Electric or Nitro?

This is one of the most important questions that most beginners over look.

Nitro powered cars are generally a lot faster than electric cars and can sometimes require more driving skill to control. The downside to Nitro models is there is alot of maintenance required because of the engine. You will need to be prepared to learn and understand the model and mechanics of basic hobby engines. If you have patience and are looking for a something that needs more than just simply charging then Nitro is the way to go.

Electric powered cars are much simpler and require less maintenance than nitro. You can simply charge the batteries and run the car. Very little adjustments are needed. Recommended for beginners who just want to get the model out and use it straight away or if you have restrictions on where you can use the car then electric cars make no noise or pollution.

We strongly recommend you read our help & advice section before buying or using a model car.
