Is it brand new? If it is, it will use heaps more fuel while it is being run in.

They are run very rich during the run in period. You can get bigger tanks for them and if you want speed try getting a 2 or 3 speed gearbox for it

The only way to sort the steering is to get better quality servos

yeh, u could go an O.S 40, but, thats a bit extreme, n would probably go a bit quick. .25 should be heaps come to think of it. does it have a fuel filter, cause dirt in those engines = bad!!!

get a futaba radio, they are the better brand, and still relitively cheap.
These things look like a lot of fun wouldnt mind looking into one when the Lux is done

These things are fun but dont expect them to last the gearboxs dies quick smart yes they do about 70 or 80 with the 18 engine no problems with that part but expect to buy spares all the time for gearbox and suspension bits it just too weak chinese plastic I had one I know trust me !!!
Dont put a bigger engine in it wont fit radio gear and suspension in way unless you want to redo the whole car just use it till it breaks or get sick of it .
Make sure yu run the engine in properly so it out last the car...
IMHO any there not too bad for a starter nitro toy.
