From its name I believe you can understand the main difference: the car doesn't have a battery. This (using petrol) makes it a little not suitable for kids, so you have to be very careful and, if you give it to your children, be sure you are there all the time to provide supervision. The price tag is a little steep at £349.00 (approx. $700), but from my own experience I can tell you those little engines make a great noise and the sensation is really different from the normal battery powered remote controlled car.
This is an actual petrol powered model, meaning you use fuel from a petrol station. It runs on a mix of normal unleaded petrol and 2 stroke oil. Both of these are available from any petrol station which makes them more practical and cheap to run. Mixing the petrol is very easy. You simply fill up a petrol can with 5 litres of unleaded at the petrol station then pour in 250ml of 2 stroke oil. This oil is usually found inside petrol stations with the other oils.
