    Glow plug? No compression? I don't really know much about nitro cars. I've strayed away from them for this exact reason haha.

    that would be easy to do if my dad hadn't needed to use the bench I was using to work on the thing. He tossed the car on the ground, upside down no less, and I haven't seen the body nor the exhaust itself since. He also ****ed up my steering, which I finally got fixed.

    My 2.5 cranks slow when you haven't used it in a while, but a tiny squirt of wd-40 in the cylinder speeds it right up.(helping pull gas from the tank to the carb) Also putting your finger over the exhaust while cranking is known as a priming technique. With those two things done, mine starts up in seconds.

    the nitros sound best when mounted on a bench and u rev it F1 ftw! (pop goes the rod soon after). Sounded great though.

    I has this. 53" any idiot can fly helicopter. Bunny ate the charger so until I buy another charger it sits.

    Tamiya twin detonator. fried the MSC , going twin brushless, but the lrp system I have wont even let me finish programming so it sits doing nothing until I figure out if I fried the receiver or the system I got is ****.

    Xtm mammoth nitro I used to have. Custom aluminum roll cage, alum parts all over. 2.6hp motor 1/4? scale buggy wheels adapter to it etc etc. Thats the motor I made the F1 sound with, after that I ordered a O.S. engine, put it in, then parted it out. WHY i did that I dunno. Thing was indestructible.

    This is way cool. I've always been a huge boat guy. I had a few cheaper RC boats when I was younger.. and I broke all of them within a few weeks haha.

    Sounds like fun. I'm still waiting on my first boat. It might be a few years but i'd like a ~16ft Bayliner runabout. I/O or outboard I haven't decided yet.

    heres a tip for boats, what ever you think is big enough, well its not. i wound up getting a 24 foot cuddy cabin walk around, it was good for 3 adults fishing, 4 made it tight for sure. after spending 8 hours or aka all day on the water, you wish it was bit bigger all the time lol

    bigger the boat, the smoother the ride too, that 14 footer busted us all up pretty good if the water got rough.

    so i guess everyone knows bayliners suck lol they rock back and fourth more then any other boat out there when drifting or anchored up, even tied to a dock they rock a lot.

    also heard of the tops coming off the hulls.

    They have a very poor quality build. They use cheap materials. We have a few at the marina that are like 5 years old. The interior is falling apart and the rear eyelets are pulling out
