F.A.Q.

1.     How do you start an engine? There is couple ways to start it you put the glow starter which looks like a screwdriver but it is really a battery which you put on the glow plug which is just a coil and you use a starter box which is a box you put under the car which spins a metal wheel under the car, or you pull a rope as you do in a lawn mower, or there you connect a battery to car and press a button to start the engine.

2.     How do you shut down an engine? The easiest way is to push the brake with one hand and pinch the fuel tube with another hand, or you can put your thumb on the air filter.

3.     Why is there a battery pack even though there is an engine? The battery pack is just for the radio equipment so it can pull the throttle and it can turn the car.

4.     How fast can they go? Some 1/8 car like the HPI Proceed can top 80 MPH.

5.     What are the difference between hobby cars and the ones you buy at Toy's R Us? The ones you by in Toy's R Us has the same frequency as each so if you want to race with your friends that will be very hard so maybe you should bought a Furby, kid. If one of them is a hobby kind, you can change frequencies.

6.     How much do they cost?  Gas cars start at $250 for everything if you're lucky they can cost more than $ 1,000 dollars if you want the HPI Proceed.

7.     What is a RTR? RTR stands for ready to run these cars comes with radios and they are mostly assembled these are good for beginners but I don't like the radio that they come with
