Found this on Craigslist the other day when I actually had some cash in my pocket.

With a little spit shine here and there she's got potential. Nice work.
Looks like you have a Fantom Works engine and exhaust, maybe a Forward Only Kit in the tranny?
Do you have any other nitro RCs or is this your first?

If you're looking to replace that Disruptor body with a duplicate here's the part #

I used to run a fantom.18 my rustler way back when. That engine tossed that rig around like a rag doll!

Great starting point, FOC seams to be the key with these.

Those air filters are big POS's your right.

I would start with a engine cleaning inside and out, new fuel lines, filter, air filter ,fuel tank and glow plug

This is my first nitro. After having bad luck with run times on battery, I decided 10 years later to get a nitro.

Excellent idea. I will tear her down and give her some TLC before I even fire her up.

Tty in the maxx thread buddy, we would like to help you through the process, the main reason why people diss nitro is simply because of lack of experiance, here at rcnt we all wanna get u goin in the right direction so just ask man, even if it seems like a stupid question

+1 On what Hotrod said. People give up on nitro to easily because they do not want to put the effort into learning how to properly tune and diagnose problems or do the work that's required to keep a nitro running properly.
