For out and out bashing Monster Trucks FTW....take heaps of abuse and can go over just about anything !

Pure speed on dirt = 1/8th scale buggy

Tips ;

Break it in correctly.
Don`t thrash it cold.
Use 15+% nitro ...if not 20% with a good synth blend oil
Don`t let your fuel go stale, cap everything imediately...only takes minutes to stale fuel on a hot day, stale fuel will run like dog and cook engine !
Install fuel filter, won`t come with one out of box
Learn everything you can about tuning !...then learn some more !
Don`t stick to an OS8 plug when you thrashing....use novarossi plugs.
Buy high capacity rechargables and good smart charger straight off...no excuse for loss of control because of low shitty alkaline batts
FM digital radios rock !


And it ain`t fun unless it flies !...and you get it on film
