I just bought a Hpi nitro rush,
(the cars has a broken motor and I bought it with the cars and the
remote, so I need the supplies they normally come with exept I do not
know what I need)
and I don't have any experiance with nitro cars. Could anyone tell me
what tools and supplies I need. For example i found out i need a glow
plug wrench. I need to know what I need, I have nothing what so ever.
Also any suggestions on book I could use to learn about nitro cars?

Kevin, as I said before, check out HPI's site, it will tell you what you
need.

No need to get books when all the information you want is already out there.
It not that no body wants to help you, it's that you need to look at some
basic first and then we will all be able to answer specific questions. If
you have the rush then you can go here
http://www.hpiracing.com/instructions/instruct-rush.htm and look how that
car is assembled and you will then understand how it all works. It's really
not that hard, but do some research first before asking to broad a question.
I would recommend you rebuild the FE, if that is what is in it, with a new
piston and sleeve to get to understand how it is put together. This would
be the cheaper way unless the engine is totally wasted.
