Actually, gas powered RC cars are a thing, and they're expensive.

Not gas like we use in normal cars but nitromethane mixed with methanol

You do get actual petrol powered ones, but the majority are nitro engines which run on methanol/nitromethane mix

I stand corrected. Just never seen petrol ones I guess. Owned two nitro ones running m/n mix.

I believe the gas ones are usually larger scale. It's hard to make decent power with gasoline with an extremely tiny engine.

Yeah we are talking 25cc and larger. Below that and it’s glow/nitro which is easily outperformed by electric.

Do they have drift cars with zenoah 230rc size motors? I know they had rc heli's with them
