I just take it out to the field and pull the pull starter and it fires right up. No glow pugs to mess with. Just a simple engine in a huge truck. This truck dwarfs my LST and makes my Savage look like a R/C car from Toys-R-Us.
I agree the FG machines are awesome. 26cc petrol engines obviously have alot of grunt in an RC car!!
If it wasn't for the fact that no one (as in no one at all) races them in my locality, infact they are actually outlawed at our nearest track due to safety issues/space/marshalling constraints, an FG would be top of my birthday wishlist.
But once I own all the cars I intend to race, I must own an FG MT even if it's just to bash with...
In the meantime, I'll just have to cope with our inferior alcohol burning 2 strokes until FG racing becomes a reality....roll on the day!
