Does anybody know of a good gas remote controlled car?
I am wanting to buy a gas powered rc car does anybody know of a good and pretty cheap one in the price range of $150 to $200 or so
Look on the HPI, Traxxas, Tamya, Team Losi, Kyosho, Team associated website, but for that price you might not get something very upscale, you might wanna look at used ones in the classifieds for that price range. I Have an HPI RS4 Type3 SS and with the Futaba electronics and controller and the price of purchase back then and the glow plug heater and the gallon of nitro and every other thing. I'm up to about 1000$
If you have never owned a gas powered car before you might wanna check into electric ones. If you go with a good quality brushless motor and a good battery that thing will fly, it's so much less hassle then a gas one too, less cleaning to adjusting all the time, no clogged air filters etc..etc… With the powerful brushless motors available now, gas is not even worth it. Electric is more simple and you might enjoy the experience more.
If you go with a brand new model that does not come with electronics and controller. Look into JR or Futaba, they make excellent products.

The above is just one of many deals that will be coming your way,
especially now that it's the end of the summer.
Good Luck and Enjoy your Toy….( when you find the right one ! )

Electric trucks are fun if you don't have a garage to store your
gas smelling truck and equipment. But you'll need to buy
extra batteries and charge them over quite long periods of time to get max performance. Look into both elec & gas…
