Hey guys, I'm new to the Nitro scene, been racing electric for 6 years. But I have a couple of questions. I have an RC10GT I got slightly used from a friend (5 tanks)
What is the best tuned exhaust to get for the stock RC10GT Engine? And what would be a good next engine that would work with the same exaust/header setup? Also, what type of fuel is the best to run at a high elevation (5,000ft), I've heard Blue Thunder is good just want to hear some opinions. I just have some traxxas 20% I got for real cheap, but I want something different.
Thanks alot!

i cant answer the 1st or 3rd questions sorry, but for the engine, if ur just bashing or amatuer racing(lenient rules) the os.18cvrx is fantastic. stupid amounts of low end, good mid and a pretty strong upper end. reliable as anything. it can be run a bit rich to help control traction and look after the motor, and still idle for 30+ seconds. starts 1st or 2nd pull every time once primed too. i use a fuel called pro-glow here in australia. 20%nitro and 16oil. mostly synthetic. put nearly 5 litres through the engine so far and still has all its compression.

(1) I would stick with the Associated exhaust setup.
(2) Any OS motor would be good.
(3) Not sure about the fuel in high elevation, but I know Trinity and Byrons are really good fuels.
