Radio-controlled cars, or RC cars for short, [1] are miniature vehicles (cars, vans, buses, buggies, etc.) controlled via radio. Nitro powered models use glow plug engines, small internal combustion engines fuelled by a special mixture of nitromethane , methanol , and oil (in most cases a blend of castor oil and synthetic oil ).
Nitro engines for models can turn in excess of 50,000 RPM. Typical operating rpm for sport model aircraft engines is 10,000–14,000 RPM. For radio control (RC) boats and ducted fan aircraft engines, 20,000–25,000 is the usual range, and for cars RPM in the range of 25,000–37,000 is common. With this much movement, a lot of frictional heat ...

A radio-controlled car is a powered model car driven from a distance. Gasoline, nitro-methanol and electric cars exist, designed to be run both on and off-road. "Gas" cars traditionally use petrol (gasoline), though many hobbyists run 'nitro' cars, using a mixture of methanol and nitromethane, to get their power.
