How to Buy a Nitro Car (Part 1)

Nitro cars look cool. It’s a pride to own one and looks great on road and off road. But they do cost a lost as well. Well, in order not to land up with a piece of crap or spend way too much on a simple model, some tips should be kept in mind.

For a beginner stadium trucks or monster trucks can be great fun. But monster trucks are not as fast as stadium trucks. Nitro Stadium trucks nail down to 50-60 mph and can take huge jumps but tear up some asphalt. Buggies are also pretty much like stadium trucks. HPI MT2 18SS seems to be a pretty good truck. If you’ve never had a high powered nitro or electric car before, you might want to start with a 4wd car. They’re much easier to control.

HPI kits are easy to use and readily available. They are fairly popular too. Another plus point for the same is help for them is also readily available. With an RTR kit you get a decent radio and the car for a decent price. It is always advisable to find a manufacturer that has good following. It leads you to find parts, hop ups, technical advice, etc easily available. Parts for HPI kits are also readily available.

While buying kits there might some other things that need to be bought along with the kit or separately. Most of the time, the kits come with a car and a motor only. Some more advanced models come without motor at all. The RTR kits usually come with a radio and actually do not require much building up. They are like 97% completely built.
