Press Release from JQ Racing:

NEW for the final two months of 2017, and for next year, is a Factory Built BLACK Edition Nitro Buggy. It is the same BLACK Edition kit, but instead of packaging the parts in the familiar bags for assembly by the customer, we build the car at the factory, to the August 2017 Stock Setup. The only thing left for the racer to do, is to install a motor and pipe, and the electronics, and of course paint the pre cut body. Even the throttle and brake linkages are built and ready to go. This “Spec-Q” car is intended to be ready to race, so thread lock has been applied, and camber, toe, and droop has been set correctly. The diffs and shocks are pre built with the correct oils, and you can get on the track quickly.

Break In & Feedback

We really want this to be ready to race, with no need to go through anything and apply thread lock, or worry that something isn’t built right. We recommend that you install your equipment, and run the car for about half a gallon. The car may feel a bit loose when new, don’t panic, and don’t make changes, run it, it needs to break in. After about half a gallon or so, it will gain traction and smooth out. We recommend you change the diff oils and shock oils to your own after a gallon or so. Fresh oil works better, and this way you will be using your own oils, and know exactly what setup you are running. Please send all feedback regarding this new pre built car to jq@jq-products.com so we can make sure to improve if needed for future batches.
