    I'm really happy that you found out that electric engines don't have as much torque as it used to. The gas engines have variable torque and at maximum level, they have 7x more torque

      @evernewb2073 2 года назад +1

      @@Loderyod uh, buddy? electric motors have FAR more torque compared to any form of internal combustion engine operating at similar energy levels (or external combustion for that matter) and with the potential for both sensory feedback and fine control of that torque on an instant to instant basis, far better power to weight ratios, and a lot more tolerance for load variance and just plain general abuse the only real issue with electric motors is that electric _storage systems_ are both really dam heavy and relatively low energy density.
      oh! also usually kinda poor efficiency on electricity storage but electric motors are far more efficient so ICE/ECE has that problem even worse overall.
      funnily enough a lot of the time the _gas_ car is the one that ends up being less of a miniature ecological disaster overall because batteries are all sorts of bad in that regard, that and the infrastructure for generating electricity relatively cleanly is a lot less there than you might expect.

    The car it self had 2 modes for the steering. When you pressed a button on the remote and steered left or right it made the front wheels rotate with more force otherwise it just steers normally.

    Ah yes '90s RC cars and their commercials. I think my favorites from TYCO were the Rebound and Fast Traxx. One that really surprised me was the Stunt Boss 360. It didn't have any particularly crazy gimmicks as it was just a car with tank steering, but its shape and balance let you do some really neat tricks with it.
