Nitrotek are proud to announce that we have been appointed the exclusive UK distributors for the latest 1/5th petrol radio controlled cars from XRC Racing. Until now rc cars that run on actual petrol have been very expensive with prices starting at over £700 for a model including all equipment and electronics that made them a very specialist and exclusive product. We are pleased to say that XRC have now changed this and these great models are now available to everyone at realistic prices.

Seems to good to be true right! There are two main factors that have made this possible. Firstly, unlike other manufacturers, XRC make almost all the parts and engine in the same factory. Other factories will buy the engine from one place, the chassis from another etc, and then just put it all together which is a very expensive way of doing it. XRC are traditionally engine manufacturers and now make most of the parts themselves which saves a lot of money that can be passed on to you. The second reason is that due to the price being much lower and therefore sales being much bigger, they can be manufactured and imported in bigger quantities which saves on component and logistics costs.

Unlike nitro radio controlled cars these petrol ones run on a mix of normal unleaded petrol and 2 stroke oil. Both of these are available from any petrol station which makes them more practical and cheaper to run than a nitro model. Mixing the petrol is very easy as included in the package is a mixing bottle. You simply pour in some unleaded petrol up to the marker on the bottle and then top up to the second marker with the 2 stroke oil. This oil is usually found inside petrol stations with the other oils.

If you look at other 1:5 scale petrol cars on the market you will see even though they are more expensive they usually don't include everything you need and you have to go out and buy your own radio equipment, special 1:5 scale steering servo, electronics battery pack and charger. With the XRC package everything you need is included, even a high capacity rechargeable battery pack with UK charger and a tool kit with all the tools needed to maintain the buggy.

The buggy is available in red, yellow or blue. They also come with a pack of stickers so you can customize the shell to your own preference. Please enter your colour choice in the comments section when making payment.

Please see the very top of this page for the postage cost on this item. The lower figure is for mainland UK delivery and the more expensive figure if for European delivery. If you are not in mainland UK (for example Northern Ireland or Scottish Highlands) please contact us before ordering to make sure there is no additional postage charges.

If you purchase two or more items we can combine the postage so you only pay one lot so whether you buy one or five items the postage will be the same.

Large items will be sent the same day Mon - Fri by NEP next working day courier if ordered before 2pm. After trying many different couriers we have found NEP are the best and most reliable.

Small items are still sent the same day if ordered before 2pm but by Royal Mail 1st class recorded post.

Please note Saturday & Sunday are not classed as working days so orders placed on Friday before 2pm will be delivered on Monday and orders placed over the weekend will be sent on Monday and delivered on Tuesday.

Delivery will usually be between 9am and 5.30pm (I'm afraid we can not give an actual time). We can offer a Saturday delivery service but it is an extra £15 on top of the standard postage. If you want to order with Saturday delivery please phone us as this can not be done by email.

If nobody is in they will try again the next day and if nobody is in again they will leave a card explaining how you can collect your parcel from your local depot.
