Electric RC Sprint Cars

here are many kinds of cars in the real world: Sedans, Safaris, SUVs, Formula One cars. So, their imitating radio controlled cars also have all those kinds. While a touring Electric RC Car is the most popular one, the Electric RC Sprint Car is no doubt the strangest of the bunch.

Real Sprint Cars are small light weight high powered cars designed for very fast racing at more than 200 kmph. These cars have a very high power to weight ratio or, in other words, they are relatively very light for the speeds given by them. Being very fast, they use cage like metal structure mounted on top for safety of drivers, in case of overturning, rolling during high speed racing.

Being very light, to increase tire friction and to prevent easy hopping off the track/ ground, a wing typically made of aluminium is mounted on top in the centre, which increases the downward thrust while racing. Electric RC Sprint Cars also imitate their real counterparts, point for point, with only lesser speed but same design.  

Due to the very high speeds, these are popular for training of NASCAR (National Association for Stock Car Auto Racing) drivers. Indeed, these are designed primarily for racing on dirty tracks in short stretches. Likewise, Electric RC Sprint Cars can also be used for rough training on dirty bumpy tracks.

The typical features of an Electric RC Sprint Cars are as follows:

1.    Lightweight carbon-composite chassis.

2.    Location of Motor at the centre of chassis for equal weight distribution.

3.    Aluminium alloy roll cage.

4.    Aluminium side guards and bumpers.

5.    Adjustable aluminium wing mounted on top and with side wings to help turning.

One can even find wingless sprint cars. The popularity of sprint cars led to the formation of the 'World of Outlaws' sprint series. It is then little wonder that Electric RC Sprint Cars also have devoted fans, who adore them for the sheer pumping of adrenaline. Go Sprinting Now!
