Well your keys words are "if you are good".......I am new to this hobby, and that in itself speaks for itself. It seems to take me forever to get it running. I am not sure why, but I usually takes 10-15. Sometimes its more of a pain in *****. Once its running its a ton of fun, I bought a nitro buggy (1/8) and a 4x4 truck (1/10) for my son so its fun to do together!
