Nah, so long as your mixture is right they will pretty much run forever. The easy start system on traxxas makes them 1 touch start so no glow stick and pull/rotor start. I was running round for around 2 hours the day this pick was taken (granted the snow helped keep the engine cool but non the less).

 fair play, i sold mine, got pissed of with it braking so much, i ended up sending it of this HUGE ramp, it went 30 feet in the air, then landed nicely on all wheels. Replaced all the snapped plastic with nice purple metal bits, then sold it lmao!

 I've upgraded it all to alu appart from the wishbones. Leave them plastic so that something can break. Otherwise the full car ends up twisting and distorting lol.

 yeah good point, but at the end of the day, BIKES ARE BEST!!!!

 Bikes are good for sure but there's more to life than them.

 Great fun, everyone should have one lol.
