Petrol RC Cars

When buying petrol RC cars there is a choice that you have to make. This is an important choice, a choice that will is dictated by what you want from your car. The choice is  to buy an on road, racing petrol RC car, or an off road, go anywhere model. This is not a decision to take lightly. The on-road models are undoubtedly faster, and if you can envisage yourself racing about at high speeds in a car park or dedicated track (if you’re lucky enough to have one nearby) then these would be the ones to go for. They offer quick steering and performance akin to that of a proper race car. For the majority of the hobbyists however, it is the the off road option that has the greatest appeal.

Off road RC cars are literally that; cars that you use off the road. This generally means that they will have decent suspension systems, will be built tough to withstand the odd inevitable crash and hard-wearing tyres. Though they may not match an on road car for shear speed, they are by no means slow. The monster truck pictured can get to 60 mph! It is perhaps the fact that they can get to this speed while going over all manner of hills and bumps that makes them such fun, as well as the reason that they are built tough.

Getting the an off road car opens up a whole world of new opportunities for you. The best place to take an off-road car is to a park or field, preferably with a few hills and plenty of bumps. The bumps are important as they mean that you can speed over them to get some air. This is the fun part, testing the limits of the machine and marveling at the spectacle. What’s more is the landing of said jumps. With a bit of luck you might get your car to tip or flip (something yo definitely wouldn’t want to experience in an actual car) resulting in a spectacular crash. If the build quality of the car is high enough no harm done. Put the car back upright and repeat!

All in all off road RC cars are the all-round option which I would strongly recommend to you. You can use them anywhere, they’re loads of fun, and you can safely do what almost everybody wants to: crash them at high speed. I particular recommend the ShengQi 1/5th Scale Monster Truck. As previously mentioned it can push 60mph and is extremely durable. It is available to buy here.
