Paranoid I guess? Anyway I am ready for this weekend! Thanks Monty!
By reading your signature I'm sure you know this but...go easy on her for that first gallon and then ease into the race tune after YOUR first gallon and she will last a loooooong time. I didn't think preheating was that important but I followed Monty's advice and I have always preheated my motor before every start and at at 4 gallons I still have a hard time turning the motor over by hand when its cold. no mechanical pinch just tons of compression.
RC CARS ARE COOL!!!
