Start your engines! Get ready for the power and speed of NITRO XRC - a new line of radio controlled vehicles powered by nitro fuel. These speedsters can travel up to 25 miles per hour (40 kms), which is probably faster than your grandma drives and up to three times faster than traditional battery-operated RC vehicles. The NITRO XRC cars feature the speed and sound of a real working combustion engine and are durable enough to do stunts both on and off road. The first NITRO XRC vehicles are the Richochet and the Revolution MT. The Richochet is a two-sided stunt machine with massive tires that allow it to drive on both sides, while the Revolution MT is a rugged monster truck built for speed and stunts. Since these vehicles use real nitro fuel, they're "recommended" for older teens, aged 16 and up - so if you're younger than that, you'll want an adult or older sibling to be around when you drive these things. (This also means you'll be able to blame someone else when your NITRO XRC tears through your neighbors lawn and scares their cat.) Accessory kits with specialized tires and body kits are also available if you'd like to give your vehicle some extra modifications.
