whats up guys, i am new to this, the last r/c car i had was a traxxas hawk 2 back in the day when it first came out. i just recently got interested in gas powered ones, so i figured i would read up on them a little bit and then make a purchase. so basically what i am wondering is, tomorrow or monday when i go into the lhs to pick up my t-maxx 2.5, what else should i purchase to go with it to run it that day? also, about how long does one tank of gas last?

welcome to RCNT! Make sure u follow everything on the DVD from traxxas. If u are going to bash, I suggest a Air filter saver and alluminum skid plates. Of than that it's up to u. It's a great truck and newbie friendly. Good luck.
One tank lasts about 15-20 minutes.

Once your truck is broken in and properly tuned a tank of fuel will last 10-15 minutes or until you brake something.
Things you will need to run your truck on the first day.
If you have questions about any item on the list use the search link at the top of the page.
Don't be in a hurry, brake it in slowly and don't try to grand stand for 8-10 tanks.
Good luck.

- Fuel
- Fuel bottle
- AA Batteries. 8 for the radio 4 for the truck, I suggest getting rechargeable for your radio and a hump pack for the truck now or you will spend a fortune for Energizers.
- Extra glow plugs.
- Battery and charger for the E-Z Start
- Reading glasses to read the manual 4-5 times before starting it.
- Fuel filter.
