any type of glow igniter will work but i would suggest a rechargeable one.

true...the chaos is a pain.


if you wanna go mini as your first nitro, look at the xray vehicles like the nt18t or nt18mt.

Status: offline 		when you get a chaos, you take a gamble, sometimes you have luck, sometimes you get hell, mostly with diffs, and let me tell you fixing diffs suck.

to be safe, get a 1/10 scale nitro, they are better made, faster and more versitile, something like a hpi MT or a duratrax evader will do.

i have always used 20% and it is my favorite, use byrons race 2000, it is the best fuel i have ever used.

Status: offline 		I had good luck with mine until i ran it offroad on my track at my house and then from jumping it the pinion gears in the front and rear stripped because you have to stay on the gas when in the air or it nose dives and lands on the front bumper and flips. It is great when just ran on smooth pavement, but what is the point in having a 4 wheel drive buggy if all you are going to do is run onroad. And the outdrives need CA glued on because they strip also.

You should really read the Chaos thread on here. People have had all sorts of problems with the difss and motors. If you get one you need to run 30% fuel, the little motors can handle 20% but 30% is a better fuel for the little nitro motors.

Status: offline 		That would be a good choice. Make sure you get it at amainhobbies.com they have the best price for the KMI 09. I would still use 30% nitro in it.

You will want to use 30% nitro and the only glow plugs that work with the motor are made by Kyosho.
