Why is Mini Z so expensive?
The servo aspect of it is equivalent to a high speed digital servo which on its own, an equivalent one would be ball park $40. That low latency response is probably their secret recipe to making a mini-z feel so right in the handling department. A brushless motor will be $35, the brushless ESC will be a around $30.
Which is faster nitro or electric RC?
Brushless motors can also handle a lot higher voltage than brushed motors. With a high voltage supply, brushless motors can help a beginner RC race at blistering speeds. RCs equipped with brushless motors currently hold the fastest speed records for RC—yes, faster than nitro.

Why is nitro RC fuel so expensive?
RE: Why is nitro fuel so expensive??? The expensive bit is the nitro. The nitro cost is about 25 times as much as the methanol for the same amount. Using lower % nitro will reduce the cost per gallon quite a bit.
Can nitro fuel go bad?
Absolutely It does go bad. It gets gummy or watery, but it has a pretty long shelf life. You can tell when nitro gets bad when it gets thick and gummy sometimes looke like water condensing in the bottle. Rule of thumb never use it after 1 year of sitting around.
Can a nitro engine run on petrol?
They’ll only run on petrol if converted to spark ignition and there are parts available to do this but it’s usually only done on larger aircraft engines. If you could get one to run on petrol then it won’t explode or break anything.
How much power does nitromethane add?
NITROMETHANE AS A PISTON ENGINE FUEL 540186 It has been learned that nitromethane can increase power output by as much as 13 percent on an indicated or gross basis when added to methyl alcohol and by 7 percent when added to a benzene-isooctane mixture in concentrations of 20% by volume.
Who is the richest drag racer?
Michael Schumacher
Can you run a normal car on nitromethane?
No. The stock fuel system will not supply enough fuel for the car to run. However nitromethane carries its own oxygen so you don’t need as much air for the proper air/fuel ratio. Race engines may run a air/fuel ratio of 0.5:1 You don’t need much air to burn the fuel since it has its own oxygen.
Can you run nitromethane in a stock engine?
No. The stock fuel system will not supply enough fuel for the car to run. The ideal fuel/air mixture for a gasoline engine is 14.7 :1. For every pound of gasoline, you need 14.7 pounds of air.
