Micro Radio Control Cars (Part 2)
Kyosho Mini Z Street racers and Kyosho Mini Z Formula 1 are like real racers. All the electronics components in them are pre-installed. They also have many clubs all across the globe. This makes these models very popular. Their bodies have surprising details and cool parts that are easily available. They are approximately six inches in length.
HPI Micro RS4 is approximately nine inches in the length. It is lot bigger and more real. Therefore it tends to be more expensive. Further, its radio and electronics have to be separately purchased.
Micro remote control cars have one advantage of not having a longer down time with batteries as compared over other bigger models. If you charge your batteries multiple times then they give a longer run. This does not mean doing the ritual ten-fifteen times but two or three times is sufficient. Most of the micro remote control cars come with NiCad batteries but it is better to go with NiMAH batteries as they don’t seem to have memory problems that typically plague the NiCad batteries. Moreover, they also accept multi-charging better. This is the reason that micro remote control cars get a longer run time.
