A RTR car means a RC car that is “Ready –To-Run” right from the moment you get it from the stores. Such RC cars are great for first time users as most of them do not posses the skills necessary for building a RC car out of a kit box and other materials. These mainly run on rechargeable battery packs and also, they are not as expensive as the hobby-grade, fully customizable RC nitro race cars.
If however, you have the skills necessary to put together a RC nitro car, then I suggest that you get one of those hobby-class customizable cars that you can assemble right from the engine to the tires. Maintenance becomes a cinch if you assemble your own RC car, because of your thorough knowledge about the internals and the externals of the RC nitro car that you yourself put together.

An on-road RC car is made for popular races. The miniature replicas of actual race cars are maneuvered along paved tracks at the highest speeds possible for a RC nitro car, but are not meant for uneven or off-road terrains.
The off-road races require big and tough RC nitro cars like a monster truck which have a very resistant chassis and big wheels to run through sand, mud and even rocks. They may not be able to pull off such high speeds as a miniature RC Lamborghini or a Ferrari, but they are much tougher and powerful.
There are two power sources available for a RC car to run on, one of them is a rechargeable battery pack and the second is fuel, just like a real race car. The electric RC cars that run on batteries are suitable for users learning how to control the RC cars for the first time, but they are not suitable for hardcore competition. The nitro-methane fuel powers the actual competition level RC nitro cars. A little lubricant is added to the fuel for protecting the engine. It is noisy and makes the RC nitro car quite dirty and requires constant maintenance though.
If you really want to assemble a RC nitro car, then get a tool box along with your RC car kit. The tool box should contain knives, screwdrivers, needle-noses of different types, pliers and a slip-joint to name a few. Get all the tools that you have in your house, because you will need them to assemble your RC nitro car.
It would be wise if you added a few parts and accessories of your own to what you already have in the RC car kit. This will give your RC nitro car a more personalized look and also modify it to perform better in the races. They are easily available both online websites and offline stores.
Practice patience as you take up the job of assembling, it is best to read the manual provided in the RC kit through and through to minimize mistakes. Work in a private, suitable area which lets you concentrate, that will let you study it, build it and finish it faster. If you are having problems understanding the manual, then talk to the experts or go online and browse through websites that offer free help.
