-Make sure your airfilter is zip tied extra tight.
-Make sure your batteries are zip tied onto the battery holder
-Make sure you install a failsafe
-When in doubt use fresh batteries
-Always use After Run Oil if you expact not to run your car for more than a few days
-Never leave fuel in the tank. Empty it when your done running for the day.
-Dont lean out the engine too much
-And most importantly....HAVE FUN!!!!

Thanks for the advice.

So I don't destroy the car the first time out, how do they react in the air? I used to race motocross, so I would assume its similar, thottle will raise the front, and brakes will loer the front???? Also, I was told to never land on the gas. Is that true?

 

[robriguez]

I dont know about landing on the gas but an RC in the air will react exactly as you said. The difference is that since the tires on a buggy are so light and thin they have little effect. If you put some big ass tires on one (like in my sig) or if you have a monstrer truck the rotational mass of the tires is much much greater so gas/brake in the air has a much greater effect.

 

[madramper]

I plan on getting some big wheels. Yours looks awsome! Are you using the foam in them? Are they glued?

 

[robriguez]

Always glue your tires....especially on a buggy.

As a general rule of thumb I say if your going to be jumping foams are a must!!!! Foams=even softer landing=less broken suspension parts.

I think he is saying the rope refers to get a rope and hang yourself for living in Jersey. I put 30 years in, and left for Phoenix. I come back every few years to make sure it was the right decision.

 

[robriguez]

28 years and counting for me... Jerzy aint bad. Been all over the country...(England and Canada too) can't say theres anyplace else that has as much to offer as Jerzy does. Just about ANYTHING you want to do is within an hour drive.

LA, Chicago, and Atlanta come close but there just not the same. I'm a city boy and dont think I could ever deal with the slow pace everywhere else in the country. But thats just me.

[Team 17]

Where is barnstormers? Robriguez and I would make the trip. U are only 40 minutes or so away.

 

[RiceLaxer06]
