what car are you getting? and fast is often a word that shouldnt be put in the same sentence as "noob"

yes they do make superchargers but they are basically a waste of $150-200, higher nitro fuel makes more power than a supercharger

But for a newb it will be a lot of power and im not really sure a newb will be able to handle it. But as for a supercharger or turbo they are more for show and dont give you any go. You would have to know how a 2 stroke works to understand that a superchrager or turbo just simple wont work. On a 2 stroke you simple waste fuel and waste a $150 or more dollars on a piece that you end up just sitting on a shelf and forgeting about. If you want more power try a tunned pipe or higher nitro percentages. But as someone had already said walk then run.

Basically any nitro car is going to be insanely fast for you because your new to the rc game. So even a slow car will seem to be fast as he## for you. I would get a rtr, then when you get use to it then upgrade. Or I can see you having a nice insanely fast car wraped around a telephone pole and being able to save little if anything from it.

Status: offline 		If you want to blow his socks off see what kind of car he is using.Then you can get the same car he has, then you can basically just one up him from there. If he has a .18 cvr then get the .18tz. If thats makes any sence to you. But for speed you will need a high reving high horse powered engine. But it all depends on what he has and how much money you are willing to spend. I know you said that your willing to spend a 1000 on this thing and depending on what he has you very well might have to just to catch him let alone pass him. But who knoes he might just have the most basic of setupp's and it might not take a whole lot to blow him away.

im gunna put this plain and simple....

noobs cant handle the power of high horsepower engines, and they cant drive them as well as they think they can, that aside....

you HAVE to learn to tune (where most fo the power can come from) remember a bigger engine or a better engine is worthless unless you know how to fine tune it, its not as asimple as you think either, the only way to get good is lots of practice, you prolly wont get very good until about your 2nd-3rd gallon of running

superchargers are a complete waste, if everyone is telling you not to get them there must be a valid reason why, and there is, its all show, and you can set yourself apart not by having a turbo'd or supercharged car, but by better driving and tuning skills

find out what car he has, and what engine, an RS4 like you want is a good car but the T-15 engine that comes with the rtr version isnt a good engine if you wunna beat someone, a great engine is an OS 18 cv-r (easy to tune for noobs, generally controllable power) and once you get better at tuning you can get an 18tz, both dont rev as high as the 18ss which would be your best choice for top speed and general power

you wont become the best/fastest drive overnight, it takes a while, and for better performance, get a good tuned pipe and high nitro, that will make way more power than any stupid supercharger

Umm did a search and didnt find a turbo on there at all. I know that they make superchargers but not turbo's. Forced indusction does not work for these 2 strokes. The forced fuel/air mixture just simply exit's the exhaust port and does not return. It's that simple. The only 2 stroke that they work on is the diesel marine 2 stroke which is totally different then these 2 strokes, as they have a exhaust valve and not a exhaust port. I doesnt work thats why if you go on BBB (bureau of better bussiness) and do a search you will find a ton of or used to be able to find a ton of complaints against RB innovations. The number of complaints against them will suggest that they dont work.
