There all expensive, it's the nature of Nitro, 75% Work, 15% Money, 10% Fun. But to just say one thing, I have a Volcano SV and I run it regularly with little to no problems out of it, it always starts, it takes a beating like no ones business, I've even ran it on purpose with out the air filter and it still sruns scratched up cylinders and all, I've run it lean on purpose and it just keeps on ticking. Yes I've broke stuff, but it happens, yes, I upgraded the Front and Rear A-Arms to aluminum (no I haven't borken the plastic parts they are hooked to), Yes I changed my clutch bell and spring, but it is more reliable than the Rustler I had before it, I can count on my volcano to start and tear up dirt.


You need to check your fuel system for air leaks, check your exhaust manifold gasket is not broken, check that the bolts are tight, no leaks in the fuel tank lid, check the needles on the carb aren't loose, turn your throttle trim up a bit, give it a bigger gap in the carb, prime the engine alittle bit by putting a few drops of fuel in the carb. When you put it up did you run the engine out of fuel, did you use after run oil?
