Whats the difference between brushed and brushless?

 

Any noticable differences in Electric and Nitro?

 

Is there any that would be good in a field?

 

i.e for me to get the dog to chase lmao.

 

I know they can be expensive, but I think its worth it :D

MarkDerby is your man for that :thumbup1:

hes only asking as i spam'd his parcel with my biz card .. lol

 

 

Brushed elec ... 20mph old hat tech these days £100>200

brushless elec 35>100+mph need decent battery's to get the performance but

great if u can afford it £200>1200

 

charge plug and play 10>15min avg play time

 

Nitro ... been around for years High performance diesel engine 30>50mph depends on brand/car

can be little fuss to start but its normaly down to the person using it 15min avg run play time per tank

£250>600

 

Petrol .. two stroke 23>32cc ... very expensive up to 600> 1600 ... 35mph avg

run time per tank 45mins

Nowt wrong with that mate, its such a shame that Model shops are so few in numbers now :( I used to spend hours as a kid looking at the models in my local shop in Melton Mowbray, long gone now of course. Keep up the good work.

ok, so with something like this:

 

http://derbymodelshop.co.uk/shop/article_FTX5532/FTX-Vantage-1_10-4WD-Brushless-Buggy-RTR.html?sessid=TQztftBku6FPb6DMGvmrKiwxuhjLQxUYx0Q9OkhHmcocDXScORGXUGUjD6AXeuM5&shop_param=cid%3D128%26aid%3DFTX5532%26

 

What sort of speeds would that model reach? Whats charge time, and how much would it be for a couple of spare battries, so I dont run dead after just 15 mins?

I remember years ago I had a Yamaha RZV500 (jap import RD500YPVS) that had a v-4 two stroke engine and had a drag race across a big carpark against a nitro rc car.......and the bloody car won!, despite the Yam having a top whack of approx 150mph it couldnt match the tiddly little nitro on acceleration.

 

I had a Tamiya 1/10th Calibra DTM with 4 wheel drive (electric,TA-02 chassis) and was nowhere near as quick as nitro,i think a dog would easily catch it and rip the body to bits! :)

ditto.

 

Were all kids at heart, remote control cars, trainsets etc... all cool at any age lol

So true mate. Building flying model planes is my bag though. From vintage rubber powered all the way up to R/C, love them all.

the nitro engine still holds its own against the new brushless stuff ... the new engines that keep coming out Rev up to 50k .. yep 50,000 rpm

the only little problem there is the engine would cost 300+ for it ... where as most engines in the cars are arounf 32>38krpm

 

 

ryan

that buggy does a good 40mph off road

comes with 7.4v lipo but would take a bigger 11.1v lipo and take the speed up to 60+

trust me its bloody fast!! top speed comes in around 2sec

lipo batt to replace £36avg

charger in box is ok but not that fast .. u looking around 2.5hrs per charge ...

new charger £50 will bring charge time down to 30>40mins per charge

sounds good, misses at work, will speak to her when she gets home, I think would need bigger battery as I have a husky and its quick, we normally "walk" him on the farm track, with a lead out the window at 20mph+ he can go for hours, he could easily do over 30mph constant, but I darent go that quick with him beside the car :S

 

He chases anything that moves, hence the idea of the buggy.

Sounds like your about to buy a every expensive chew toy.

Mark you wanna do a trade on zed parts lol I could be tempted to resurect my old hobby

Ive still got that calibra in loft lol

why what u thinking ryan

i still have some old bits in the loft ,,savage 25 , mardave apache ,tamiya hornet even have lima train sets from late 70s and of course box full of scalextric ,and star wars ships ,im still a big kid and love it

I have a nitro truggy which I purchased off of mark, awesome bit of kit and very fast, a 3cc engine and sounds the nuts when screaming them off at over 30k rpm.

I recently got an rc car again after not having one for years, the most interesting thing about it though, it's fwd!!

 

The very reason I bought it, I can be a j turning, wheel spinning, reverse donuting rc chav!! :D

 

Not bad though for 85 quid, it's a tamiya one....

 

Ryan, if you can settle for on concrete this one of mine whips the girlfriends westy round the front at ours ;)

Sold mine for silly money on ebay, the bids went mental!.
