required for optimum performance and maximum engine life. In the
past, the conventional lubricant content used in fuel was 18%. But
with new advanced technologies, fuels like Red Alert and O'Donnell
for example, have a better quality of lubricants even though the
percentages of lubricant content are lower. These high-tech
lubricants provide exceptional cooling and protection.
 
Thanks Werks. Thanks to all. I think it is going to be the MT2 RTR. Since my first intent is to get into the hobby and bash for a bit, this sounds like a fun place to start. That way I'll get some experience repairing and replacing things while at the same time, it sounds like the MT2 will have enough speed and versatility to satisfy me for a while. One of my friends just got an RC10GT and loves it, so I want to be able to hang with him speed and handling wise. Beyond that, if I decide to get into racing I may have to pick up a second truck, although I have to admit the Nitro Road racing thing sounds very intruiging to me. The is a local RC raceway that I believe hosts weekly Nitro road races, so I'll have to check it out.

Thanks again!
