About Justin Lingana
(Top Expert on this page)

Expertise
I have most of my experience in Nitro Powered Monster truck and 1/8th Scale Buggy and Truggy. The questions I could probably best answer are engine tuning questions. I do not have much experience with electric powered cars.

Experience
I have been constantly teaching my self about nitro engines since 2006. I ask a lot of questions to the experts I know and carefully dissimilate the information I am given. I do my best to only give advice I KNOW to be true and am not afraid to say "I'm not to sure"

Education/Credentials
My professional education is with the University of Phoenix where I am studding to achieve a Bachelors of Science in Information Technology.
