ORIGINAL: brice_arnold

I have no way of documenting performance without someone tearing me a new one for stating any kind of improvement because I didn't test my engine on $20000 XPRZ-6400-Do-Dad With ANSI and ISO calibration certification within an hour of using the engine. I knew this would happen which is why I will never say anything about performance. I will say this though; it looks cool and it make more noise. When I get video later today maybe you can get a feel for it.


Dude, ignore those who bash There are many of us who read and dont post.
I for one think your invention (Pipe) is GREAT and is what this hobby is all about!
If the pipe seems to let too much pressure out just install some adapters in the ends to close them up a little and see if you can see any improvement or delay starting to return as you close it off.
At least you have the only pipe that looks really like it should be there. (So far)

Status: offline 		brice arnold, the pipe looks awesome!! Did you remove any of the baffling inside?? Have you landed on the tail yet & if you did,did it hit the extensions? I was thinking about cutting mine open & taking the baffling out then putting on a biggere diameter extansion,now that I see yours though, I think I'll have to dual it out!!

Status: offline 		pipe sounds good,love how the hpi looks even if i own a FG mt-5, i glad other companies are going big scale, its more then fun to have different models when we go bash instead of all the same thing, each one has its + and - side to it. at the end of the day lets all remeber one thing, these are TOYZ, expensive, but still TOYZ.
love this post cause no one is bashing any one . its all facts supported by pics and a video.

Status: offline 		TurtleRacing- Thanks for the props. Yeah I removed the guts from the muffler otherwise they would have made a mess during welding and would have interfered with the flow to the new pipes.

I have landed on the pipe a couple of times as you can see in my crashes video. No harm though. The pipe has a bracket which is bolted up to the rear of the vehicle. It's a pretty strong setup.

Status: offline 		I finished my rotors for the front brakes today. I decided to take my design up a notch from the other brakes available. I increased the diameter of the rotors from 70mm to 75mm. Also, I decided to go with hydraulic calipers. I just need to make an adaptor plate for the calipers and find somewhere to mount the master cyinder. There's not a whole lot of room but I think I'm going to go above the steering servo. The only problem with this design is that I might have to cut the body for this.
