Talking about radio control cars today. Generally there's two types. You have your battery operated and your nitro operated car. The biggest difference between the two. Battery operated, simple, easy to use, pretty much instant to get started with it. You get a battery, charge it up, put it in the car, and you're playing. Limited run time is your biggest disadvantage to the electric cars. The nitro car is much more popular, more complicated, but they're the cooler of the two. They've got actual motors in them, they run off of nitro methane. A blend of nitro methane, ethanol, synthetic Castrol based oils. What's good about them is that you do not have the limitation of runtime. Fire them up before it runs out of gas, bring it back in, fill it up, keep right on running. They make cool sounds, they're just a whole lot more fun. Nitro?s are our largest sellers by far. You see more of them on the race track than anywhere else.
