C. but try this link,

i would be scared to be the guy that starts it up
Use 20% nitro
If ur not sure go with 15% but I use 20% for my cars.
Well I may be able to tell you the make of the car if you can email me a picture of it. As for parts, I have been ordering off of towerhobbies.com for my nitro RCs but you may have to use a different site depending on the car you have.
200 MPH eh? Goes well with the 200 MPH birds flying in the background.
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!

They're not close, but I most reccomend them, for they specialize in Nitro rc cars.
It's better to order online.

Also not so close, but they're good for nitro rc cars.
OMG!!!!!
4wd is much better for off road because the steering traction of the front wheels bite in for turning, and makes it handle better. 2wd tends to spin the rear tires and makes turning and cornering more difficult because it will slide sideways and spin out easier. With practice, you can do well though. I'm not sure whats available in U.K., but I am fond of Traxxas and HPI as these are top quality machines. Never buy a nitro with a pull start, it's only trouble. Great hobby and good luck to you !!
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.
oh my fucking god its smokeing
I own and like the 'traxxas nitro sport' which is a 1/10th stadium truck.
Better brands include traxxas, hpi, associated, thundertiger.
Google it rly, check out the forums.
