Electric
1. Use battery packs and electric motors for powering the vehicle.
2. Are quieter and easier to use than rc nitro cars, but don’t quite have the power or speed to match.
3. Off road electric rc cars can achieve speeds of 15 to 30 mph, while on road versions will reach speeds between 20 to 40 mph.
Nitro Cars
1. Run on specially formulated nitro fuel. It's not as combustible as gasoline, but it's still quite flammable. And you'll also smell the exhaust vapors produced by these powerful machines.
2. RC nitro cars can run about 15 minutes on a full tank of fuel. But as long as you keep the nitro gas coming, they can run virtually forever.
3. On road and off road rc nitro cars can reach speeds between 20 to 60 mph -- perhaps even higher as your knowledge and skill level increases.
Require more tuning and maintenance than electric rc cars.
Are recommended for serious or experienced hobbyists.
Take your pick!
