Any recommendations on a quiet nitro r/c car? I've been doing electric
for a while now and the only thing stopping me from going nitro is the
noise factor. last weekend I had a blast with my friends nitro truck
and we were running all day but it was LOUD. there's no way I'd get
away with it in my neighborhood. Who makes the most quiet mufflers and
how quiet are they?

Thanks!

I remember doing some repair work for the LHS owner (he gets swamped around christmas and
farms out the repair jobs)

I did a few HPI cars with the little FE engines and stock exhausts. They are remarkably
quieter than most. Not the most powerful cars ive seen, but really user friendly and easy
to start/tune.

Go for a .12 with a stock tuned pipe.  You can also try an exhaust deflector
or an expanded long exaust tube from the tuned pipe.
