Electric Off Road RC Cars
It’s no secret that radio-controlled cars are great fun for both kids and adults. The hobby has evolved quite a bit since the first RC car hit the market in the early 1960s. Nowadays, enthusiasts of these faithful car recreations have a wide plethora of models to choose from, including off-road vehicles that can handle any terrain you put them in.
The methods of powering up RC vehicles have also changed. While traditionalpetrol-based RC cars are still very popular, we now also have nitro and electric models to choose from. If you’re interested in the latter, you’ve come to the right place. At AT Models, we offer a wide selection of electric off road RC cars, from beginner-friendly all the way to models for RC professionals.
How Do Electric RC Cars Work?
If you’re wondering how electric RC cars work, it’s actually fairly simple. Their source of energy is a battery that converts electrical energy into mechanical energy, powering up a small electric motor that sets the car into motion.
These motors consist of a set of magnets, a stator, and a rotor. Applying electric current to the rotor, it creates a magnetic field by flowing through the copper coils of the stator. The magnetic fields of the rotor and stator interact with each other, causing rotation in the rotor, allowing electric RC cars to move.
Electric RC Cars vs. Nitro and Petrol Cars
The main difference between electric RC cars and other types of radio-controlled vehicles is, of course, the engine and how it’s powered up. As we already mentioned, electric current sourced from a battery powers up electric vehicles. Petrol andnitro cars, on the other hand, need liquid fuel to operate correctly. To refuel a traditional RC car, you will need to fill it up with gasoline or nitro, whereas electric RC vehicles simply need to be charged at a power socket.
Another important thing to note is the fact that electric RC cars are much quieter than their counterparts, making them an ideal choice for driving around in your backyard without annoying the neighbors.
Types of Electric Off Road RC Cars
Our selection of electric off road remote-control cars contains a wide range of models, body types, shapes, and sizes. You can choose between dozens of different electric RC car kits to find the one that suits you best. Here are the four basic kinds of electric car kits we have in our inventory:
- Buggies:The perfect choice for beginners. Lightweight and speedy, buggies offer unparalleled manoeuvrability and high speed on rough, rugged terrains.
- Truggies:At first glance, they may resemble buggies, but truggies have significantly larger wheels and sturdier frames, which makes them capable of handling even more challenging terrain.
- Monster trucks:These are large and resilient electric off road RC cars, with huge wheels and superior suspension systems. You can tackle just about any terrain with an RC monster truck.
- Rock crawlers:The most specialized out of all off road RC cars,rock crawlers are quite slow, but their controls are very precise, allowing you to climb over virtually any obstacle.
Where Can I Drive My Electric Off Road RC Car?
The best thing about electric off road RC cars is that they can be driven almost anywhere. Of course, they’re meant to be taken out onto rough, rocky and muddy terrains, but they’ll do just fine on a regular asphalt surface, as well.
Check out your area for dedicated RC tracks. These are usually the most fun to drive on, boasting numerous obstacle courses, including off-road ones. If there aren’t any in your vicinity, you can always design your own one in your backyard or a nearby park, which is a greatly entertaining process in and of itself.
