IS NITRO WORTH IT???
 

Having spent £300 on my shiny new REX-X, used it twice, it has now completely ballsed up! I have tried everything possible to get it to start with no luck. I feel like chucking the pi**ing thing in the bin, and if my LHS cant find a solution next week, I think I probably will!!!!

yes nitro is worth it. my first nitro was a used rc10gt with a os15cvx in it and it didn't run or start or do anything except give me bloody knuckles from the head being so sharp. found out it had no compression so i put in a new piston and sleeve. still didn't work. almost chucked it like you but i stayed with itand replaced the engine. now i am up to 3 trucks and can't believe how much more enjoyable this hobby is without having to replace a battery pack every 5 minutes.

well worth it.

hmm, see this is the kind of stuff i was hearing at the track which convinced me to go with the ofna ultra mbx pro.


anyway, what is the issue?

Where did you get your MBX Pro from? I am thinking of getting one for my wife from TowerHobbies.com

It does not look like the one of OFNA's website.....

Which one did you get?

Stay with it, man. Its not always easy to figure these things out, but stay strong. you'll have a blast as you learn more

RE: IS NITRO WORTH IT???
 

Yes. No expensive chargers, escs, batteries... It all adds up, and unless you NEED reverse, nitro is the way to go. In the end, it can be cheaper unless you buy an overpriced car to begin with. Or an overpriced charger to charge your reciever/transmitter packs:).

Hey!

I've got nitro with reverse :P

OK, so it tends to cost a little more, but meh ;)

study session, mine looks like the one on ofna's site not towers, i got it from a local hobby store for 330 out the door.\

Whats the problem? Prime engine, turn engine over and ur off :)

Unless you have a flat glow warmer, blown plug etc... then it can take some time to start that engine hehehehehe A glow warmer with a meter is a BIG HELP. It will tell you straight away u have glow problems or not.

How are you starting it? you are getting fuel to the engine first arnt you?

RE: IS NITRO WORTH IT???
 

i have found that nitro is about the same in cost in electrics BUT is harder to learn i reccomend byeing a cheap second hand car to start with to learn about tuneing fual mix and so forth and if u screw it no Bigge :)

I went ahead and bought my wife a Hyper 7 PBS.
