These Nitro Powered Radio Controlled Cars run on a pre-mixed nitro fuel, 20% is generally recommended for beginners, but some manufacturers will recommend higher nitro fuels to get maximum performance from the engine. Model Technics Qwikfire fuel gives great performance, and so we suggest this as standard. Nitro engines employ a glow plug, which must be heated with a `glow start', to make starting easy. These glow starts are run from a 1.2v rechargeable NiCad battery, and are supplied with mains chargers. Most of our cars will require these items in addition to the product, and we can supply a NItro Starter Package at minimal cost.Nitro engines are engineered to high precision, but will require adjustment of the air/fuel mixture screw, or 'needle valve' dependent on some external factors. This can be a challenge for the novice, and although all our Nitro Radio Controlled Cars come supplied with comprehensive instructions, we also carry an excellent Start & Tune DVD, which will teach you all you need to know about running your nitro powered model car. There's nothing like seeing a demonstration. Drive safely! We recommend the fitting of a failsafe device, to prevent these high powered cars running away if radio signal is lost, or receiver batteries run low. These clever little electronic gadgets can be easily installed in your Radio Controlled Car, and are a small price to pay for peace of mind. Read the Antics help sheet before starting.
