Boys are always boys. Even if they have already graduated from college, got a good job and had their own children. Very often, girls wonder what they can give their loved one.

And sometimes everything turns out to be very simple: a radio-controlled car can please him much more than any other gift. However, many girls would not mind "steer" such a car. And the choice of them in modern stores is simply huge. And they are all different. We can say that there are as many of them as there are real ones. Moreover, they are completely identical to their prototypes, exactly repeating all the details of the appearance and interior. It's just a little smaller. They differ not only in model, but also in the type of engine, scale, type of chassis.

The most popular models with a scale of one to eight or one to ten. Although there are smaller options: one to twenty-four, for example. And here is the machineradio control with a scale of one to five - this is almost a full-fledged racing model. Between the "fives", as they are also called, real competitions are held, where every drive lover can feel like an experienced racer.

The type of engine is no less important for the performance of a miracle car. RC cars with internal combustion engines are different from their counterparts with electric motors. Each species is good under certain conditions and for certain purposes. Electric options are not as heavy, accelerate faster and are not afraid of any changes in the weather, whether it be rain or snow. However, as quickly as they pick up speed, they overheat just as quickly. Therefore, high speeds for a long period of time are contraindicated for them. Therefore, models with an internal combustion engine are most suitable for intense competitions. They require a special fuel to perform well, although some run just fine on gasoline. RC petrol cars last much longer and allow their pilot to make very fine adjustments.

Types of radio-controlled cars

• Road car.
• RC car used for drifting.
• SUV.
• Trophy model.
• Children's play model.

The radio-controlled road car, as the name suggests, is designed to drive exclusively on a flat surface. Driftingcan be carried out on an asph alt, concrete or carpet track both indoors and outdoors. Mostly cars with an electric engine are used here, since the speeds are not too high, and there is less noise compared to an internal combustion engine.

Off-road vehicles fully justify their name and do not let their "senior comrades" down. They calmly move over rough terrain, easily overcome obstacles and can even jump. High speed is not a hindrance for them. Trophy cars, on the other hand, prefer a slower pace. Therefore, they are chosen when passing through rough terrain does not require high speed.

Well, the radio-controlled car for children is the most popular type, which does not even need to be described. After all, any boy knows absolutely everything about his “vehicle”.
