Thanks in advance
With the right tune you will be able to do a 10 minute pit, BUT... You will have to give the engine a gallon+ to fully breakin before you start getting good fuel economy. One thing I have noticed with locals that also run RB's is that the Mugens drive train is not as smooth and free as some cars so that will hold back your mileage a little compared to cars like the Kyosho, Losi, Agama, and JQ.
Did you order the new combo that comes with the new 2087 pipe? That pipe will help you get better fuel mileage when compared to the 2045. If your going to try to use a JP pipe or something the chances of a 10 minute pit are not very good.
Also remember the heat gun is your friend. If you heat that thing up every time you start it up untill it no longer has any metal pinch it will last you a very long time.
