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 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
thanks

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.
