Radio Controlled Toys

I'm 14 and I look forward to do in this hobby im entering competitions and want a fast car Rc but do not know what to look for spending about $ 100 to $ 200 if Please respond Thank you. I was so happy to find this – Nitro has traditionally been for those who want to do things very seriously. They take the time they take the money, they take maintenance. For example, I race my 1/8th rallycross buggy every week. For race day, which I will use the car maybe two hours, I will have to spend at least two hours of cleaning, oiling and secure, at least. Much more if its muddy. Nitro is also quite expensive. For example, your good 1/8th Nitro Buggy may cost $ 250, plus $ 15 for a failsafe, plus $ 25 – $ 35 per month in fuel, depending on how your car is listening, the fuel and weather conditions. It is not inevitable parts you'l need to buy. Point being, nitro is certainly the amateur side of things. As with electricity, there are really two types of electric now, and brushless. An electric toothbrush can cost perhaps $ 100 RTR (RTR = ready) and perhaps $ 30 for a good charger and $ 25 for a decent battery. They are the slowest cars rc, however, I run an electric brushed in the class of '2 wheel drive 1/10th and routinely get around faster than thieves nitro, etc. Should not be brushed firestorms rejected because it is old hat, it's cheap to run / spare parts and a good laugh. Obviously, you will never follow a good driver in a nitro in a way, but they are a very good platform first learn the basics of driving, and decide weather this is indeed the hobby for you. (I just bought kit 'macnum "the Ansmann, this with the" madrat' are really very good for the price they charge, available in kit or RTR, Kit will probably teach you more about the long term. ) Finally brushless. Brushless motors are relatively new to the scene, and are actually quite huge, IMHO. Brushless motors are about 95% efficiency, compared to brushed motors around 45%. This means they can grow much faster and face much more common before the heat becomes too much of a problem. Brushless is as fast as nitro, although some will disagree, and has a very distinct style of driving. However, the platforms brushless and Li poly that power them are also expensive, not more, than nitro. The last thing I will add, if you will, is that the economy here is a false economy. Dear CR pause, pause, and then probably break again. Get the best you can, or save up a little more cash, it will save you time and money in the long term. Check, HPI Traxxas Losi Team Associated Thunder Tiger Ansmann brands are worth mentioning.
