When you go out to buy a nitro RC car you will see that many of them come pre-packaged in a box. With these kits you will probably not need to buy anything extra and if you do it will be minimal. However, you may want to buy an RC truck that is separate or that has not been assembled yet. If this is the case then you will need to buy quite a few accessories in order to build. If you have been working with plastic model car kits for some time then you may already have the majority of things you need. Anybody at the store will likely be able to tell you what you need and what comes with the kit. One thing you will definitely need is a radio control that has a receiver, a nitro engine, and some way that will start the car’s engine. All of these cars run on nitro fuel, so it is important that you have this as well so you can fill your engine up and run your new little car. Be careful that you do not buy regular fuel for your nitro car because it will not work. You must buy proper nitro fuel for your car to work properly. If you are a beginner the easiest thing you can do is buy a nitro car kit that comes with everything you could possibly need. That way you will not have to worry about missing something or buying the wrong thing.
