Fuel doesnt last long in my rc buggy?
I have just bought an rc buggy and a full tank of fuel only last about 30 seconds is this normal?
That time frame is not normal. More like up to 25 minutes is the norm, depends on how you drive it. The needle setting on the engine are wrong. Too much fuel being burned. I'd look at the trouble shooting section on the manual. Enjoy.

Now!! Way!! Jose!!
You have to be either dumping fuel in to your tuned pipe, or have a broken line! Please put new lines, and make sure that the tuned pipe is above the level of fuel in the tank! and average running time on a nitro engine is in the neighbor of the 8 to 12 Minutes!
You need to carefully check where all that fuel is going! and Just in the rare case that it is going through the engine! you need to lean the fuel mixture! first the lower needle and then the top! I would say find some one that have some experience and ask for help! because other wise U'll be shortening the life of your engine on a factor or the 75%. This last procedure requires some one that understand how the engine works! Look for some videos on You Tube of how is don B4 U start to mess up with that!
Good luck and have Fun!!!
