The term RC means remote control or radio control. Hobby remote controlled cars may use radio equipment for more “proportional” control. With the extra control, you can steer the car at the speed you want more accurately.
RC cars can be powered by two options: an electric motor or a gas engine. A RC car powered by gas engine is called gas RC car.

Both electric RC car and gas RC car are good choice for beginners. But gas RC car are little bit difficult to control thus need more skills. As a result, more beginners will likely start with electric RC cars than gas RC cars. While the quality of the cars has been improving over the years, good news is the cars are getting cheaper over time

Nitro fuelled RC cars are also offered by many of the RC car brands and providers. As competitive RC racing becomes more popular there is a higher demand for the fastest RC cars. Nitro RC cars leaves more room for customization, and you’ll be able to order more types or RC car parts for Nitro RC cars. This is clearly another advantage of Nitro RC cars over other types of RC cars.
