Hey every1, i was looking to get a good gas Rc and i was looking for some suggestions, and it has to meet 3 requirements,
1) It has to be RTR
2) I want SPEEEEEEED, as fast as possible out of box
3) I want on-road car, no off-road
I was thinking maybe the RTR Nitro RS4 3 Evo from HPI or the Yokomo GT-4 RTR II
Any comment/suggestions? O and whats the difference between the GT-4 RTR I and the GT4-RTR II

Naw i think they still make them. Go to the forums on www.traxxas.com and talk to those guys. Very nice. And check www.towerhobbies.com and see if they sell it still.

Gas (duh) make sure you keep getting the same %. I would get 20% nitro fuel. Batters for the transmitter and the reciver battery. If it doesn't have a pull starter you will need to get a starter box.

Ok steve EXCLUDING gas, i KNEW that, batteries are no problem, and i think the yokomo AND hpi are both pull start, but whats this glow igniter thing i keep reading about?

o and does the percentage make a difference? can i like get 100% nitro gas lol
Howielong

Nop one 10, 15 20% nitro i use 20 like i said. A glow ingnater will warm the glow pulg up when starting. You are going to need one.

when you have yur car just a little hint, especially if its pull start, never leave fuel in the tank, it gets really hard to start after a couple weeks of not being used, i learned the hard way

Hey every1, my car is being shippied as we speak, i was just wondering, how do i got fuel out of the fuel tank, other then driving it, and is it ok to leave fuel in the carberator? if not, how do i get that out also?
