I bought this and the nitro R/C starter kit. Will I need anything else (filter oil, etc) for him to be able to use the car on Christmas morning?

My recommendation will be, to get with someone that knows about nitro cars, in order to break the engine properly, and set it up as recommended, then it becomes very easier to handle it, have fun, it a good car for beginners, in case you are one, and charge the plug for 24hrs!

The plug (not sure the technical name) needs to be charged for 24 hours prior to use.

Everything needed to get started except fuel and bar oil. Mine even came with a chain bar wrench even though this is a tool free design.

Hello Jennifer!The Car only works with nitro that you can find in specialized hobby stores. Do not use normal gasoline, it can break your Car. Good Luck!

This turbo is undersized for your application. You'd reach full boost trying to start your car. This is more suited for a 0.12-0.15 nitro motor.

This truck takes a mixture of unleaded fuel and 2 stroke oil. I would say when you buy this truck you should get him a one gallen fuel can so he can mix the gas and oil. The mixture ratio is in the instructions and very easy to follow. I use premium unleaded gas in mine. This truck is a lot of fun and if he likes speed he will love it. Make sure to change the batery pack that controls the receiver and your throttle and steering. It is important that you make sure to get some blue lock tite and use it on all the screws and bolts before you run the truck for the first time.

That is the one downside to this awesome buggy... hard to find parts. This website has them but shipping is absurd. http://www.nitrorcx.comApparently the LC Racing buggy is identical and you can use those parts. Never tried it myself.

Sorry it took so long to get back with you. Son did the installation on the car. He said one bracket for the ecu and the fuse box. And the other bracket was for the battery and the coolant overflow. It comes with everything that you need. My son wants you to know that the filter sits extremely low, practically on the bottom on the bumper. But other than that great kit, great cold air intake, highly recommended. Let me know if you have any other questions.

Powermaster rc nitro fuel 20% Works best for me for this car. Just be careful not to wreck the new ride getting parts for this is a waiting process Because you can only buy replacement parts online. Cool car though we love ours til the last time we wrecked it :-)

comes with everything you need. just fuel. stick with 20 percent fuel if you want the most life out of your engine and be patient with breaking it in (the car will consistantly keep shutting off when its new, just be patient)

Everything you need is include. The transmitter takes 1 9V battery, the car takes 4 AA batteries and the starter motor uses a rechargable NiMH battery included with the kit. This car is awesome but I ruined the first engine because I didn't follow the proper breakin procedure.Find a large parking lot and follow the breakin instructions perfectly. Squeeze the throttle gently for the first 10 runs and do not run at wide open throttle until the engine is completely broken in. I replaced the engine and have run in every couple of days for the last year without any troubles.

Actually I returned mine to Mutch heat soak from engine and hot weather u actually lose power cold air intake from prl is ok or wait ct cold air icebox stock is better. I just put the kn filter in my stock intake for now.

K&N says no but it is highly recommended. It wont damage anything without a tune but youll get the most out of it with one. If you just have this intake and the rest of the car is stock, the computer will try and re-learn the Air/fuel ratio and adjust automatically. But again, its always HIGHLY recommended to get a tune in search of power.

Nitro uses coils up front if he wants to lift the front use the daystar lift kit. Sky jacks will only fit the rear.

Yep it's ready to run. You need fuel and igniter. Very fun I love mine. Sorry I forgot you need batteries 4 AA for truck and 8 AA for controller. I would suggest thread lock and remove screws on bottom and put thread lock on them because they will come loose after a while. Have fun.
