Learn to drive
tune vehicle
learn to drive.
I didn;t want to have to try to tune the engine and not get to run as much do to poor tuning by me...

If/when I get respectable driving skills,understand the vehicle tuning then I might consider the nitro side of 1/8 racing. As I do like the smell,sound and so on.

There is no doubt that 1/8 nitro it the biggest class at most tracks, stable rules,and so on I just wanted try the E side of things first.

Enjoy witch ever you choose !!!
