Hi,

I used to own a Petrol Monster Truck that I bought for near £800 afew years back. I only played with this afew times, this was due to the amount of noise it makes and the fact that you can not use the thing in parks and quite roads for some fun!

So I sold this.

I am looking again to purchase something that is fun, and wanted to know should I consider a Nitro Car? Not sure how the Nitro works, but the basic requirements are:

Must be a nice looking motor – though I think you can change the shells etc..
Must be quite
Must be fast


Thanks in advance…

 

If you have had noise issues in the past id be tempted to go down the electric route,
gives you better options to use it and with the Li po batteries and brush-less motors they are more then quick enough.
hth

 

hmm, never thought about electric as i would have thought the batteries would not last..

but is nitro nosy?

 

LOL... "is nitro noisy".... think what a two-stroke motorbike with hardly any exhaust would sound like at 20,000-30,000 rpm...

Yes, nitro is noisy. Probably noisier than petrol. Very high pitched, pretty loud.

As has been said, if you have noise issues the easy answer these days is to go with LiPo electric.

 

What is battery like…whats a Lipo electric?

Can you get a monster truck in electric? What are the downsides to an electric RC?

whats the use time for a electric RC?

 

I have a nitro RC and yeah, it's loud. People seem pretty offended by the noise it makes tbh.

 

Get yourself a Nur Spec. They'll soon forget about the nitro.

 

I've just bought myself a Traxxas E Revo Brushless - google it, you won't be disappointed !
