cool man thanks for your reply, makes me feel alot better. when i first decided to buy a nitro, it was cuz a couple of my cousins husband had them at the 4th july get together LOL so after about a week of thinking, i was like I WANT ONE but i didn't reliaze how sensitive these motors where till after i done had mine and been reading on these forums and stuff. i guess i'm just scared i'll be one of these newbies that blow up after a gallon or two ( which by the way i have already gotten 3/4 of a gallon guzzled up HEHE )
