Picked up a nitro rc someone was throwing out, and i want to get it running again. I have close to no knowledge with nitro rc cars although i do i work with motorcycles so i understand the basics of the motor. i know it is a traxxas but not sure of the model. any answers would help a lot. Also from the looks of it, i think it is missing a pull start and a receiver? like i said, i have no idea how to start or use it, and have no idea exactly what it is missing. My problem is that I don't know where to begin with it.. Any help at all would be greatly appreciated.
It looks like it will need a glow plug ingniter and it is a bump-start which requires a a starter box (which is used in place of a pull-start). It's an older model, I'm just not sure which one. You might want to look into a fail-safe to prevent a run-away or a newer 2.4 GHz radio which includes the fail-safe and is less prone to "glitching" than the older 27 MHz radio you show in the picture.
