if you are talking about jet, I don't think that you will find any thing that will fit into your 10th size. If you have a 1/5 size a jetcat P60 - P70 might work!!

I believe Wren make the smallest commercially available turbine but it would be too big for a 1/10 scale.

However if you are serious then they have a turbo prop system which could be adapted to drive wheels. 1/4 scale? I think it mght be a first at model size, I have never seen anything on this.

Fast is good but faster is better.

The smallest commercially available turbine is not from wren but from lambert microturbines.
The turbine you are looking for is the Nanojet T32 Kolibri.

That one would be a tight fit, but you won't find anything smaller.

The Lambert isn't exactly a cheaper turbine for its size either. For about 3,200-3,500 US, you could spend the extra grand or so on a 1/5 scale chassis....just food for thought.
