I have only had my rc10gt for about a month and I have been starting it by removing the air filter and putting a little nitro fuel directly into the carb. It is a pull start and it will start in 2 pulls if I prime it this way. If I don't do this it takes about 50 pulls to start it even if I try to prime it by plugging the exhaust hole for a few pulls. The only negitive I see by this method is that you can't zip tie on your air filter unless you want to constantly be cutting the tie, but I could be wrong. I guess my main question is, is this bad for the car? And is there another way to prime it without taking off the air filter?

Thanks
