Default other necessities, accessories, and shiznizzle

Ok, my Hyper 7pro with Force .28 came today. have a fuel bottle, stand, and a few extra glow plugs already. Need to pick up some filter oil, threadlock, fuel , etc.

what other accessories do you guys reccomend I need to pick up, and should I run 20% fuel?

Thanks.

I like to use 25% nitro, one very important thing you should get is a good temp. gage. You will need a glow plug igniter. and im sure a few more things i can't think of. ooh how about a starter box or does that thing have a roto starter.

How about a radio, receiver and servos?

Extra airfilters, a 6V humppack and sparebatteries for the tx.

Different sets of tires.

A starterbox is a very nice thing to have.

25% nitro seems to be a very good compromise.

ok, I already had the radio. The motor is a pullstart Force .28. Do I still need a glow plug igniter? Will it be a biatch to start without one? As far as the temp guage goes, I know its for checking the temp range of the engine, but what exactly do I need to do?

I am going to order some street tires because I see myself running this on the pavement the most. have the batteries and packs I need, plus the cutout.

When I ordered this from Nitrohouse, I told the salesman to give me everything I needed to put this together, as I don't know what it comes with. I pretty much left it an open sale for him to add things on there, which apparently he didn't. Sooooo, off to the local hobby store to get dif oil, threadlock, wheel glue, etc. and of course I ttok the streetbike and got caught in a downpour on the way back!

UM yeah it will probaly be extremely difficult to start without a ignitor it will not start at all actually. As for checking the temps check at the glow plug and temps should be between 220 and 250
