Wow nothing like a 3 year old thread to scare the crap out of a newb. I just bought my first nitro, I'll have it on Friday. Is starting a nitro really that hard, I mean how many adjustments can you make. This is the 3rd thread I've read on internet where it took someone a month to get their car started. Anyways I bought a hpi mt2 4wd paid a little over $200 and that's with shipping. Any hint or tips anyone has on what to do with the truck first thing (other than read manual and watch DVD).
