What kind of gas does a nitro RC car take?

Nitro RC cars do not use gas in the traditional sense. They run on nitro methane, which is a highly flammable fuel that burns very hot and produces a lot of power.

Nitro methane is often mixed with other components like methanol, castor oil, and nitromethane to create a fuel blend that is optimized for the specific engine and operating conditions.

While the term "gas" is sometimes used colloquially for nitro RC cars, it's important to remember that it's a specific type of fuel and not the same as gasoline used in regular cars.
