Well, the first thing you want to do is visit the Car Forums. This is the Airplane forums.
I'll move this thread over there for you.

RE: new to this hobby
but back on subject now.
there is so much to know about these cars that your question is almost too broad to answer. Were you looking for driving tips, cleaning, break in, tuning, or just everything?
check out this guy:

not all of his videos are relevant, but there are some that are extremely helpful

The revered SOD! Aside from mags and Chris Chainelli's RC show on DIY channel, as soon as I discovered u-toob, SOD was also another source of RC information I found excellent!
Yes, watch his vids, do a search and you can find him giving instructions on how to tuen an engine, break one in, rebuilt one, tune your chassis suspension, what each chassis set-up does, and then some. His instructional vids are great and are some of the best instructions for beginner and novice RCers to learn from.

Yes Chris, we all know that. GlassBullett posted his comment after the thread was moved, as a joke I assumed. I was simply continuing the fun. No harm was intended and, I hope, none was taken.
