No they are not. They can get ruined by water just like a normal car engine can.
I have never used a Nitro RC engine myself. I did do a little digging, and came across a very useful website that compares Electric and Nitro RC engines, giving both positives and negatives of both. Hope it helps! http://rcvehicles.about.com/od/basics/ss/electricnitro.htm
No. Nitro engines are a two cycle engine that are specifically designed to run on specialized nitro mixes. Most gasoline engines are more complex four cycle engines. If you use the wrong fuel in either type of engine, it could ruin your expensive equipment.
RC Nitro CarsNitroRCX.com has the one speed nitro rc buggy for $119. See the related links below for two other sites you can buy inexpensive RC Nitro cars.
If you mean an engine that runs on Nitromethane I think they are no different than the normal RC engine. the engines and the fuel can be purchased at most hobby shops.
nitro as it will get a better boost
I drive mostly electric cars but I heard that when engines are new they can be hard to start up. Look up how to break in my nitro engine. Someone may answer it for you.
you don't use gas you use nitro methaneThe actual gas is called Nitro methane. 20% nitro fuel is a good all around fuel for nitropowered rc cars
There are several websites that one could get help building a nitro RC truck. These websites include RC Car Action, YouTube, RC Vehicles, and Nitro RC Car.
There isn't really an "average price" unless you specify the size you are seeking. They make nitro rc engines for cars, they also make them for airplanes, so you would need to be more specific.
yes, all traxxas electric RC cars come waterproof, but the gas powered ones require work and money to waterproof
