NITRO VS ELECTRIC (RC FORMULA 1 COMPARISION) 4K

A little comparison between two lovely rc cars. Tamiya F201 Ferrari F2001 and the Kyosho KF01 SP with optional 2 speed. I love both these remote controlled 1/10 scale F1 cars, but there's just something special about driving the nitro that isn't there with the electric. At the same time the electric is probably more usable if you live in crowded areas where people might get annoyed. Thankfully everyone I've encountered seems to love that nitro sound, and they are drawn to the rc car in a positive manner.

Hope you all enjoy the video :)

My family have worked with Renault F1 team since they was called United colours of Benetton. And my uncle is an engineer. And he built in 1995 a remote control version of the F1 car of that year with a petrol engine. It was so massive, from spoiler to nose cone was around 5/6 feet. We used to race it up the starting straight at Silverstone on F1 test days and it was so fast

Omg the way you can hear the nitro f1 car changing gears that sounds absolutely incredible, I would absolutely love to own one 🥹! Great stuff man you’ve earned a sub

[danowens]

Just imagine if that nitro had a close ratio 10 speed transmission. That awesome sound going through the gears.

[aaronsoto]

That nitro sounds nice. Loving that shifting noise. :)

Hearing the Kyosho Nitro F1 shirt change sounds so frikken AWESOME!!!!

[randyholbrook]

Just as in full scale racing, nothing beats the sound of an internal combustion engine.

[Greendalechevy]

Love the sounds when that nitro changes gears sounds more like a real f1

[fridonina]

I can almost smell the nitro car ! Lovely !

[tabbydougherty]

I always found nitro way more exhilarating, I no longer own one but I am with you on nitro!

[blackfalcon]

Electric out of the box is easier and usually always faster. But it will never be as much fun as a Nitro, never make the noise and smell of a nitro either. Electric to me is a good time, but nitro is a great time!

Thanks for the memories. I've gone to the Tamiya Track in southern California numerous times to race in the TCS. There's nothing like a full grid of F201s at the start. That nitro sounds to be tuned conservative. That motor can be leaned out to sound like a dental drill.

I CANT AGREE MORE....
amazing f1 rc's man but that nitro change gear sounds so satisfying

[shushyshushy]

The shifting on the Nitro sounds pretty damn cool when it shifts from 1st to 2nd, imagine if it had more gears in the transmissions lol.

[ModitRC]

Best part about nitro is how much your neighbors will love you, lol.

[JahIzReal]

Nice video got to take the RS4 nitro off the shelf and show it some r/c love!

[Cbro-]

Boy I love me some nitro!! Beautiful cars buddy

[andresgarcia]

Man I agree, it kinda sounds like the real f-1 cars.

[JallyTee]

I love my Tamiya F103 (f189) and other electric cars but you are so right nothing beats the nitro's, I'm currently restoring a vintage PB Alpha IS 1981 1/8th scale. Just so much fun not only driving but working on them.

Cool stuff . Nice footage .Glad you decided to run it . I have the same Tam Ferrari F201. Since 2007 Ithink, One of the nicest RCs I've ever driven .
Its in excellent condition as it only comes out once or twice a yr to run on a clean surface .
I actually just run a lipo batt on the tuned brushed stock motor and find the speed is sufficient.
Got back into nitro last yr too . Missed the realism and performance . And smell . LOL

The nitro f1 car is perfect in terms of car type with the high engine revs, then the 2 speed shift.
I may have to get one just because of this
