About a month ago I purchased a Nitro Rustler. I have been happy with it so far but I don't have much to compare it to because it is my first RC car. I do, however, have many questions. I have tried to seek help at my local hobby store with little luck. The kids that work there seem to have little interest in answering my questions. When they do try to answer them I quickly find that they don't know any more than I do.

My questions are: How do I even know what to do to make an improvement in performance? Where can I learn which type of spring or weight of oil is best for the conditions in which I operate? Who can explain why this is so? What specifically will each upgrade do to improve performance? Why? What are some things I need to consider before upgrading?

I really would appreciate and value any input.

Thanks


Joe
