FAQs about RTR RC Cars
What batteries do I need for my RTR RC car and are they included?
RTR (Ready-to-Run) RC cars typically require LiPo or NiMH batteries, depending on the model. Some kits include batteries, but many require separate purchases. Check the specifications to confirm battery type and whether they are included.
What's the actual runtime I can expect from an RTR RC car?
An RTR RC car typically offers 15–30 minutes of runtime per charge, depending on battery capacity, driving style, and terrain. High-capacity batteries or efficient motors can extend runtime.
How fast do RTR RC cars really go out of the box?
Out of the box, RTR RC cars reach speeds of 20–50 mph, depending on the model and motor type. High-performance RTRs may exceed 60 mph with proper gearing and battery upgrades.
What's the real difference between a €100 and €1000 RTR RC car?
The main difference between a €100 and €1000 RTR RC car is quality and performance. High-end models feature advanced materials, faster motors, and better suspension systems, while budget models have basic components and limited durability.
