This was my biggest undertaking so far. It came out clean! Here are some pics...



Oh yeah...I also hooked up my Futaba 2.4gH Fasst system, and put on a header! I can't wait to run!!!!

Status: offline 		Yeah, I've been running it for a while now, and I like it. However, I have not had a chance to run it with the new header. The pipe seems to be sort of long, and I don't know enough about exhaust systems to understand the type of improvement that is supposed to make (I think it's top end power). It sounds great and it's definately a little faster.

Short and fat are torque pipe for low end power and performance

And I'm sure if you ask here, someone has just got a blue cooling head for it, so that everything will match.

I believe it adds to the structural integrity of the chassis. Plus as Werflis says it looks nice!

I would think it would stiffen the chassis longitudinally a lot more than the plastic plate these truck/buggies come with.
