Re: nitro cars
yeah wise to go local then any probs you have the backup, make sure you run it in properly first, is it your first one?

Re: nitro cars
I have a HPI MT2 18ss, quite a fun little thing, but havn't used it in years.
HPI aftercare seems pretty good, final drive gears mashed themself, so they sent out new ones no questions asked, didn't even want to see the old ones.
