    The wire is exposed from rubbing on the top of the engine, but I don't see anything wrong with the wires..

    Forget the EZ-start glow plug heater. Pick up a hand held glow plug heater, they work great with the EZ-start.

    when I still had my truggy and buggy. Its all about maintenance. Every time I raced when I got back home I would clean it check the plug and fuel lines and fuel filter, clean air filter and oil it, burn the nitro inside the engine then 1-2 drop of after run. The one hour mains are more fun than the 10 min mains they would run here. Every couple of races, check bearings, diffs etc... Never had an issue, they would start right up next time. Temps do not change that drastically here so tuning was not much of an issues.

    but... if I get back to the hobby I would go either gas (check HPI's new 1/8 gas engine) or electric. Love Nitro but fuel price is pretty crazy

    If you want to get into crawling, pick up either the Axial Dingo, Honcho, or Wraith

    you would probably never see a 2nd gen Tacoma as Toyota doesn't release their designs

    There was somebody who made Tacoma grille stickers on RCCrawler

    Yeah, and that sucks. Not that long ago you could get almost any brand truck shell, (for stadium trucks) Ford, Chevy, Dodge and even Toyota and Nissian. Now, for the most part there all ugly as ass. I lucked up and found a new in package, Proline Chevy (not my fav, but still better than anything else IMO). So I at least have a spare.
