RC cars are cracking fun – I’ve had a few in the past, and currently have a traxxas revo 3.3 nitro truck.
It’s mental, loud, and fast!
However, in hindsight, I would say that if you were to be starting afresh, I would got electric brushless.
Just as fast, less faff, quiet etc etc.
Yes, technically you can run nitro all day, just topping up the tank, but tbh something inevitably breaks after 20-30 minutes anyway…. It costs about £10 in ‘repairs’ each run!
Trucks are fast and fun, but with kids around, I’d really look at electric crawlers or scale trucks – they seem like great fun,and can be used indoors…
