Great job. Thing is, pipe tyres will make your motor over-rev. You may damage the engine. Get a buggy/on road wheel conversion set and HPI drift tyres and save your engine
i thought about this and ran the motor's high end needle a little richer but to keep the low end torque i leaned out the low speed needle a little bit, maybe like an 8th of a turn...

i also noticed that the hyper 21 engine that i have in it (which is almost gone anyway, i should be getting a new motor soon...), had more than enough power to turn the wheels with not even a quarter of the throttle... so i think that i am just gonna make the low speed needle richer an 8th of a turn and just run the high speed needle a little rich just to be on the safe side. the thing ran great and i kept on using my temp guage like every 2 minutes or so just to make sure the motor wasn't running at a rediculous temp. and the motor was running at about 200 degrees the whole time...

SWEET im takin my drift buggy out for a spin tomorrow!!!

o yea and i could never go electric i love everything when it comes to nitro... (except the drive to the hobby shop to get more fuel haha)
