if your going to be racing it..your not going to want to jack it up. im not sure what motor you have in it, but if it is stock...you are probably going to want a different one to be competitive racing. not sure though.
suspension...as long as it has adjustable shocks you should be set

Seems like your still a newbie so stick with that Mach .15 until you can tune/drive it then bump it up and from what I've heard depending on what pipe u get usually stock pipes are balanced out low and high end but when your going for a new pipe they can range some are better for low end and some better for high end just read up on it before you go buy one

Since ur using a nitro truck, your suspension settings should be about 3 inches up, als depends on the track and weither or not its really bumpy, high jumps, etc. Since your uncle is going to help u, u can learn from him. You have to give us more detail in order for us to help u to custom ur settings for your truck.

Pm me if u still need some help on setting up your truck

since this is your first engine shouldnt you first learn how to tune them correctly. This is a process that takes a while to get right and you need lots patiance.......
