Nitro RC cars buggie or truggie?

hi,
I am looking for a nice durablue RC nitro car I want to make this car go off jumps go off road and on road go on grass ect. So at first I was thinking of getting a truggie but all the videos I looked at they never went off jumps or off road so then I looked at buggies and all the vudies were off road and going off jumps so witch one would be good for going off jumps and on and off road

An on road car is not at all recommended for jumps and any off roading as well. It'll be better for you to get an off road truck with a wide wheel base so that it lands on its wheels easily at the end of a jump. These vehicles can go on road as well but i would advise otherwise as the asphalt would damage the tires meant for off road use.

What nitro RC car or truck should I get?

I'm looking to spending around 300 dollars on a nitro RC vehicle.
What are some good, fast nitro RC cars and trucks out there for cheap?

The nitro rustler from traxxas is a classic. The easy start system is very good and the 2.5 engine is pretty nippy.
Hpi have started shipping their 'nitro bullet ST' which is a great car if you buy the CVJ upgades, which should cost another $60.
If you could be temped to get a 1/8th buggy, the hyper seven is a tried and tested classic. Well built and quick.

For rc nitro cars does a 15 or 18 cxp have more power?

Also if I was planing to buy an off-road buggy would it be better for me to buy 4 wheel drive or 2 wheel drive if I was also planing of driving it on the street. Please put reasons behind your answers!!! Thanks

if your getting a 1/8 scale buggy a .15 or .18 is to small of a engine go with a .21 and up. but if your getting a 1/10 scale buggy a .18 will be more than enough power look at this for proof

electric or nitro rc cars?

I have decided i want to take up rc models as a hobby. I would love to get a nitro car for a first rc car but then im having thoughts on buying an electric one. I know both can be quick, nitro are alot more fun as they are loud and that, yet electric can also be fun and are alot easier to work on. What type shall i get? cheers

That depends on where you'd be planning on using them. If you want to use it in the local park or playing fields, you'd want a buggy or truck.
If you'd only be using it out in the street or in a carpark, you'd be better with a touring car style rc car.

The main difference between nitro and electric is how involved you want to get. Nitro does require a bit more maintenance with adjusting the mixture screws on the carb and using after run and air filter oil and making sure all screws are tight because of the vibrations from the engine…where electric are just plug in the battery and off you go. But straight out of the box, nitro are better. Electric in my opinion end up costing you more with having to buy better battery packs, chargers etc.

Nitro RC cars do they actually use nitro?

i was wondering with nitro rc cars do you actually put nitro in them,if so were would you buy it from and is it costly?

They use a combination of methanol as primary ingredient, nitromethane in various percentages for increased power, and various special lubricants/oils.

How costly depends primarily on the percentage of nitromethane as this is the most expensive ingredient. The average price is between 5 and 15 dollars per QUART, depending on the nitro percentage.

MOST hobby shops that handle the vehicles, (plane, car, boat) also carry the fuel, or it can be bought on-line.

Are nitro RC cars legal in residential areas?

I am looking at getting a new rc car, but i want something i will be able to drive wherever, so i wanted to make sure i could.

It would depend on WHERE you live… some cities and towns HAVE made it illegal to operate them, others have made it so you can only operate them in certain areas.

YOU will want to check YOUR city ordinances, and if you live in an area managed by a home-owners association you'll want to check THEIR rules.

In my old town, ALL RC cars could ONLY be operated in two parks, and ONLY between the hours of 10am and 6pm. Violators faced at $75 dollar fine.

Where I live now (on 25 acres)… you can operate them all winter… but operating ANY small motor like that during summer with the dry dry grass is illegal. You face a $150 fine… and if your car or other object starts a grass-fire… you face fines equal to twice the cost of the fire-department coming out, and are of course liable to any damage caused to someone else's property.

SERIOUSLY… check with YOUR city first. If you named the city, I can pull up their ordinances quickly.
