That is utterly false, to claim that it is impossible to start a nitro engine below 5-10C. I would say something more like "it's more difficult at or below freezing"..

Preheating can help though when outside temps are cooler. If you have electricity, just use a cheapo hair drier and wrap the head in an old sock and get the temps to 175-220F, and start it up. Once started, you just need to run it a bit fatter than normal. Nitro engines actually like cooler temps.. More O2 in the (colder, denser) air means more power...

Once started, that's the key words! Maybe I exaggerated a bit with the temperature, but you got the point. And I agree with all the other things.
I recommended the above methods for starting up the motor considering there is no power supply around. Of course a hair dryer is the simplest method.

Just bring along two ignitors. One for preheating and then another fully charged unit for start up. Always worked on my nitro planes in really cold weather. I know a lot of trucks use an ignitor and electric starter all in one which would make things a tad more difficult. I hope my after run oil has done its job in my nitro plane engines. They haven't been started in almost 3 yrs now.....

The savage is hard to beat in any of its variations.

I love how it always turns into an argument over nitro versus electric. They both have a home in the hobby....why can't we all just get along?

Savage and Muggy are the two best "monster trucks" ive ever seen. Savage handles terrible when turning but is a tank for jumping and bashing in general....Muggy handles like a dream but if you break it good luck finding parts.

Both can be nitro or electric, pick your flavor: smelly and loud -or- fast and dangerous
