Help answer the question about gas remote control cars
My 10 yr old son would like a gas powered remote control car.?What is it with these cars. They are so expensive. I would like to get him one but not spend more then $150 or so. I would like an off/on road vehicle that's a smart buy. I have looked on EBAY and online stores. Styles & prices vary widely. Is there something I should be looking for specifically? Should I buy used or definitely new?

you are killing your car and your engine man
jon is dat the beast
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.
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
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.
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:

airsoft much more fun its being in war just with out the deaths
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.
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
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.
