An expert in remote-controlled (RC) modeling, the Scientific MHD team caters to all remote-controlled vehicle enthusiasts, whether you're an expert or simply curious. The remote-controlled car is one of the flagship categories in our selection. Available in electric or thermal models, they come in off-road versions, asphalt race models, and hybrid options. Depending on your preferences and driving style, you'll find a car from the Scientific MHD selection that suits your aspirations and your current mood, offering hours of driving fun—whether with family, friends, or solo—on circuits as varied as the endless possibilities for enjoyment.

Choose now the remote-controlled car that will give you great sensations and embark on the conquest of new circuits.

Electric or thermal remote-controlled car?

Remote-controlled cars are divided into two main categories based on their type of engine. First, you'll find electric RC cars. This type of car is often a smart choice for beginners. Indeed, they are both easy to maintain and simple to handle. However, there are also electric competition remote-controlled cars that can take you to high speeds on top-tier circuits. Moreover, electric RC cars are quiet and require little maintenance. You can drive for hours without disturbing your neighbors. Electric cars are typically equipped with rechargeable batteries that power both the propulsion and the motor. Some brushless motors are extremely efficient when paired with LiPo batteries, ensuring power comparable to that of thermal remote-controlled cars.

Thermal remote-controlled cars run on nitromethane and are highly competitive. In fact, this is the type of remote-controlled car often used in competitions. For a long time, the premier class of thermal RC car racing was 1/8 scale on-road cars. This has now been replaced by championships for 1/8 scale off-road thermal cars.

Fast and responsive, these vehicles bring joy to model-making enthusiasts.

Scientific MHD offers a wide range of electric and thermal remote-controlled cars for hours of driving on any terrain or circuit.

The different types of remote-controlled cars

There are several types of remote-controlled cars. The most famous is probably the Buggy, an off-road model used in competitions organized by the European Federation of RC Car Modeling. These cars are extremely fast and perform incredible jumps. Additionally, the Truggy offers models designed for very difficult terrains and is often reserved for experts. On the other hand, the on-road car—Touring—is ideal for asphalt and carpet racing, offering great family moments. Finally, 1/30 and 1/32 scale cars are specifically designed for electric road circuits. These cars will satisfy all types of drivers depending on the diverse terrains where they reign supreme.

How to maintain a remote-controlled car?

It is recommended to clean your remote-controlled car after each use. Dust or mud can accumulate and damage the circuits. We encourage you to use a microfiber cloth to remove any dust or mud. For the wheels, we suggest a fine brush that can reach into the gaps. Your remote-controlled car will be ready to tackle any terrain again!

How to choose a remote-controlled car?

If you are passionate about RC modeling, you should choose a remote-controlled car that meets your expectations. To select a car that perfectly suits your needs, consider several factors:

The type of power source
The battery and fuel autonomy
Power and speed
The range of the remote control
The scale
Maneuverability
Design
Budget

Start by choosing your car based on its power source. There are two types of remote-controlled cars: thermal and electric. Thermal models run with a real miniature engine, while electric models are battery-powered.

If you opt for an electric remote-controlled car, pay attention to the battery autonomy according to the chosen model. The autonomy of electric RC cars can vary greatly, but it generally ranges between 15 to 30 minutes depending on the battery's capacity. This mainly depends on the battery quality. The batteries used today in electric remote-controlled cars are usually LiPo, or lithium-polymer, which allows for faster charging compared to traditional batteries due to better energy density. These batteries are lighter and smaller than traditional ones while offering greater autonomy.

Next, choose your RC car based on its speed and engine power. If you have specific power expectations, opt for a thermal remote-controlled car, whose thermal engine will indeed provide more power. This is one reason why thermal RC cars are often used in competitions.

Also, pay close attention to the range of the remote control. The greater the range, the more possibilities you will have in piloting your RC car.

Consider the scale of your remote-controlled car when making your choice, based on your specific expectations and driving habits. Most of the models we offer are 1/10 scale, meaning they are 10 times smaller than the full-sized model. Standard-sized 1/10 scale cars are very versatile, offering great maneuverability, suitable for all terrains, and easy to transport.

The maneuverability of your remote-controlled car can also be influenced by the sensitivity of its remote control, especially regarding the transmitter and joysticks. Ideally, choose a remote control with multiple levels of control for optimal handling.

The design of your remote-controlled car is also important in your decision. Choose a model that appeals to you aesthetically. RC modeling is also about finding a miniature version of a car that made you dream as a child!

Finally, choose your remote-controlled car according to your budget. The models we offer cater to all budgets, ranging from around €100 to nearly €1,000.

At what age can you start with remote-controlled cars?

If you're looking to buy a remote-controlled car for your child, consider their age before making a choice. RC cars are not toys and cannot be used before a certain age. While children can easily operate a remote-controlled car starting at age 8, they usually need to be 14 years old to begin RC modeling and drive remote-controlled cars.

What type of motor should you choose for an RC car?

There are two types of motors for remote-controlled cars: thermal and electric. Thermal motors operate similarly to combustion engines found in traditional thermal cars. Electric motors, on the other hand, are powered by rechargeable batteries.

The choice between the two depends largely on your expectations and how you intend to use the RC car. If you're looking for a very powerful remote-controlled car, opt for a model with a thermal engine. However, thermal RC cars generate a lot of noise, whereas electric models are much quieter. Thermal engines also require significantly more maintenance than electric motors.

What type of remote-controlled car should you choose based on the terrain?

There are generally two categories of remote-controlled cars, each suited for a specific terrain: off-road RC cars and on-road RC cars.

Off-road RC cars have the advantage of being able to drive on both dirt and asphalt. They come in several forms, including the Buggy and Monster Truck.

On-road RC cars are exclusively designed to run on asphalt due to their low ground clearance and wheels that are not suitable for driving on dirt. On-road remote-controlled cars offer a more realistic driving experience with more precise handling, and are also advantageous if you don't want to spend too much time cleaning your RC model.

The main advantages and disadvantages of electric and thermal remote-controlled cars

Both thermal and electric RC cars have their own advantages and disadvantages.

Thermal remote-controlled cars offer better sensations than electric models. With a thermal model, you can feel the engine rev up with each push of the throttle on the remote control. It's an exhilarating feeling, similar to that of a real combustion engine.

If you enjoy mechanics, you'll appreciate the realism of thermal models, which require adjustments just as precise as those of real race cars!

Thermal RC cars also have the advantage of greater autonomy, as you only need to refill the fuel tank to get going again.

Electric remote-controlled cars are easier to maintain and handle than thermal ones. They are also quieter and require fewer engine adjustments to function properly. You won’t have to learn how to tune the engine of your electric RC car. Moreover, today’s electric remote-controlled cars are as high-performing as thermal models, thanks to the new generation of brushless motors.
