Yup, it's true. So much of hassle and risk to modify engines... Yes, so now everybody should dump their cars and get the MTX3 with a M-speed engine
Ummm, don't forget to pair it up with the loudest pipe you can get hold of 
I think currently it is the Shark outlaw pipe

Maybe we should just have a 1/10 outlaw category. I mean really outlaw, no limit on motor size, if you can fit a .21 and run it go ahead or if you can put in a .70 even better. but car have to stay at 1/10. Guarantee more exiting than 1/8
Even 3 speed allowed.

Yo master X man!
"What the hell is goin on?? RC jet engine?? Better concentrate on your rc man!"
I think its better run without any pipe, even louder and powerful!
Now is everybody concentrating?

100% satisfaction! Good linear power and good mileage as well. 
Used it with the Novarossi Turbo inline pipe, Tornado 25%, remove the venturi, added 0.1mm shim on the head with the No.#6 long body turbo plug, Kawahara heatsink engine head with Eagle heatsink engine mount. Run at around 130 degree Celcius. Try it and u'll know wat i mean.
P/S ; That set was tune almost to the max, ie. anything more would result in overheating.

Hey, since when you guys down south know how to use Tornado fuels? 
I thought you guys down there were die hard users of Blue Thunder fuels...

I think u 've got the facts wrong, lots of people at JB uses Tornado. In fact, I 've only saw bout 2-3 people using Blue Thunder.

Yup, perhaps I got it wrong... 
I should have known that since JB is so close to SG (Tornado is famous down there), influence should have already been there already.
Just that on the big scale races in KL/PJ, everywhere I see Blue Thunder fuel, I see a Johorean face associated with it... In KL/PJ, I think nobody uses Blue Thunder. Virtually non existant.
BTW, how much do you guys pay for the 2.5 liter and 5 liter Tornado cans over there?

Ravi,
I'm not to sure if Tornado fuels run hotter or cooler but I 've been using it without any problem. Feels more pewerful,easier to tune,better idling,burns cleaner etc...
