Yes it is a nitro buggy. Kyosho MP 7.5 and 777. Should I use the starter box or just by hand?
Thank you.

one piece of advice. NEVER buy a fuel tank with a primer on it. they just start leaking air and you get lots of problems

Or get this, which is a primer and a filter.

Pull the pressure line off the tuned pipe and blow into it until you see fuel hit the carb.

Yes, tower hobbies have them, they are wonderful.

I replaced my tank primer with a screw and "O" ring, and use an Associated/Thunder Tiger primer...
