Where can I find information on rc cars?

Danny

I dont know anything about the difference between nitro rcs and regular... I was looking for a site that could explain the differences and what i would need when purchasing one. I looked at a site that showed the different rcs and one of them had nitro rcs and then another had nitro rcs packaged deals, whats the difference. THank you, I hope I wasn't too confusing.

Answer
Basically there are 3 types of hobby spec RC cars; electric, nitro and petrol.
Don't think the electric ones are the toy ones people get at Christmas when they're kids, they're not. Nitro RC cars are the ones with the little screaming engines, that only run on special fuel and not petrol. Then there are petrol powered RC cars which are huge and hugely expensive.

Different sites will sell batteries and fuel with the cars, called a package deal, others just sell the cars and you have to buy the fuel and batteries separately.

Answer
Go with the electric - The up front cost might be higher but as long as you can charge your batteries you can run your car. If you run out of fuel you are dead until you get more. At $16.00 per gallon it is very spendy. LiPo batteries have the highest energy density but require special care in charging and discharging. A good ESC is a must - properly sized for the expected current draw. Don't skimp on the charger unit either.

What's the best electric car?

Evan

So I'm 13, and I want to know what the best electric car is today (price doesn't matter) so I can buy it in three years when I'm old enough and the price goes down. I want something sexy, has room. Lots of range and power. Thanks a lot!

Answer
Good luck finding that kid. Electric cars are terrible, you'll end up breaking down in the middle of nowhere with no electric plug-in point, You'll be at plug-in points for hours.

Also none of them are 'Sexy', Not many that are 'Sexy' have room, Range pff and Power...

First of all the Tesla Roadster would be a port of call, but it won't go down. Electric cars won't go down in price until its become more common which will be quite a while. A Nissan Leaf with around 100 horsepower is 30,000 pound.

Its not worth getting an electric car, plus the insurance and cost of one will be very high for when you're old enough. What you want is a dream, sorry to crush it.

What percent of america has an electric car?

d in black

please help me, its for my paper in lang arts. lol

Answer
1 percent
I still think that people are so ignorant when it comes to electric
cars they only think of one way to make them run and that's batteries.
Its like you lost your mind and have no innovated ability to think of
more than one source of power. Every year people spend millions of
dollars to go to the gym they hop on bikes and treadmills and
ellipticals and pedal away for hours and then pay their gym for it.
Then they hop in their car and pay gas to ride home. The answer was
right in front of your face when you watched the Flintstones as a kid.
Do remember the car on the Flintstones. Hmm, not so stupid now is it?
Do remember how boats got across the ocean? Have you ever held your
hand outside the window and felt the power of the wind resistance
against your hand? The faster you went the more force you felt
pushing against your hand right. Have you noticed that the quality of
solar powered panel technology has increased tremendously in the last
twenty years. The quality of of generators and electric engines is
also there. Our government has manged to keep all of this from you
because they believe you are all ignorant and set in your ways. They
could make cars that run with out wheels but our government would
never allow it to be mass produced. If you had the means to build a
car that had electric generators that produced electricity via wind
power, Human power "recumbent bike pedals", Solar power and maybe some
lithium batteries you would have a car that would go thousands of
miles without ever needing to be charged or fueled.
But will this ever be allowed. Its amazing that china and japan have
magnetic trains that never touch the track they actually float be we
never use that technology. Its no wonder they do not put any emphasis
on science. They want us to remain ignorant and in the dark. They want
you to keep forking all the billions of dollars in tax revenue. They
want the price of fuel to sky rocket because most of them own the
stock. The only way to overcome the greed is to take matters into our
own hands and break the grip of Fuel mongrels from ourselves by building
our own fuel free cars. I just showed you the way. Now all you have
to do is " Just Do It!"
My method overcomes the perpetual energy law crap because you get extra energy, Via Human power and solar power! The sun is the source of unlimited free power and so what if you have to pedal your car for it to go long distances. I just saved you from getting fat as hell.
