Monster Titan Truck for $249.95 |  | | Newest 1/8th scale 4-wheel drive off-road ready-to-run nitro monster trucks |  | | | The 1/8th scale nitro rc buggy is one of the largest classes of rc vehicles. It is so very popular for many reasons:
1. These buggies are extremely fast.
2. They handle incredibly good.
3. They have the reputation of being very tough.
4. They are both a great racer and basher.
All 1/8th scale nitro rc buggies are 4wd featuring a three differential type of drive train. They use a front, rear and center differential to transfer power to each end. This is one of the major tuning aspects of a 1/8th scale nitro rc buggy. Change the oil weight in the differentials and you can radically change how your buggy corners and handles jumps. Plus, how it performs on different types of surfaces (bumpy, loose, hard or smooth).
One of the big variables in choosing a 1/8th scale nitro rc buggy is the power plant. The nitro engine used in these buggies can and does vary greatly. Depending on the manufacture the engine size can vary from a .15 cubic inch up to a .28 cubic inch. The .18 to .21 cubic inch engines being the most popular with many manufacturers.
This is one area that many get confused, having a big engine does not always mean more speed. In most all cases the nitro rc buggies with the small engine will be just as fast as the ones using a large engine.
The big difference will be acceleration. This is where the large engine is going to shine, but not always win. Depending on the surface the smaller engine can easily out perform the larger engine. It will be able to get its power to "hookup" faster. | | | |
