I've been having trouble with my RC car spontaneously combusting. Will dousing it with lighter fluid help solve this problem?

i think spit and duct tape work best, specially when combined..
if that doesn't work, try stapling the tires to the wheels.
or do what my in-laws do, put elmers glue on the wheels and imediately glue them.

Okay guys this is not a question but i have found that putting a NOS sticker on your car makes it at least 10mph faster, try it!

KEVIN - Yes. Some answers are just so obvious, it seems like you're just looking for attention. I wonder if your mother stopped breast feeding you too early...or maybe you never stopped.

TRAX - try to get some authentic medieval armor from eBay. They never built armor the same since then. Usually this armor was blessed by sorcerers with invincibility so it should keep you off the pipes.

HESSION - the pros don't use tire glue or spit or duct tape or staples or elmer's...they use just one thing...and I don't feel like telling you.

DURATRAX - the NOS sticker is such an old trick I wouldn't be surprised if you're still running brushless motors. Do what the pros do and line the inside of your battery tray with a stripper's g-string.

TRX1 - the Fluxuator AKA the Fluxcapacitor goes smack in the middle of the chassis and will need 1.21 Jigawatts of power to operate properly. Square tires are NOT the latest rage, how would the car roll??!! Jeez, some people are just clueless.

i have problem with my thunder tiger, its too fast.
the thing was going fast, but as i drank more beer it got faster. suddently i could not see it anymore , can't figure it out. maybe it was the bacardi 151 i mixed with the fuel or i just drank so much beer i passed-out.
will try something stronger next time,like tequila or some habanero pepper extract.

Fluff,

tell us about proper drivers' stand etiquette. Is farting considered illegal? Or only above a certain noise level? (I'm talking electric racing here)
What about 'fishing' with the antenna?

How truly accurate is the 'spit test' as far as guaging the temperature of a nitro engine?
