thats hot shit dude. seriously!

if you need some advice on tuning it let me or Kaan know. i have been in RC for over a decade and pretty much seen it all. i've done off road buggies and stadium trucks, as well as touring cars. i actually just sold my nitro stadium truck a couple months ago and hald to chuck a full gallon of 20% nitro down the drain bc i couldnt find anyone to give it to :x .

right off the bat
use loctite on EVERYTHING. those bitches will shake themselves to peices in a few hours.

if it doesn't have one....put a return spring on the throttle. if you go out of radio range it can be painful to watch your car, at full balls out throttle, take off as an unguided missle. to give you an idea of the force these cars carry, my truck hit a parked car's tire at half speed and it bent the braced-aluminum chassis down the middle at a good 20 degree angle.

bleeding the shocks will be time consuming and generally piss you off. be ready for that.

your mind will be blown at the tunability of these things. have fun, and if you're like me, look forward to years of fascination and fun with these things (not to mention a new addiction to spending money on the latest CNC'ed bulkhead or carbon fiber shock tower....). you will have no trouble finding people or groups to race besides your buddies, just search a bit.

:edit: just read your full post, i see you have it assembled....rock on. and remember to be a good boy and break in the motor geennttllyy try trimming the throttle on your radio back by a good 50% to start so you don't get too out of control, haha. if this is your first car, which i think it is....take it slow. at 65 mph its easy to forget which way the car will turn depending on if its going away or towards you.

my nitro truck, thing had insane acceleration


.12 cc's sucka! also had a high torque steering servo and some bling RPM suspension arms and reciever box.
