You will most likely have to order all replacement parts from the web, I haven't seen any hobby shops that carry schumacher parts.

Radio Control Nitro Magazine tested it out in their March issue. You should pick it up.

my lhs carries schumacher parts. The fusion is incredibly fast but a little unstable at top speed.

Hey Muddy That might be kind of hard to do because of the starting system used on the car. You can remove it just like any other back plate but I am not sure if it would fit another motor made by a different company. Also you dont want to put too powerful of an engine in their because you cant adjust the shift points on the tranny. If you do get one get rid of those rubber kit tires and get some foam tires they will give you better traction than rubber tires when the temperature is above 60 degrees.

why drive nitro? because you get along run time, after the intial investment it is cheaper and it is usually faster in box stock trim.

Casey DDS -I run at Lincoln middle school in Pike township if you want to run. But your monster pirate only has atop end of about 40miles an hour and your 4 tech if it is a 2.5 might do 57 miles an hour. My fusion will do about 70-75 miles an hour!

not really indy stinks man, nothing here at all. the Races are extremely boring, but living here I guess they arent such a big deal. The citizens get way bent outta shape about it, if you dont care bout the race they go all phsycho "HOW CAN YOU NOT LIK TRADITION, DONT YOU LIKE YOUR FAMILY" kinda thing. I went to Kansas City once, was bout 1 minute into Kansas to go to concert. SO much nicer than indy.. Indy is all suburbs for most part and small houses, with lots of ghetto sections.

CaseyDDR I had it set right I have been in this hobby since the early 1970 I know how to tune an engine and how to modify them too! There is no way a box stock nova rossi going to do that! How many ports does it have?

CaseyDDR The fusion has been clocked at 75 miles an hour by RC CAR ACTION magazine the guy doing the review felt that if they had a longer strip it would reach 80-85 miles an hour. But you did not answer my question how many ports do you have in your motor? How much nitro do you burn and what is your gear ratio?
