What Are the Hottest Fast Electric RC Cars Around?
There is nothing more exciting than taking control of a fun remote controlled car and blazing it down the roadway. Today various Electric RC cars that are swift, fun and do not require fuel. Each Vehicle on the market runs quickly and effortlessly.
Each of these four RC cars is made to run on battery power. Even more importantly, these are all designed to go faster than any other similar vehicle you will find on the market. All cars have their own quality features and are easy to control although the technical points do vary. There are a few important drawbacks to look into as well so you are fully prepared for what to expect before playing along with one of these models.
Traxxas XO-1 Supercar
The first of the vehicles to check out is the 1/7 scale Traxxas XO-1 Supercar. Being promoted by Traxxas as the world’s fastest ready-to-race RC car, it moves at speeds of 100 mph or greater. It runs from 0 to 60 mph in 3.3 seconds and reaches 100 mph in about seven seconds.
The 3.5hp DC permanent magnet motor is brushless and includes its capacitor bank. The Mamba Monster Extreme System is a software program for the electric engine designed to regulate energy inside the car. Traxxas Power Cell 3S 5000mAh LiPo batteries power up the vehicle.
The radio range is only about 1,400 feet. The car would require most of that range to reach its fastest possible speed. Fortunately for the driver, the tires are made with belted slick materials that can handle such a speed and operate in as little time as possible.
The XO-1 does well with most flat surfaces and is especially useful on tackier drag racing tracks. The vehicle may be easier to control when steering motions are not too disruptive or sudden. Also, surfaces with some undulating effects might keep the car from reaching its maximum potential. The aluminum center drive shaft and the Cush Drive series of drivetrain dampers and shocks keep the vehicle from suffering from too much fatigue.
Traxxas 6907 1/8 NHRA Funny Car RTR
Bring the intense power of a funny car home with the Traxxas 6907 1/8-scale NHRA funny car. The black chrome chassis on this electric car pairs with a wheelie bar that moves weight to the rear wheels, thus improving upon how quickly the funny car can accelerate. The chassis comes with a realistic body that offers an aerodynamic curve to reduce the overall risk of drafting or excess wind pressure.
The Traxxas Stability Management feature is a popular part of this model car. It identifies the car’s motions and speed and adjusts its electric engine for throttle and turning controls as required. The straight braking control feature allows the user to keep a clear hold of the vehicle.
The ET-2400 brushless motor takes this car up to 75 mph. Race, staging and burnout modes are set to where the software on the engine identifies how energy is produced and generates an appropriate amount. The Staging Mode feature on the engine propels the vehicle forward by getting the maximum amount of power out to the vehicle as it first starts up.
The vehicle has a control range of 330 feet. The range allows it to work well for drag racing activities just like what comes with a real funny car. The top even flips up while in motion just like with a real funny car. However, the vehicle is designed for straightaways for the most part although it does have some turning features.
Redcat Lightning EPX PRO
The 1/10-scale Redcat Lightning Epx Pro is the third of the fast electric RC cars to see. Underneath its lightweight plastic body is a 3300KV brushless motor with a 3500mAh LiPo battery.
Aluminum shocks and a fully adjustable independent suspension are both highlighted inside the Lightning EPX PRO. Each feature can be adjusted to create a better grip on the road and to make the vehicle easier to control. A small amount of oil can be found in each of the shocks to add a more realistic layout.
Progressive rate springs are added to improve upon how the vehicle can handle bumpy or undulating roads. The aluminum materials around the upper chassis plate produce a stronger layout that does not weaken quickly.
The battery secures itself easily into the vehicle although the power source does use a large amount of energy. While the driver can upgrade the 3500mAh battery, the most powerful unit that can be added is a 6-cell 7.2V NiMh battery. 3S power sources cannot be used.
The Lightning EPX PRO can regularly attain speeds of 30 mph or greater. It can get near 50 mph when the conditions are right, and the driving surface is flat although it might take the entire radio range for that to happen.
Redcat Racing Rampage XR
The Rampage XR is the last of these vehicles to drive. The KV brushless electric motor works with a four-wheel drive system. The aluminum chassis keeps the weight of the vehicle down.
The 150A electronic speed control system produces a significant amount of torque in a small body. The vehicle propels to 30 mph in very little time.
The oil-filled shocks are also made with aluminum. Those units keep the vehicle on the ground and less likely to wear out or suffer from far too much shaking.
Various types of surfaces are no match for the Rampage XR. The rally tires have a strong series of grooves and are thick enough to handle any surface. The fastest speeds are easier to come across when the driver is on a flat racing surface.
These fast electric RC cars are all designed with some of the best engines around. The bodies on each vehicle are also carefully built and tuned to make them aerodynamic and easy to control. Check out one of these appealing cars the next time you are looking for an electric model that moves quickly and moves out fast.
