DESCRIPTION
XRC 1/5th Scale Petrol Radio Controlled Car

Nitrotek are proud to announce that we have been appointed the exclusive UK distributors for the latest 1/5th petrol radio controlled cars from XRC Racing. Until now rc cars that run on actual petrol have been very expensive with prices starting at over £700 for a model including all equipment and electronics that made them a very specialist and exclusive product. We are pleased to say that XRC have now changed this and these great models are now available to everyone at realistic prices.

Seems to good to be true right! There are two main factors that have made this possible. Firstly, unlike other manufacturers, XRC make almost all the parts and engine in the same factory. Other factories will buy the engine from one place, the chassis from another etc, and then just put it all together which is a very expensive way of doing it. XRC are traditionally engine manufacturers and now make most of the parts themselves which saves a lot of money that can be passed on to you. The second reason is that due to the price being much lower and therefore sales being much bigger, they can be manufactured and imported in bigger quantities which saves on component and logistics costs.

Unlike nitro radio controlled cars these petrol ones run on a mix of normal unleaded petrol and 2 stroke oil. Both of these are available from any petrol station which makes them more practical and cheaper to run than a nitro model. Mixing the petrol is very easy as included in the package is a mixing bottle. You simply pour in some unleaded petrol up to the marker on the bottle and then top up to the second marker with the 2 stroke oil. This oil is usually found inside petrol stations with the other oils.

If you look at other 1:5 scale petrol cars on the market you will see even though they are more expensive they usually don't include everything you need and you have to go out and buy your own radio equipment, special 1:5 scale steering servo, electronics battery pack and charger. With the XRC package everything you need is included, even a high capacity rechargeable battery pack with UK charger and a tool kit with all the tools needed to maintain the car.


The car is available in red or blue. They also come with a full pack of stickers so you can customize the shell to your own preference.

So Much Power!!!

Stu Wright - 22nd October 2008

So much power, trying to run in an engine when the back end is swaying everywhere. The car is one serious machine, got some sticky rubber on the way to keep it glued to the road. Can't wait to hit the track with it, thanks Nitrotek.

Excelent starting point!!

XRC-1 - 24th September 2008

I have been into R/C my whole life.
I have done it all from racing in California to Flying Helicopters in my back yard. But I never had the time or location for a 1/5 scale car.

I was looking around at some high end cars (HARM) and just couldnt find a...

Chris - 08th July 2008

A lot of fun with very little cash. (Compared to an FG or similar.)
