dude u live in Louisiana take a drive to Hobby town usa in Tyler tx (3-5 hours) and ask for tyler the car guy (thats me)
il pull out my sport and show you how they do it in Texas
and as for hop ups fr the sport buy a small peice of Al and make u a bug block engine adapter
it is really simple to do and u can get more low end power
if u want speed put sumthing like a .12 in it higher rpm= more speed

wait, what?
explain that again using a bit more time typing.

i think i was drunk cause i dont remember that srry dude

i have not long converted my traxxas nitro sport to pullstart from ez start ,it was second hand when purchased but had only been used twice ,ive had it running the only problem being it goes o.k for a few mins then when i slow down from full throttle it cuts out and is a pain to start again because it always seems to be flooding.
i put a new glowplug in it ran okay{a fair bit of smoke coming from the exaust}but when it cuts out there seems to be alot of exess fluid in the exaust, help

lean low end needle.
