Ricky49 Posted September 21, 2010 Share Posted September 21, 2010 I got this as a 30th Birthday present. Looking forward to running it in then fully opening it up. I went to my local model shop and picked up some fuel. The guy behind the counter asked if I had any expierence with nitro cars before and I said no, his reply was oh dear:blink: these cant be that difficult can they:search:. Its a 1/10 scale Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aero-M Posted September 21, 2010 Share Posted September 21, 2010 The guy behind the counter asked if I had any expierence with nitro cars before and I said no, his reply was oh dear:blink: these cant be that difficult can they:search:. The can be very difficult to drive, My last nitro car would do 100mph and I have lots of experience and found that almost impossible to drive fast. Take your time with it, run it in properly and build up the speed gradually. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guigsy Posted September 24, 2010 Share Posted September 24, 2010 i had one years ago loved it. didnt find it too hard to drive. but then i had experience with electric ones. fiddleing with the fuel all the bloody time was a pain in the arse though. half the time i spent more time trying to get it to start properly with the glow plug then putting the body back on before it stalled mine was rwd and had a brake that would lock the rear wheels. Which was fun Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nevins Posted September 24, 2010 Share Posted September 24, 2010 Good model, make sure when running it leaves a slight smoke trail, if not your engine is not going to last long. I'm guessing its awd aswell. Have some fun and convert it to rwd, but prepare to spin out alot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nevins Posted September 24, 2010 Share Posted September 24, 2010 Is it belt driven or shaft driven, if its belt driven just remove the belt, if it is shaft then same principle but more involved with stripping it down. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jonathanc Posted September 24, 2010 Share Posted September 24, 2010 Hmmm always wanted a nitro buggy but heard from various people that they are prone to stalling (hence more time trying to get it running rather than run it). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SupraStar 3000 Posted September 24, 2010 Share Posted September 24, 2010 that looks ace mate. When he said "do you have any expierence with nitro cars before" you answer should of been "no, but I drive a real Supra" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
