| significant, Nitro RC cars cost more to purchase than | | | | your need is a glow start and fuel, thats it and the |
| electric models. | | | | Condor buggie is a popular model with great features |
| With a Nitro RC you'll be paying for Nitro fuel, batteries | | | | and specifications. The PRO version has a 2 speed |

| The speed of Nitro RCs is crazy with speeds of 70 | | | | RCs as no fuel to add and empty after each run plus |

| the power of Nitro can be overwhelming and difficult | | | | Brushed and Brushless |
| to control if inexperienced, the best way is to practice | | | | Basically brushless is much quicker and can handle |
| first because if you was to hit a kerb or rock at speed | | | | more voltage than a brushed motor, this is because |
| then the RC vehicle would break or destroy part of it, I | | | | there are no brushes so a brushless motor produces |
| hear this all the time so take note. But with a little time | | | | less heat so unlikely to burn out as well. |
| and skill it won't be long before you become a pro. | | | | Brushless is more common now and to get good |
| Nitro RCs are awesome fun and faster than electric | | | | performance and a fast electric RC car then brushless |
