what is your motor temp?
you should get a tuned aluminum one to get better performance
the stock one is not that great since u got a os 30 on it

That pipe is really robbing your os of its true power, get the hpi polished at least if not a one piece type pipe to really let that engine rip like its supposed to.

Ha, I fitted a new OS 30 last week and although i intended to change the poxy stock plastic exhaust it i just had to give it a run! and guess what? It melted on day 1..... Tonight has seen the fitting of the New HPI polished (£18.99 - E bay) and tommorow she gets her maiden voyage! I've heard bad press about the OS 30 and i've only given mine just over a gallon so far and even with the melting pipe she was showing some serious intentions so fingers crossed by the end of the weekend she's tweaked right up....

Do your engine a favour though and buy it an exhaust that will do it justice....
Thats my first ever post done, and whatever anyone ever says Savages rule, i'm a grown man and i nearly wet myself when i'm landing jumps from 20 ft in the air.....

Best of luck....
