i recently crashed my nitro rc car into a friends and have noticed that i have cracked the exaust i was wondering if this will afect the engine in terms of power but mainly if running it like this will damage the engine at all

It won't damage the engine but it will make it noisier (as if they are not noisy enough already!)

How do I know if my rc nitro car (road) can drift?

Allan — Sat, 31 Dec 2011 09:44:11 +0000

I have gotten an rc nitro car a couple of years ago it is stock no work done to it. I just want to know if my rc car can drift if the right drifting tires are on it.
I am not sure of all of the specs, all answers appreciated!!!
it was a few years ago I bought it.
the manual says: o.s 12,15,18 cv-ex series if that helps

Brand? Model? Power?
Drifting is sliding sideways while going around a turn.
Therefore, to drift, you have to have enough space and low enough friction so you can break the wheels free to start the sliding.
In the extreme, on a large smooth surface with hard tires, you could drift any car (see also driving on ice or using a water skid pad) although it would be extremely difficult to drive in the ordinary way.

what is a good nitro rc car to buy for a begginer?

Allan — Wed, 30 Nov 2011 08:54:15 +0000

im a begginer at driving rc cars and i would like to know which nitro rc car would be the best to get?

Conway is right, Traxxas is an outstanding brand! PLUS, the electronics are waterproof. So if you are running in the rain or have snow in the winter, your RC is protected. If you want a quality RC, you should stick with the brand of Traxxas, HPI, Associated, Tamiya, Losi or Kyosho. Stay away from Walmart and Radio Shack RCs. They are pretty much junk. The brands I mentioned are going to cost some money but are well worth it. One of my first RCs was the Traxxas T Maxx. It's a monster truck and will go anywhere. Check out www.towerhobbies.com and search each of the names I gave you. If you see something you like, do a YouTube search and watch some videos. This will give you an idea of how the RC runs before you buy it. Again, they are expensive but anything else is just junk and going to break. Hope this helps and enjoy the hobby!

Why does my nitro rc car blast off every time i put it on the ground?

Allan — Mon, 28 Nov 2011 05:43:14 +0000

I just got rc nitro car and every time i put it on the ground it takes off without throttle

MOST do NOT have a clutch assembly.
IF it is running, it will turn the wheels, and therefore it will move.
How fast depends on the throttle, or the linkage is not correctly set.

http://www.xnitrorc.co.uk - rc big air jump compilation 2011

This week was a little different than most Richard, Steve and Dave went racing at a nearby track and then up to bramcote later on in the day . So there wasn't much footage of the cars this weekend. The intention was to record at the track but we were too busy repairing our cars during races we didnt have enough time.

Instead we have put together a compilation of the huge big air jumps we have done this year.

Enjoy the video!
