im looking into getting a ft nitro tc3. as for the motor i was looking at a O.S. .18 the cr-v (p) i think it is, the one that says its a direct fit for it, also why is that one so cheap compared to others that are smaller. and another q. whats the best fuel to run in a os engine.

and you work at a hobby shop?

yea i do and i was looking for some help from the guys who really race all the time, i work more on electrics buddy, and what just because i do work at one i cant ask questions.

I just thought it was odd that you didn't ask these quesitions where you work.

if your going to get a .18 it wont be legal for racing, unless some kind of outlaw class allows it.

if you want an os and want to race, then go for the .12tz...

best fuel I've found so far is wildcat eliminator and that should go for any brand of engine..

the cvr is cheaper because its not up to par with for instance the os tz line..

thanks for the help, im just lookin for somethin that will be really really fast not to race but to play with

get the .18cvr then, but remember its going to be hard to control.

the better choice would be to get the .12tz wich is plenty fast, plus its legal for racing if later on you decide to do so.

thats cool, what other cars do you think are good for a beginner who might race later on (i want a kit)

what kits do they carry plenty of parts for where you work?
the first thing that comes to mind is the R40....

thats why i was gonna go with the ft tc3 nitro they have every part for it

I would stick with that then..

buy a kit ,get a rear exhust motor,use a good fuel aka rocket science,odonals,put only on the car what comes in the tc3 kit ver2 and beat the snot out of it and you can still race it .buy a 3 port modle engine
