Status: offline 		congrats. yes there are many parts you are going to need in no paticular order. shock towers, shocks, rims and tires , clutches, glow plugs, batteries, all dogbones they break pop out and bend, 1spd tranny with 1 spd clutch bell housing if you have the 2 spd, you really don't need the 2 spd and it will most likely break by the time you get your buggy tuned and assortment of screws nuts and the like, and any other part that breaks. Unfortunately these cars are fun, but break all the time. also everytime you order a part get extra of that part and another random part that you think you might need in the future. HAVE FUN

I wouldn't say they are as bad as he says. If you take the appropriate precautions from teh get go, you won't have that many problems. When you get it, go over the whole car and locktight every single metal to metal screw (that's a number one move on any nitro car), take a sliver of fuel line or fish tank tubing and place it in the drive cups at the end of the dog bones (do it on all the drive dogs, that run the wheels), just a small sliver, enough to take up some of the slack so the dog bones aren't flopping around in the drive cups(that's a number two move on any nitro with dog bones), Do a radio check put your batteries in the transmitter and reciever have someone hold the front wheels off the ground and walk away workign the steering and throttle in some sort of sequence that's the same and walk about oh maybe 50 yards away, there should be no twitching, or irratic movement from the servos, if there is then you need to begin walking in towards the car till it stops and that's your radio distance(number three move on all RTRs) it should be farther than 50 yards though no problem. Now once you have done those things, Read and print these:

Quick Start User Guide(it's for Redcat but it doesn't matter they are all the same exact cars anyway):

Engine Tuning Guide(works on any engine):

If you have any more questions let me know.

Status: offline 		These tanks must be small real small, from what I can tell, this will come with a 75c tank now that makes about 0.079156 of a quart, which would mean a quart will do 12 full tanks. How long will each tank of gas last in one run ?
Whats the best glowplug to get for this .18 CXP motor ?
Thanks a lot for the info as well

Be carefull and start slow. if you are not used to driveing these biggies take your time. i was amazed at how fast they will go on pavement. i think around 35-40 miles an hour. have fun.

ROTFLMAO, ya that's a shock when they just take off all of a sudden. Imagine my dismay when my Hurricane went full throttle out of control into a brick wall, LOL.

It's a miss-translation it should day 55-60 KPH it's actually 35-40 MPH. But still believe me it is still CRAZY fast.

Status: offline 		You mean the small slivers of fuel line in the drive cups. On your buggy there are upper control arms that are actually canter adjusters or on the lower part of the hub carriers there are pins with E-clips on the ends of them. The easiest way I found is to remove the Eclip from one end of the pin (carefully, they will fly across the room) and push the pin out, that way you can swing the whole hub up and out of the way. Do one axle at a time and just make a small slice of fuel line, make sure the axles are not bound up on the upward travel when you get each axle back together, you only want enough in each drive cup to take up the slack not bind up the axle.
