Big RC Cars Are Big on Fun and Excitement

There are some really big RC cars on the market these days and they add to the excitement of racing as their sheer size helps then race over rougher conditions than the smaller cars. With huge knobbly tires and long travel suspension these big RC cars can be raced through mud, over sand and through long grass. With the long suspension travel and big diameter soft tires they can also jump over big humps without doing any damage and can land from great heights and continue racing. Many of these big RC cars are over one and a half feet long and are wider enough to corner at high speeds without tipping over. To get these Big RC cars to perform they need powerful engines and that is exactly what they are powered with as the new generation of engines produce more power than ever. Some of these big cars are even powered by two engines for enormous power and most of the cars are four-wheel drive for added traction.

There are also a number of really aggressive RC trucks that look enormous compared to the vehicles that were offered just a few years ago. The big RC cars have a very wide track and the mechanicals are set low in the chassis for a lower center of gravity. This lower center of gravity helps with the stability of the vehicle particularly when cornering. The big soft tires give so much traction that the gears in the differentials and gearboxes have had to be upgraded to handle the power from the twin engines. Lighter gears can be prone to damage when there is too much traction and too much power applied on surfaces such as grass where the wheels won’t spin. Fortunately there are many parts that can be replaced relatively easily and at little expense.
