the bigger the mhz number the longer the battery lasts and the more power you will get

There are only a small set of "public" frequencies that can be used for all wireless devices including remote control vehicles, telephones, wireless networks, and other equipment. These public domain frequencies must all coexist in the same environments, so you will generally find that one device uses one set of frequencies while other devices uses a slightly different set.

It is quite common to see some completely different devices using the same frequencies because the manfucaturer didn't really have much of a choice. This directly limits the frequencies that any particular product can use.

You might look for some wireless devices that use similiar frequencies but have different channels. I doubt you'll find remote control vehicles that use different channels, but you might. They'd probably cost more though because they'd need more electronics inside to let you select which channel each one was on.

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.

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

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
