The first thing everyone wants to know when buying a radio controlled car: which are the fastest RC cars? If you are looking for a long-distance radio controlled racing car, gas models are known to keep up the speed for a longer amount of time. Nitro cars are great for any racing, drag or endurance. In general terms, 1/8 scale on-road cars or dragsters will make the best racers; able to run at top speeds of 70 miles per hour and over. The Traxxas Nitro 4-tec, or Team Associated's Nitro TC3 are one of the fastest models available going over 75 miles per hour.

One of the fastest cars recorded topped out at 111 miles per hour - these things are fast! Cliff Lett modified his RC10 L3O in order to achieve that amazing speed in 2001, certified by Guinness World Records. You'll need to think about which cars handle the best in racing conditions, so that you can practice drifting with ease and precision. Drifting is an important element in racing; the fastest nitro drivers will all have this skill down perfectly. If you want to be the fastest nitro racer, learn about drifting!

These are some good tips for making your racing career more successful (if you want to break some records with the fastest nitro, your car may well need some modifications!):

Use a motor with less than 12 turns Increase the size of the motor pinion gear Use a brushless motor Use high quality racing batteries Pick a car with a rounded shape Use special drifting tires

Always remember to play around and get to know your radio controlled cars before attempting top speeds and drag racing. Tiny details will change the speed, and you will only realize what these are after a lot of racing with your car. No product comes with modification recommendations, but it may be best for your radio controlled racing career. Just be careful!
