I did not know anywhere else to put this, I did not think it belonged in the "outdoors thread" or the "tilted motors" thread so here it is in the general maybe a mod can move it around for me.
Anywho to the post.
I just got into the RC hobby, my gf purchased a Traxxas T-Maxx for me for my birthday (which is not for 2 more weeks but I got it early due to work and school and some company coming into town to spend some time from out of state)

I have only grown up having the little cheapo TYCO ones from Toys R Us and the such that I used to get as presents, this is my first nito vehicle and first top of the line model as well. It is ready to run out of the box with just the batteries for remote controller, a charger to charge the starter and starter batteries, as all you need to buy seperate plus the fuel and away you go. Does anyone have any experience with these vehicles or anyone else in the hobby currently I can use to pick your brain on thoughts, ideas, hop-ups or any general maintenance tips and tricks?
There is a pretty good manual and DVD that come with the truck I have went over each a few times and will be gluing the tires to the rims and doing the 5 step engine break-in period starting tomorrow which according to the DVD takes about 2 hours then I can start shredding and running over things.
