Just go 1/4 gas 1 min. and you mite get away with it, but I dought it. BTY, it's a fuel hog, maybe 7 min. when hot roding. You said you could get Sidewinder so use that. Stay away from the Traxxas stuff 'cause it runs hot in every thing. Way to much oil in there. Tune it so you see smoke all the time your pegin' it and you'll be OK for awhile. Have fun!!!
Hmm, seems like a very delicate engine. Are high speed runs up and down the street OK, or just any full throttling for longer than a second?
