Lol, if I lived up there it would make the choice significantly easier that's for sure. Locally though since we don't run nitro, it would definitely be something I would need to work on at the house and get it up and going. I am thinking right now for races up there if I go through with this, to start with a 1/8 Nitro Buggy, run same brand 1/8 E-Buggy, and maybe for some 1/10 action some 1/10 4wd E buggy. Running 13.5 out there I had a blast.

As it sits, i think the big thing I need for info will be what exactly I need to
get. Gathering a list here, this is what I have some far that is nitro specific:

- Receiver pack (LiFE or LiPO, cutoff for packs?)
- .21 Engine
- Pipe
- Spare Air Filters
- Screw driver to adjust engine settings
- Air Filter Oil
- Starter Box
- Glow Ignitor
- Fuel bottle with cap that is attached
- Fuel Line
- Fuel Filter(s) (not sure how many?)
- Fuel (what percentage is good for 1/8 usage)
- Clutch Bell(s) (not sure how many are good to get)
- Clutch Shoes
- Clutch Springs
- Sealant for the carb? (I dont' recall all specifics on this, its what I have heard in the past)
- After-run oil


Is there anything else I am missing that either is required or can be useful?

From there once I got the generalities out of the way, I want to start getting into specifics. Again, focus will be on stuff that offers a reliable start and easy tune. I can look into power later. Won't make a difference if I am "That Guy" always flamed out watching from the outside in
