Stock Delay

Filed in RC Car News Posted by RC Cars

Stock at Nitrotek was due to arrive on the 19th of Febuary but you may have noticed this has been and gone but the stock is imminent. There are a range of RC Cars which are available so have a look around at Nitrotek for some excellent deals available.

Summer is nearly upon us with the clocks going forward on March 28th so no doubt there will be a frenzy of children (and adults) purchasing a new remote control car for playing out doors. Even where I live, there is often a large electric rc buggy running around between garages which looks like was a Christmas present in 2009.

Either way, PetrolRCCars.co.uk hopes you have a great summer with any model car you buy.

Over the last few weeks I have started talking a little differently about RC Cars and aimed more at the family. I remember as a child having my first electric remote control car after seeing a friend at school with his extreamly powerful rc buggy. At the time kids at school were using their parents cigarette lighter in their car to charge the power supply of the remote control car. Pretty nify when you want to take your model car out at the weekend, so you dont have to worry about running out of juice.

It may take an hour or so to charge but if you are out for the day racing your rc car or at the beach or in the country, then having lunch is a good time to charge the batteries in your rc buggy. Electric rc cars are the best variety to buy the kids when parents look for the next best birthday or Xmas present. The speed of these electric cars is superb with buggies for example, running over diferrent types of terrain.

When kids are used to electric rc cars then can the progress up to Nitro RC Cars where nitro fuel is required. A very noisy model of car but my … they are fast!

I wrote an article the other day and submitted to Ezinearticles on if children should have a Nitro RC Car for themselves without adult supervision.

There are a couple of ways to look at it to make your decision which boil down to safety.

1. Nitro Fuel is a combustable substance and although when in a Nitro model it is more or less safe, you never know if the car may have a fault and catch fire. THis is obviously very dangerous to anyone so worth taking into consideration.

2. THe Nitro fuel as with the above point could spill onto the groud and become slipperly or get onto childrens hands which can be dangerous is it got into the mouth.

3. A Nitro CAr goes extreamly fast and if it was to hit an obstacle, could easily flip over and hit a child.

Nether the less, any sport is dangerous which includes football which most kids all play so it all depends on which way you look at it. If I was a parent, id not want my children playing with RC Cars unless they were the basic electric variety but its a matter of opinion.

Either way, the cars available to buy are very well designed, excellent and safe. Its just down to common sense most of the time so down to the parent but please do be careful. Then again, jumping on a trampoline in the garden is much more dangerous but an every day thing in the UK and many other countries during the summer months.

Eitehr way , have fun and be safe

One of the most popular ranged of RC Cars at Nitrotek are their range of Self build RC Cars which enable both newbies and experienced racers to build their own nitro car. With the packs you can purchase from Nitrotek, you can recieve everything you need to get up and running with the thrill of being able to assemble your own rc car.

We all remmeber being kids and having our parents buy us an airfix model airplane which we spent a Sunday afternoon assembling or maybe a matchstick house if you had a school project of a similar nature. These building projects gave a good feeling of satisfaction which is the same a RC Car hobbyist recieves when building their own nitro racer.

One of the most popular models in the self build range is the Nitro Condor which can also be found fully build but with a different specification. For more information on all of the available options, give Nitrotek a visit today.

Success  they say comes from failure which can be a phrase associated with many things such as making your Nitro RC Car go faster than your competition or maybe even getting out of debt and starting  a website like many people do. The reason PetrolRCCars.co.uk was started was due to buying my brothers a remote control car for Christmas about 3 years ago but also to have a hobby website which also made money. Well the site is now nearly 3 years ago and does make money but the RC Car industry isn’t as lucrative as I originally thought.

Either way, RC Cars are here to stay and I must sya there are a huge amount to choose from and a very competitive market. Nitrotek though I think have the best looking website which satisfies many RC Car fans each day with their excellent range of Nitro Cars. It’s the Nitro side which made them start their company although they did expand into Helicopters and other types of models to. Overall though, if you are looking for a Nitro Model then they are very much recommended.

This is the1/8th scale Nitro Radio Controller Car which has become very popular from Nitrotek in the United Kingdom. The VRX-2 as this model is called has a ideal 360 degree view when you rotate the car on Nitroteks website. With the superb 1/8th scale this is a car that is not for beginners but instead for fans of the rc car industry who have experience of other cars already, be it a lower spec Nitro RC or a high end electric remote control car.

The quality of this car is brilliant with a model packed with features that you will not find on many other Nitro RC Cars in the United Kingdom. With other companies you would probably find that most of the features on this car are at an additional cost from other retailers. These features include a 3 shoe aluminium clutch, tough aluminium parts, front CVD shafts and a GO .21 rear exhaust engine which comes from Taiwan who are known to be one of the top designers in RC Car engines.

As this RC Car is for racing, you will be pleased to hear the car itself comes with extra shock spacers, toe in adjustment blocks and castor adjustment blocks which are used for fine tuning to give extra performance to win that next race against friends or competitions.
