Still new to RC's, but Nitro is the fuel source? and I'm assuming the batteries needed are for the controller and to start the motor?

If you're new to nitro definitely look at temperature gun and after run oil and always run all the gas out if you're not going to run it in the next couple of days WD40 works fine for after run oil I've got a slayer 4x4 and a 4 tec been having the truck about a year and haven't had to change a part yet it's very durable

Oh and make sure to always keep your air filter clean...I bought a screen that goes over it

With all nitro rc cars you need the recommended nitro for the vehicle, batteries for the reciever in the vehicle the slayer pro uses 4aa or a rechargeable pack sold seprately and anothe 4aa batteries for the remote. This is a great truck and for a beginner it is wicked fast but very forgiving.

nitro is the fuel, nitro cars/trucks use batteries to power the receiver and the transmitter (the controller). nitro cars/trucks either are pull start or electric start (both require a battery source for starting just 2 different methods, pull start uses a battery to heat the glow plug while the other uses a battery to power an electric motor to heat glow plug and turn motor over.)

Mike, I'm sorry, but it's been a while since I bought my Champ and later I bought 2 extra batteries. Was the rubber and double-sided tape in the box with the Champ or were they shipped with the battery? I don't remember seeing either item. They can't be too critical since I've had my Champ for about a year and haven't needed them! I got a small piece of velcro for securing the battery in the Champ. That's important. Sorry I can't be of more help. Phil It just occurred to me that I'm assuming you are talking about a Champ electric RC plane, but maybe not.

It's not so much about Speed it's about engine tempature I personally run 20% nitro fuel. Traxxas fuel is hard to come by and they also do not sell it by the gallon. Torco race fuel is a safe alternative.

Simple.You need a two channel transmitter. Futaba is a popular brand. You will need a battery . 7.2 volt any where around 3500mah will give a good run time. Duratrax makes a good quality battery. Then last by not least. A charger.The simpler the better especially new to the hobby. You can find all of these items easily on Amazon or ebay. Towerhobbies.com s a gorgeous resource as well. If you need help just let me know. I am glad to help out now R/C people. It's a fun hobby.-Matt

I use regular nitro fuel from the local hobby shop top fuel plus, but it is 20% so I would say yes!

You can just buy the kit, build it and have a nice display model. If you would like to fly it as an RC Model you will need a Motor and Propeller, Transmitter/ Receiver and servos, a Lipo battery and charger, and an assortment of small screws and tools.

Yes, both the car and the controller need batteries. Best to buy rechargeable batteries, but, it's worth it. Kids love this toy.

Put in two LiPo batteries in parallel and lower the gear ratio and you'll have all the speed and more power than you need. Go to your local RC dealer for the best advice. I would definitely invest in a Traxxas 6 amp battery charger.

Craig L. Is Correct. This RC requires 8 AA Batteries. 4 for the remote and 4 for the truck. 4 AA batteries need to be placed in the receiver box of the truck itself when being binded with the radio. the truck uses electric servos for steering and gas/brake engine control.

Yes, u will need to buy a starter, batteries, and fuel but if I were u I would save up and buy a better one mine broke the first day and I'm still having problems with it, very disappointed.

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!

Press the throttle stick to off then full throttle and back which initializes the motor controller. Its like a safety so you can connect with partial throttle.

They usually take AA batteries to power the servos, but you can buy a rechargeable lithium battery. Otherwise you just need batteries for the remote and fuel and you are good to go.

No its completely different. This is for electric motors that are exposed like mid motor rcs. It won't work for nitro.

There is pull start already attached to the motor. However, you still need to buy a glow plug igniter or else it will not start. If this is your first rc I highly recommend buying a starter kit and a couple extra glow plugs, the one it comes with burns out after around 12 runs.

You absolutely do need to supply the electronics for the kit version. If you are not sure what that means, you might want to consider the "RTR" or ready to run version, which includes motor, speed control, steering servo, radio, etc., and will be cheaper in the long run.

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 :-)
