Default Upgraded Pipe or Motor?

In the future I may think about either getting a different pipe/header setup or a different motor. I just have to see how my .15 in my truck will work out when I start racing. Any suggestions on which way to go would help, thanks.

I think this depends on your budget. but if it were me i would go for a motor. If you plan to race its not always about who has the fastest engine but who can negociate the turns faster and have the lowest lap times. Sure a fast motor will help on the straight aways but thats only one part of the track. Anyways if u have to much motor in a 2 whell drive like the losi you wont be able to control it and you will be doing donuts searching for traction.
