I've started thinking of racing the eight round state Nitro series next year and was wonder how easy can running a Nitro be? Will it matter only running the buggy eight times a year?
Thanks

If your already driving electric, than driving a nitro shouldnt be a big problem. Chassis tuning is similar. Your main issue will be engine tuning. The engine tuning guide posted by Houston a while back is the bible. If you follow that and try not to over think it, you would do just fine. I'm not the best engine tuner, but if I just run and not worry too much about the engine, I seem to do just fine. If it isnt screaming on the top, and the bottom has good response, you're usually pretty close. Research the engine forum and you can learn a lot. Good luck.
