RC (Remote Control) Cars are self propelled cars that are controlled by a person with a special transmitter called a remote. The remote control cars are either powered by an electric motor, or a nitro powered. Nitro is short for nitromethane, the fuel that runs a gas powered car. The cars come in many different forms, from on and off road, to grip driving and drifting. The cars are used either recreational or used in competitions. RC car racing is a great hobby for those with a love for cars.
