Question by Dev: How does the whole "Radio controlling a engine" work in a Gas Powered RC car?
Im interested in building a homemade gas RC car, but I need to learn how the whole thing works. How does the radio control the engine moving the car or making it stay still?

RC Gas Cars
Article by Bob Janeway
Gas powered RC cars are among the most powerful, exciting and quickest of all the radio controlled cars. Gas RC cars are intended to run on gas that is referred to as "nitro" or "glow fuel", and these nitro RC cars bring a degree of style and operation that the bulk of gas RC cars and trucks cannot "hold a candle to."
It is essential to shop carefully for gas RC cars as there are two different types of gas powered RC cars - kits and RTR or "ready to run". Purchasing RTR gas rc cars will most likely allow the RC car or truck to be taken out of the box and on the track in no time. Loads of gas powered RC car enthusiasts get pleasure from building their own car providing a great sense of accomplishment. It may be a beneficial plan to acquire some skill and experience by using RTR gas RC cars first, then after gathering a basic knowledge of the different components of gas rc cars, build a gas rc cars kit.
As with any style of gas RC cars, the engine is an essential element in determining the speed and performance of the vehicle. There are a variety of gas engines offered for gas powered RC cars, but most of the time they will come loaded with whats called "glow engines". The glow engine is essentially a two cycle internal combustion engine able to offer the control and speed that makes the difference in winning or losing in the world of RC car racing.
The kind of fuel put in the your gas powered RC cars is a fundamental component in the performance of the vehicle. It is imperative to use only the fuel recommended by the gas RC car maker. The manufacturer's individually designed fuel mixtures are engineered for providing the power and speed necessary and at the same time shielding critical engine workings from breakdown.
Another essential element of the gas powered rc cars is the radio as rc cars use the identical two channel radio system used by all RC cars. If purchasing a RTR or "ready to run" kit, the radio should be included but buying a "build it yourself" kit the radio usually is needed to be supplied seperately. Whichever approach you choose keeping extra batteries and an AC charger on hand is essential. Additional battery packs charged and ready will enable the runinng of the gas RC cars for longer periods of time for uninterrupted fun.

Choosing your first rc car
How To get Started With a Gas Powered RC Car Or Truck
Some people are hesitant about trying an rc car or truck.
Perhaps they think it has to be for racing ,
Remote-controlled cars and trucks come in lots of styles and types .
You shouldthink about how you want to use it before eventually owning one.
It is of course similar to choosing a ful size car (except you cannot actually get inside)
Here are some ideas for choosing an RC Car or Truck.
1 Do you want a prebuilt car or truck or are you happy to tinker for hours ?
2 Would you prefer a sporty car or a tough truck >
3 Do You want an electric model (easier to assemble and runs right out of the box)
Or would you prefer a Gas Powered model -
These are fuelled with a Nitromethane fuel that includes lubricants to protect the engine.
Usually the Gas fuelled cars use what is known as a Glow engine that runs similarly to a real car engine
but is actually a 2-stroke engine and has a throaty sound like a sports car and produces a exhaust like a real car.
These cars use a Glow Plug (hence the name) which heats the ignition process instead of a spark plug.
(may be a little difficult to start when cold but s quite exciting when you get the settings right)
Gas powered cars also need filters and even fuel bottle pumps to get fuel into the fuel tank.
You can buy kits in various forms from completely assembled and ready for fuelling to kits where you have to decide how to
assemble them and what engines to fit.
Usually a 2-channel radio control unit is included and this runs on readily available batteries.
Its as easy to use as an electric kit (wireless !)
If you want to get straight into competitive racing then you need a gas powered model with a fairly powerful engine (can get expensive !)
But if you just want to drive around without being in a compeition then probably an electrically powered model (continued below)

 AMT 672 132 USA 1 4X4 MUSTANG TRUCK  US $25.48
|
 Tamiya 53957 RC Multi Function Control Unit Pick Up US $369.00
|
 RD Logics TMX075S Alum Aluminum Fuel Tank Silver T Maxx 25 New US $49.87
|
will be great to start off with (but you may not be able to resist upgrading to a gas powered car soon.)
If you choose an electric model then I suggest buying a Truck or other ATV as you will have a LOT more fun with this than a saloon car.(You cannot drive a saloon car over a sandhill..)
Hope this will help with chosing your first rc car.
