Ok! I got it fellas it ran great, and that damn thing is pretty fast, but I have one more question>1 can they drive backwards, and is there something I can do to keep it from running by it self when I turn it on, or do I just have to hold the brake all the time.
And thanks for everyone's help you guys has been very helpfull.
you have to tune the engine so that when then engine is idling and the car does not move.. use the idle needle on the engine to tune the idling rpm (read car manual throughly if you have one). if that is not done you can really wear down your clutch shoes as well as your break pads if you have them. my plastic clutch melted when i messed up in this department.
edit: here is a very nice guide and FAQ on how to maintain your engine.
