Nitro Powered RC Cars - Tips for Choosing Your First Gas RC Car
RC (radio controlled) cars, especially the nitro or gas powered RC cars, are becoming increasingly popular. With speeds up to 70 mph, realistic looks, and racing clubs in virtually every large city, it's easy to see why.If you want to join this exciting hobby, there're a few things you should consider before you buy your first nitro-powered RC car. The basic considerations are: size, type, 2 or 4-stroke motor, maintenance, 2 or 4 wheel drive, and ready-to-run (rtr) or kit cars.SizesThe two most popular sizes to choose from are 1/8 and 1/10 scale. 1/10th scale is the industry standard for on-road racers, while 1/8th is more popular for off-road trucks and buggies. The larger 1/8th scale on road car comes standard with a 2 or 3 speed automatic transmission.TypesThe touring and racing cars are are the popular choice for on-road use.
For best performance, they should be run on a smooth surface. Trucks and buggies are the choice if off-road action is what you want. Though not as fast as the touring and racing styles, they are still very impressive and extremely rugged as well. And since a smooth surface is not required, they also have the advantage of being able to run just about anywhere. MotorsNitro powered RC motors come available in the popular 2-stroke or the less conventional 4- stroke versions.
The primary difference is that the 2-stroke motor, much like a weed eater or chain saw, requires a fuel oil mixture. The 4-stroke motor has an oil reservoir and can run on straight fuel. The 2 stroke engine has the advantage of producing higher rpm's (revs up faster) and is more suitable for racing. The 4 stroke engine has more power and torque and is better for offroad use.The most popular 2-stroke motor is the 23cc (cubic centimeter) displacement engine. It's popularity is due to the amazing 2.5 HP of output it produces.
The resulting high speeds and acceleration are what RC racers love.Additionally, motors come with or without a pull start. The ones without a pull start are cheaper, but you'll also need a starter box. Maintenance for Nitro Powered RC CarsMaintenance is a definite requirement of running a nitro powered vehicle. Most hobbyist love tweaking and tuning their vehicles. In addition, you'll need to maintain certain parts such as:
- Clutch
- Differential
- Air Filter
- Header and
- Pull start cord
The 4wd car has the advantage of better traction and handling in turns which makes it a better choice when you're ready to race.Kits or Ready to Run (RTR) Rc Cars Nitro powered rc cars come in kits or ready-to-run right from the box. The primary difference is the whether you want to save time with a RTR car or save money with a kit. However, because of the assembly process, kits better prepare you for required maintenance.If you choose to build an rc car, don't expect to finish in one sitting. To avoid mistakes, familiarize yourself with the instructions first and get your work area prepared. Some of the things you'll need are:
- Small No.
1 and 2 Phillips and flathead screwdrivers
- Soap - as a dry lubricant for tight parts

(ContentDesk) November 1, 2005 -- Car Dealer Marketing announced the launch of The Used Car Sellution", an innovative, proprietary online marketing program for Internet-savvy auto dealers that drives pre-qualified used vehicle buyers directly to the inventory department on a dealer's own web site.
The Used Car Sellution" is being used by Asbury Automotive, the fifth largest mega-dealership group in the country, for its Crown Automotive subsidiary and two of its dealerships in North Carolina and one in Virginia.
The program delivered over 15,000 additional pre-qualified used vehicle buyers to Crown's web site in August and September, which averages around 40,000 visitors a month.

The tempting old cars marts
Only those with discerning eyes may venture into them
They are used and reused and then used again. Cars in India do not die early enough. We hardly hear of any car junk yards in the country. The not-so-old ones as the cheap Indian used cars move from the first-class cities to the second class ones and then onwards.
Their journeys really take them to places.
Buying and selling is a favourite pastime of both rich and those who are sliding up on the economic ladder of their lives. Auto dealers and quite a few of them are in business for the lucre they earn while others make their living from the crooked ways the trade pliers are infamous for.
If you happen to be in an old car mart where only second-hand or several-hands down the line cars are on sale you will find a fish market many times more descent enough to have a stroll through.
I am sure if there are any car...
