Hi, I have just ordered my first nitro car, and first RC car in over 15 years What fuel do the LST use? How do i break in the engine? What is important to do when it arrives? Think it will arrive next week

Fuel is a preference thing, but get Car (15 - 20% Nitro) fuel at your local hobby store.

Check serial number on the side of the radio box, if less then 11000, read the sticky about washer and do as it suggests.

Read the engine break in info closely and follow it.

Buy a good rechargable reciever pack, or buy stock in your favorite AA battery.

Also get a fail safe....dont touch no engine settings and run it by the book and you should be fine....

also look at getting alloy diff cases as soon as she is ran in....

Enjoy...

Ok i am totaly green here. Fail Safe? What does that do? Why do I need alloy diff cases? Did I say I was green

Right the failsafe will put the brakes on due to interference or low battery which will stop your LST running away out of control until it hits something.....i don't run ant nitro truck without one. The plastic diff cases crack very easy and can cause damage to your gears, the alloy cases don't..

both will save you money in the long run.....
