Hi!
I have prepared this FAQ due to the increased number of enquiries about gas cars from other sectors of the hobby. Lately we've had plane guys, boat guys, nitro guys, electric guys, heli guys, even some of those weird tank guys
getting in on the gas powered car explosion going on right now!
So here is an FAQ on the most basic aspects of running a gas car. I hope it answers some of the more Frequently Asked Questions from those looking to get into some giant scale mayhem.
Here are the questions, each links to the post below which covers the topic, just click on a FAQ, or read them all in order!
If any of you l33t gas guys want to add something, either post in the thread or PM me, and I will be happy to add it. This should make a great resource for our newcomers.
