Germy, when you get into the nitro, the most important things to do are break the motor in correctly (let a good shop tune it for break in) and run a few drops of "after run" oil through the motor. I blow mine off with compressed air after every run and check for things coming loose. They always do. If you get a boat get one with a "return to shore" electric motor so you can bring it in when you run out of fuel way out there! there are soem cars that realy haul. Be careful as not being used to them can get expensive in parts and frustrating when you break the fronty end after 5 minutes of play! Invest in some proper tool s and lots of front end parts and an assortment of fasteners ans screws,c-clips and such. Something always breaks on me, I run em hard, thats why I got em. But taking care of the motors is a key to keeping them going.

The nitro RC cars are cool. I have a neighbor that hads a few. He hads even put some og the fuel in his weed eater. Can't open the thottle all the way. That thing may come apart. I like to try the RC planes someday, maybe a chopper.
