1/10 scale Stadium trucks: Nitro stadium trucks appear identical to electric stadium trucks, but use a .12 cubic-inch displacement engine for power instead of an electric motor. They're good for racing or play, and average about 30mph for top speed. For use on- or off-road.
1/10 scale Touring cars: nitro tourers may use .12 or .15 powerplants, and can be very fast indeed—up to 55mph. As with electric tourers, nitro tourers feature 4WD and realistic body lines. For on-road use only.
1/8 scale Monster trucks: These giants feature large .21 engines that make a lot of horsepower. As a result, nitro monsters are fast (about 40mph) and can plow over or through just about anything! For use on- or off-road. 1/8 scale Buggies: Like the other 1/8 scale machines, these vehicles are powered by .21 engines. Buggies can go just about anywhere, are very tough, and top out close to 60mph. For use on- or off-road.
1/8 scale On-road cars: The cutting edge of RC performance! Top speeds of the .21-powered cars approach 80mph, and shifting 2- or 3-speed transmissions are standard. Foam tires provide super grip, but wear quickly, and these machines are strictly for smooth road courses—not for the inexperienced.
to be honest cookie....i can guess you are going to be a complete nutter like me and Cornelius if you buy a nitro car/truck.
I would buy a on/off road truck.........something like a Savage that i have, as it can handle virtually anything you throw at it.
it has a top speed out of the box @ 60kmh approx 40 to 45 mph on 25% nitro mix fuel. I have hammered my Savage and it just keeps coming back for more......have a good think mate, as it can get costly if you keep smashing you car/truck up

Looks cool.
Not sure I am good enough to be racing on a track with other people yet though!
Wouldn't want to crash into some super RC car worth thousands and smash it up!
I think I will stick to parks and carparks for now!

Guys please don't encourage Wilf to do this, as he is slacking with the house work and dinner, lol.
No on a serious note, its been good for the boys and Wilf as they are having more father, son time together which is great for them.
