More and more people are entering into the exciting world of remote control racing. Today it is very easy for those who want to become RC racers to get started with RC cars or trucks. The RC cars of today are extremely high-performance machines loaded with powerful, sophisticated engineering. RC Racing can be as simple as kids fooling around in the parking lot or as sophisticated as the professional races organized by the IFMAR Worlds Championship. But beware - it can be very addictive!

One of the most popular types of R/C cars is the Off-Road Buggy. The Off-Road Buggy with its Big tires with "knobby" spikes, it's full-travel suspension parts and a high ground clearance hauls the off-roader to almost anywhere. Most RC Buggies are 2WD or 4WD and they can reach speeds as high as 40-45 mph.

The On-Road cars have lower ground clearances, slicks tires, aerodynamic bodies, and are capable of higher speeds. A miniature engine that burns a special glow fuel powers the Nitro cars. Some of these cars can reach speeds of over 75 miles mph. The Electric cars use rechargeable NICd battery packs for power. They are able to stay running ten minutes, can be charged up in fifteen minutes, ready to race in no time. Many people who enjoy the hobby of racing these miniature power-houses also like to build them. Nitro Toyz offers kits that you can use to build the cars and trucks of your choice. You can take great pride in putting together your RC Kit and racing it.

For many of us who do not have much time but still like to race RC vehicles, there are many pre-built or Ready to Run cars on the market. The RTR models let you start driving just as soon as you open up the box. Most RTR vehicles come with a power plant and radio system already installed.
