Remote control toys start entering the slightly professional player when we start comparing electric with nitro or gas remote control toys. Gas engines are big and as a result the toy let us say a gas powered RC truck becomes very large sized.

Electric RC cars whether brushed or brushless are easy to run and easy to maintain. Once we enter the gas and nitro RC trucks we are in big time. In the gas powered RC trucks we can have a glow engine which requires nitro methane or a normal engine using simple gasoline. Also the nitro engine is water cooled.

The choice of power depends upon your prowess with the toys and also whether they are to be operated inside or outside. Electric RC cars can be easily operated indoors on good tracks. Nitro RC trucks are very powerful and can be used only outside because of the toxic exhaust fumes. Similarly the Gas powered RC trucks can only be used in the outdoors. So before deciding upon your selection of remote control toys, whether electric RC cars, nitro RC trucks or gas powered RC trucks one should have a look at the budget, the playing field and the expertise of the buyer.
