    It's been a year since I last ran it. Patience is out of the question at this point. I'm thinking more along the lines of going to the empire state building and throwing this thing off the top of it..:rolleyes:

    so the ez start motor isn't even turning the engine over at all?

    Are you priming the tank before you try to fire it up? If you haven't touched the needles yet, don't be afraid to lean it out a little to help make it start up.

    I have raced these cars for years. Nitro is not a good way to get into it. Going with a SC truck is best to start with then move up. I personal run all nitro and do a lot of traveling racing these things. It's a lot of fun when you get the tuning down:) just found this forum and found the R/C first..lol

    Just bought my 07 Tacoma and love it!!!!!
