I want to buy a 1/5 scale petrol buggy and don't know which of these online shops to choose from:

http://www.nitroblaze.co.uk/ShengQi_-_Baja_Buggy_115th_Scale_Rc_-_free_P_P/p229391_469831.aspx

http://www.mynewcheap.co.uk/products/details/shengqi-baja-1-5th-scale-petrol-buggy/15025/
and
http://www.nitrotek.co.uk/ZCA5.htm
Which one should I choose?

I would suggest you try visiting ModelMania.com. It has a very wide range.

I also would have suggested Airfix.com but you wanted 1/5th scale and Airfix don't go that big. Otherwise Airfix/Modelmania would have been the perfect site.

But from the choices above I would suggest www.rc-hobbies.co.uk as they are the most reliable website to buy from.

Hope this answer helped!

I have had an electric car for a few years now, and i am well used to controlling it using the standard trigger and wheel. Now i want to get a petrol off-road RC car instead. I am looking at spending £100 to £130, plus extra expenses for the likes of fuel and glow starters. Any suggestions would be appreciated :). Thanx.

You won't get anything new for £130 that you want. (The nitrotek stuff is cheap because it is poorly made.)
Save another bit of money and try grab an hpi bullet. Which is a great truck. Failing that, local independant hobby stores will stock second hand good brands. For instance, i got a thunder tiger tomahawk second hand, £80. No problems with it thus far.
All 'petrol' (you mean nitro here, petrol is entirely different. They are 23-26 CC engines that power the 1/5ths, about a grand to buy one.) take alot of looking after. You have to know enough about what your doing to keep it running well. The upside is there is loads of info on the web, and even step by step movies on you tube.

A couple of good trucks to check out; (though im sure others will disagree)
Traxxas rustler
Thunder tiger tomahawk (£160 new, not bad at all)
Hyper 7.
Hpi bullet/firestorm

OK i saw this rc car which is petrol do you know if they last long and if they are good fun i am 15 years old and own two dirt bikes so i know alot about engines the link of the rc car is below thanks for looking http://www.madbikesireland.com/product_info.php?cPath=76&products_id=374

im looking to buy a petrol or nitro RC car it will be my first car.
does any one no any good types for me im looking for a truck or buggy or 4×4 that sort of thing

I think Antics have a shop in Bristol.

When i start my rc nitro car up the wheels spin immediatly and gets stuck on full revs also i have to blow in the tube to get the petrol through. My car is a BMW GTR type. Please help
Thanks!

Ok, i think (THINK) that you have two seperate problems here. I think the first problem, of the engine engaging immediately, is due to the possition of your clutch. The second, i think is an air leak. Check the possition of your engine, and check your clutch shoes are'nt burnt out. Also, seal (i used high temp glue) anywhere around the fuel tank and exhaust system that may not be air tight.

Nitro fuel is in fact mainly made from Methanol (methyl alcohol), Oil (castor, synthetic or a mix of these), and very often a bit of nitromethane or nitropropane. There is no petrol whatsoever in it. Premix motorbike fuel will not work, nor will any fuel containing petrol. Use the correct stuff, I know its dear but the cheapest way of buying it is by the gallon from Model Aircraft shop. Also dont use the high levels of nitromethane unless you have to - many engines quite happy on 5%.
