RC Nitro Speedboats

Things to keep in mind before going in for RC Nitro Speedboats!

While RC Nitro Speedboats are easily the number one choice for all RC Hobby patrons, there are actually a number of aspects that need to be kept in mind before going in for them. In this article, we look at some of those aspects pertaining to RC Nitro Speedboats. By reading through these pointers, you would have a good idea in terms of what to expect when it comes to RC Nitro Speedboats as a whole.

Firstly, while it is a common assumption (which is true to a large extent) that RC Nitro Speedboats are the fastest RC Boats around, it would be a mistake to presume that RC Nitro Speedboats hold an absolute monopoly on the speed front. Today, gasoline and electric , HPI RC Cars versions of these RC Nitro Speedboats have in fact managed to pretty much match up with the latter, on the agility aspect as well. So, if speed is important for you, but at the same time may not be the most important factor, then you might want to look at other RC boats based on different fuel systems as well.

In the case of RC Nitro Speedboats you need to keep the cost aspect in mind as well. Remember that RC Nitro Speedboats run on nitro fuel which is a very special blend of nitro, methanol and lubricating oil. This is a fuel that has been especially created and designed for RC Nitro Speedboats as well as other kinds of nitro fuel based RC vehicles. Given the limited number of vehicle types that run on this fuel, it should come as no surprise that the cost of this fuel is reasonably high. In summation, you need to bear in mind the additional cost of fuel, on an ongoing basis, over and above the cost of the vehicle itself.

The cost aspect mentioned above increases incrementally when we consider the fact that RC Nitro Speedboats tend to run reasonably short distances before having to refuel. In other words, these are essentially fuel inefficient vehicles. So not only will you be spending a lot on fuel, you will quite likely be doing so on a frequent basis.

At the same time, when we compare with gasoline based RC speedboats, the cost of acquisition of these boats is far greater than that of RC Nitro Speedboats. So effectively, the higher cost of fuel in the case of RC Nitro Speedboats is offset to a large extent by the much lower cost of their acquisition, often at around $400 as against that of gasoline based RC speedboats which are likely to cost upwards of $1,000.

In summation, if you are looking to enter the exciting world of RC speed racing with a bang, then you would perhaps be best off doing so with RC Nitro Speedboats!
