How big is a RC electric car 1/10 and 1/14 in mm?

im buying a RC electric car under £120 and i wanna know how large in mm one of them is. specifiy it in mm.
also if you know give me some good websites for buying rc electric cars + and a good model

thx

I think a 1/10 is about 400mm. I know good cars are the xray and the cyclone. Look at the mirage website- you may get a better idea.

What is a decent rc helicopter for a beginner?

Is Blade CX2 RTF Electric Coaxial good for that and if not what is a good one?
Also when I'm buying a rc heli for a first time what are the things I should look for?
And what's the price range for such helicopters?

Though I'm a beginner I'd like to have a rc helicopter with lots of capabilities. So please give me good ones.

Hello, you are in luck, I am a RC helicopter Pilot. Unless you are familiar with the controls with a RC helicopter that mimics the functions of a full scale helicopter, I suggest you get something else. The Blade CX/2 has Counter Rotating Blades that only helps the helicopter center it if you move left, right, forwards or backwards. However I don't suggest it if youre a beginner that just started. Air Hogs has come out with an awesome line of helicopter products. The helicopter Havoc is great to test, but it only has 2 channels. Up, Down, Rotate Left and Right. The Air Hogs Helix/Reflex is also great. It has counter rotating blades, and it could go up, down, rotate right and left, and even forwards and backwards. I highly suggest this if its your first time with helicopters. Simulators are only for the actualy full scale helicopters, so I wouldnt suggest that yet until you feel confident later on. I have bought lots of these RC aircrafts and I must say, you should get the Air Hogs Havoc or Reflex/Helix (both are same) and then go with the E-Flite's Blade CX/2 (CX2 only has better transmitter.) After that, if you want to go further, you could go with the Blade CP or buy a simulator to fly around. (simulator is optional if you dont feel confident) Hope my information helpped, but if it didnt, please feel free to contact me for all your RC needs.

How can I dual boot OSx and Windows 7 RC on a PC?

I have a dell inspiron 1535 running the RC of windows 7. How can I dual boot with some OSx86 build. Id like specifics like what build and how to do it. Thanks!

well what i did was install Windows 7 first!
then shrunk my hard drive using Disk Managment!
then i installed ideben 1.4 on the other partition!
and after you boot into osx86 google and install Chameleon 2.0!
reboot and it should let you choose if you want to boot into osx or w7

why do we use only nitromethane fuel for rc engine?

is it possible to run it with petrol or diesel? [ i have only one so i am scared to try running it with petrol or diesel]

Your engine runs on methanol, probably a synthetic oil for lube, and nitromethane as a combustion enhancer. It allows the engine to idle very reliably, gives a top end performance boost from about 10% Nitromethane and above and makes starting easier. It effectively increases the compression ratio by giving more available oxygen to the mix, improving volumetric efficiency.

You cannot use Petrol in this engine, it is not designed to use this fuel, and simply won't run. Nor can you use diesel from a car in this type of engine. Those fuels are for completely different systems. Just use exactly the fuel specified for your engine and you will be fine.

As you are interested in this subject you should look further into it, perhaps you should look into becoming a mechanical engineer even. How engines basically work is fairly straightforward, but learning the details and alternative methods can keep you busy for many years! :)

I attach a couple of recent questions I have answered.

Good luck
