as long as the batteries are always charged/new then you will never have a problem..

Nick why not go for the .28 version, not really any faster in a straight line as they both have the same gear ratios but the extra torque really makes a big diffrence & there hardly anymore money mine was only Ł190, such a gr8 deal considering these cars were in the Ł300 region not all that long ago..

Just bought myself a kyosho mad force. Im new to the game and having a few "getting to grips with the basics" issues. My car wont start, it tries to go then dies. Could it be my glow plug?
Should the glow plug be red hot right to the end of the coil when you take it out to look at it?
It is only half lit when i put the starter on it.
Please help!
Oh yeah, its got a k+n on it aswell, are these shite? Model shop told me they were coz they fuck the mixture up.
