Status: offline 		it was my first nitro. its easy to use/tune, and there are loads of spares/hop ups to make the car unique. if u want an all out racer truck, there are others like the rc10gt or evader, but for a decent nitro for a first timer, id say that the rush is top notch.

Status: offline 		Hi everyone..i am new to this forum. I brought a yokomo gt 4 about a year ago but it died on the first day and yokomo wouldnt fix it..crap customer care. So i had a break from rc cars and about a couple of weeks ago i brought a rush evo. It had it static for the first 3 tanks of fuel. Came to tunning it and the engine just wouldnt have it. It just reved and reved. Hpi took it back for 3 weeks to fix it..something wrong with the clutch i was told. I have had it back for a week and it WAS running perfect. I raced it with a friend who has a mad force and my little rush kept up with it on acceleration and then pulled away a coulpe of car lengths towards the top end..I was suprised to say the least considering it has a 3 speed .21 engine. Then thses last couple of days i tried to re - tune the car because it was starting to accelerate really slow, making loads of rpm but going about 10 mph flat out. hpi had set the settins back to standard, so all i had to do was follow the dvd they give you. Its gone down hill again. The car is revving really high and cuts out when the breaks are appiled or sometimes even when you let go of the accelerator!! . In an attempt to adjust some of the settings and servo arms (as stated in manual) the throttle servo arm which goes on to the bolt which turns the carb open has snapped. (not the acutally arm the bit where the arm goes on to the ball joint)

Can anyone give any advice on fixing this??

Status: offline 		lol my cousin had a rush and it was so funny because i got a savage 21 like 5 days later and we went out bashing and his would never get going but finally we figured out that it had a hole in the fuel line so then we fixed that and we started racing around our track and we hit eachother and the engine mounts on his truck broke ya you guys are probably thinking **** but im seriuos lol it was so funny we hit so hard but luckally there were engine mounts for it at the hobby shop so he was ready to go by the next day.

Status: offline 		My first nitro was an original Rush that I got about 5 years ago and other then the weak frame that HPI replaced with the up graded frame like on the Evo Rush it has been a great truck. I up graded to the HPI .15 SS which is a much faster and better motor then the .15 FE that came in it as well as some other hop ups. I do not run it much any more as I run my MT Racer and Savage more now. But I did run it a little over a week ago and it still runs great. As far as grease in the gearbox I use differential grease. Watch out as some grease is not compatible with plastic!!!!!
