Electric RC’s

Electric RC cars and trucks are generally considered best for beginners, since even if you choose to build your own car,
they tend to be simpler and easier than nitro cars. They’re also a great deal quieter and run much cleaner, meaning you’re less restricted by where you can run them.
In terms of speed and power, they do have a great deal of pickup, though not as much as the nitro cars.

Electric RC cars use rechargeable
battery packs to power their motor and steering, which are usually recharged from a 12-volt car battery or wall socket.
Batteries run for about 5-10 minutes, depending on the type of engine your car has,
and charging the battery usually takes 15-30 minutes. Because of this, it is strongly recommended
you have at least two battery packs, to allow for quick replacement of the battery.
This means your car can keep running while the other battery is recharging, giving the car more overall running time.

At first glance, getting started with an electric RC car can be much less expensive than a nitro vehicle.
But there are other costs to consider as well, such as additional battery packs, a battery charger
and other accessories that will add to the cost, making it closer to the price of a nitro car in the long run.
Of course, this cost also depends on what kind of car you end up purchasing and what kind of battery pack it requires,
as well as how often you run the car and the quality of the batteries you get.
Though the initial outlay of cash can be steep, but you’ll want to get quality battery packs and a good charger to save replacing cheaper batteries.

The main reason electric RC’s are said to be easier than nitro is in the amount of maintenance and tuning their engines require.
Though the care,maintenance and cost of battery packs is steep,
it is still less trouble for the new driver than the air filters, tuning, fueling and various other engine parts that require attention on a nitro car. Instead, careful conditioning and pr
