Nitro RC Cars 1/10 Two Speed Nitro Gas Power Car for Adults - Fast Drift 4WD 80KM/H Metal Chassis Gas Off Road Short Course Truck (Black)

Igniter works fine. Car starts easy and holds a tune very well. For all you idiots out there if your car is tuned correctly so it can rev high enough it will shift into second gear but if you have a bad tune it will never shift. I break in my nitros with nitro that has 14 % oil and then mix 20% and 30 % nitro so I get a 25% nitro with 9% oil (cheaper to mix and more available this way)and tune them and never have any issues at all and all my nitros hold their tunes and last a long time. If I dont plan on starting them I pull the plug and spray wd40 on top of piston so it doesn't start to rust. The nitro will condense and leave water droplets that will turn into rust if left for to long. This way I dont have problems to worry about. Also pinch your fuel line to turn off the motor because when you put finger over exhaust like many people do to shut it down it leaves fuel in the cylinder wich can rust. When you pinch the fuel line it starves it for fuel by running it out and therefor leaves the cylinder dry. What really makes this car easy to own is get an electric rotory starter and ditch the cheap rope pull start. The other thing with a nitro motor is if you heat up the motor with a blow dryer or head heater or anykind of heater it will fire up so easy it will make your head spin. The tolerances on these nitro motors are so tight that when cold are hard to crank over but the heat from blow dryer loosens it up and let's it crank easier and ignite easier because its up to temp plus this will give you many more hours of life on your motor because it eliminates those cold cranking starts. The blow dryer trick will amaze anyone who has never used it before and it will make nitro so much easier especially for the beginner who doesn't have much time dealing with these motors. Trick works for regular two stoke motors also. Makes starting them a breeze too.

Wish I could rate it lower. I've spent more time fixing this car than I have playing with it. The engine itself is honestly fine, it ran great, held a tune, no problems other than the rear seal failing after about 2 weeks. After about 2 days the gearbox wouldn't go into second gear anymore. After about a week the throttle servo failed.. it failed 3 times in the span of 2 months. In the same week the steering servo horn broke from driving over a crack.. so I 3D printed a new one and it never broke again. This car eats through front axles for some reason. I replaced the front axle 3 times and even tried limiting the steering angle to almost nothing and it still just tore through the axle. In the end I had enough and ended up just smashing it on the ground and stomping it into nothing out of anger. Waste of $300+.

Just like the r/c Nitro i use to have as a kid !! Like a couple of comments saud just got to be patient and know what your doing and this thing will RIPP for you on the streets !!!

Do NOT buy this product. I bought for myself to enjoy for relaxation and it just didn’t work. I try returning and was told I can not return or exchange it. Waste of money and waste of time. I took it to the professional to fix and they told me it was trash and they couldn’t even start it. End up spending more money on this trash product. They need to pull this product off the line.

I see so many bad reviews on this car, but I actually bought two because it’s actually a good car what people don’t understand is you don’t just turn it on and start driving it you have to tune the engine first and one of the problems people probably have is just because you put gas inside the gas tank that doesn’t mean there’s gas in the engine. You have to push gas in the engine by blowing the tube that goes to the muffler.

I Don't know why there are all these reviews saying it was such a bad car and the motor didn't start blah blah blah very fast car this is my first nitro car and I watched some videos on some websites I used AI to ask a bunch of questions I was unshare of and if you pay attention to those videos and read the user manual and do the break in process the right way and you figure out very easily how to tune it for it to idle correctly which was very easy took a few pulls to get it started the first time but once I got it started and dialed in for the break-in process it ran great on the second tank no problem much so ever very fast car if it's your first car and you leave it in the beginner mode or the intermediate mode definitely a good choice just pay attention do the right steps and don't think it's just an electric car grab it put the battery in and go there's a process

Couldn’t get it to start don’t recommend and they won’t let me return it

I took it to a hobby shop to have them break it in. They ended up being too busy but did start the process and I saw the car running. After I took the car back home to continue and finish the break in the package provided ignited wouldn’t not start the car at all. The shop used their own to start it there. Well a day or so later I tried again after insuring the igniter had a full charge and still got nothing. I pulled the glow plug out to make sure it wasn’t a faulty plug and it wasn’t lighting so I’m guessing the igniter is defective. Then a day later the charger fell from the hearth in front of the fire place to the ground and it fell to pieces so now I have to replace that as well. Low quiality accessories for something I spend almost $300 for.
