I do agree there's quite a bit of smack talk in this thread. Pride and ego certainly get in the way. I am guilty. But there is alot of truths in this thread that many are unaware of. Either way, MT's are just toys and have fun with them. There's a few different ways to achieve power. One way is to get a BUKU power pipe and run 0% nitromethane in your fuel mix, and save quite a bit of money along the way. Another way is to get a high output engine, run a decent pipe, and 30% nitro. It's all good. Whatever works for you. Just make sure you always keep it real with RC Monster Trucks. Because they rule! Bashing OR Racing! Period
