Nitro engine

A nitro engine is like a little machine that uses special fuel (kind of like what a car uses) called nitro fuel to make it go vroom vroom!

The engine has lots of tiny parts inside that work together to make it move. There's a special part called a carburetor that mixes air and nitro fuel and sends it into the engine. Once the fuel is in the engine, it gets sparked and explodes to make the engine spin really fast.

This spinning power is what makes things like radio-controlled cars and airplanes move fast and do cool tricks. But because nitro fuel can be dangerous, it's important to use the engine safely and follow the rules!
