I think the only thing i am having problems with is the warmup. It is taking me seriously 4 minutes of warmup before i can put it on the track. If i go before that, it will flame out. its odd, but i can handle it.
Powerhouse RC makes engine warmer that runs off 110v and will warm the motor up to about 200f in about 10-15 mins. Clamp it on and come back when your up to race.
