well you have 200+ posts so im assuming you know to have your controller switched on before you swich your car on and start it.

its probably a servo or linkage or both adjustment.
take off air filter so you can see down the barrel of the carb.
swich on your TX then your RX and see if the carb is openor closed.
if its way open take he servo horn off adjust your servo trim to 0 and make sure the carb is closed with only a 1-2mm opening at idle..
and re'attatch the servo horn so the carb is like that then blip the throttle to see if the carb opens accordingly.
dont forget to put the air filter back on beforeyou start it again..

that should get you outta trouble...(gotta look after a fellow Aussy).

If it revs up more than about 500rpm, your idle gap is too wide. If it runs on more than 5 - 7 sec, your LSN is rich.

Any .12 offroad pipe will work.
Losi,AE,Nova ect ect..

you can buy a one peice pipe where the headder attatches to the pipe with springs or you can get what I imagine you have were there is a rubber coupler from the headder to the pipe.
The nova REX pipes from the mugen MST1 work well also the Losi Drake pipes are good also theres plenty to choose from really.

Pengy, on the rc10gt, there should be a spring on the throttle linkage that keeps the throttle pressed closed at idle. If it is idling nicely but the wheels are still spinning if you pick it up, you can cut down the clutch shoes so it doesn't engagebas quickly. I just finished rebuilding my GT from about 12 years ago and I need to perform this procedure as well.

Short term, you can try adding some more brake by turning in the nut on the brake linkage, but that is a quick hack, not a proper fix.

I have my radio set so that full "left" trim is just a tad open from a perfect idle. This way I can run the trim full "right" and it will be at about 25% brakes. I like it there but if you can't get it to trim right, remember you can just take the center screw off the servo arm and reposition it.
