New Bright RC in Remote Control Toys(51)

Do RC vehicles have a real motor inside?

Miniature radio-controlled cars and trucks normally contain a brush motor, an electric motor, or a nitro engine. The brush and electric motors require electricity to run; the nitro engine requires fuel containing nitromethane and is a tiny combustion engine like those found in most full-sized cars.

Do nitro RCs need batteries?

Yes, nitro RCs do require batteries just like RCs with electric motors. Though the batteries do not power the vehicle, they are needed in the remote controller and in the receiver mechanism within the car itself.

What do the numbers in brackets mean on RC titles?

The fractions you see next to RC names, like (1/14) for example, tell you the size of the RC compared with its real life version. 1/14 means that the car is one fourteenth the size of the real car. This is done when the model car is an exact or near-exact version of a full-sized brand.
