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.
