read the manual, do a proper RUN in with the motor, Wet needle setting= alot smoke should come out from exhaust, and drive very slow in beginning,
Wet run in . No stressing , then you will have a motor that will last you Long time.

I do Gas motor run-in with 3% oil 1% extra first 2 tanks
then 2.5% 3tanks.
6th run i start with 2% and tuning the motor to lean side, run faster

avoid drive near other people, or they be mad at you because they are loud , alot louder than lawnmovers

they are heavy, you dont want accidents happen.
With these things , no Alcohol. these are heavy cars, so Dont drink and drive with it

racing oil, check video

@coldvod I've had several large scale RC's and by far the biggest recommendation I can give you is to buy a kill switch.

I'd check out the Killer RC kill switch.

@coldvod the kit would be my pick just because everything you need is right there ready to go and really just for a few bucks more.
