Run an electric buggy in practice and club races. Saves wear on the nitro.

Use a Comp heater allways. Stick to OS 21XZ while youre new. Find a nitro racer to help you with breakin. Buy bulk airfilters from Amain. Use the SWAFF and wash 'em regulatly. I wash my outer every run. Dubro fuel line. OS pipes. SWEEP PIPE GASKETS!!!! Byrons or Morgan Sidewinder 30/10. Whichever one sells more and is fresher in your area. Or order a case from Amain.

Another vote for the Xray Xb9. Most durable thing out there.

Fatam, you have a Team Xray driver in your area :D The XB9 has been very good for me, it handles well and is very tunable to different tracks. As mentioned the stuff is very durable, I put my cars through the paces and have yet to DNF due to a car breakage. I have my XB9 '12 I'm looking to get rid off, msg me on FB

Heater that preheats your engine

OS 21XZ, easiest to tune race engine on the market, use a P3 plug

SWAFF water soluble air filter oil

, Pipe gaskets Sweep exhaust gaskets arte the rubber seals on the pipe connections. OS and Novarossi gaskets suck.


and Byrons or Morgan Sidewinder 30% nitro/10% oil fuel types

sorry but i am new to the nitro and don't know what every thing is yet have a limited knowledge thats why i joined so i could to to people that know what they are talking about

In red. Forgot to mention Hitec 7955 servos and an airtronics M11x radio. That's the most durable setup I can imagine.

So the sweeps header gaskets are good? I'm in need of some and am looking for best bang for the buck.
