Dont blame the manufacturer because of your inexperience. It is RTR, but you have to break in the engine slowly and you absolutely have to know what to listen for and how to tune when you are running a nitro.
Im not dogging you, we were all there once, but you have to be patient when breaking in a nitro engine. Once you get it broken in, you will be having a ball. Nitro's are kind of for the person who likes to tinker some.
This might give you some motivation. Its my old XTM XT2 with the XTM 24.7 engine. It was a blast to run it, and I kind of regret selling it, but I have an Ofna Ultra LX pro coming and I have another XTM 24.7 to put in it. They are awesome engines. Very easy to tune with lots of RPM and plenty of torque. You can see how well the engine runs and idles even in below freezing temperatures.
