smithy1135 Posted December 17, 2007 Share Posted December 17, 2007 Well, i race every 3 weeks or so and i do 3x5 minute heats and then either a 20, 15 or 10 minute final depending how good i do in the heats. Fixing while im there is usually around 10 minutes worth all day but it just depends on your luck really. I spend more time cleaning though, after 1 race day i normally strip it and clean it fully.. thats the boring part Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ziggy122 Posted December 17, 2007 Share Posted December 17, 2007 Depends on how good a car you have, how hard you bash it, how well you run it in and ho wwell you look after it etc etc etc The car part yes But bashing and running it in and how u look after it not always The car plays the biggest part U need to research and find out whats really good at racing and strenght U can look after ur car as much as u like, but it could end up breaking down as much old skodas used todo Ziggy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
olly Posted December 18, 2007 Author Share Posted December 18, 2007 thanks for all of that and i will take it to consideration and i will tell you the one i am getting it is a hyper 7 s nitro buggy (obvouisly lol) and what percentage of the time do u spend fixing it all. everyone that i have spoken too say that they recomend a eletric because for someone that has never even used a rc car they recomend one because they say nitro are too unreliable but ive still got an nitro... so help would be appreciated cheers olly Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smithy1135 Posted December 18, 2007 Share Posted December 18, 2007 I run a Hyper 7, very tough car... just make sure that you get a decent set of tools and your set. When your out playing just keep checking all of the screws to make sure there tight because loosing screws can cause damage Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
