This buggy is a great beginner for someone that never had a nitro powered vehicle. I personalty like the would go with the brushless version because it doesn't require any tuning and it's ready to go out of the box.

@crazzzzzzzzycracker Nitro fuel is rated with different percentages indicating the amount of nitro content in the fuel. The fuel usually consists of nitromethane, methanol, synthetic oil, and other additives depending on the brand and manufcaturer of the fuel.

If you turn on the receiver first there is a chance that the receiver will get some stray signal from something else and cause the RC to take off. Also when you turn off the RC always turn off the RC first before the transmitter.

@MrCman182 Most hobby stores sell nitro fuel. The most common is 20% which costs appox. $40 a gallon depending on where you are and what brands are available. No mixing required. A gallon will usually last me about a month and a half going out every weekend and the odd day after work in my Savage X 4.6

Exactly what nitrorcx said. Its especially important for nitro models because they can easily get out of control. Believe me, if you are new to the whole thing there really isn't a feeling quite like seeing your beloved model careening off into the sunset out of control. You might also want to invest in a throttle return spring and a fail safe if the radio doesn't have one built in.

@sonic2000ish If you didn't get nitro fuel specifically made for nitro car engine (because there is also airplane nitro which is different blend of nitro and oil), the best thing is to return it if it's not opened yet. 20% nitro content is best for car engine. People that race also use up to 30% nitro.

I'm only familiar with Traxxas's engines and they recommend 5 tanks during break-ins...gradually building up the speed and temperature of the engine. From other break in methods ive read about, they also advise 3-5 tanks. Two tanks isn't enough I don't think. "Flush low speed needle means the head of the screw is even with the material around it. If you can slide your screwdricer across the head of the lsn screw, then it is flush". -from forum post.
