Our first shipments are coming with the CY23cc engine (same one HPI uses) and tuning info is all over the internet. We recommend getting a pipe for it, but currently the X-can will bolt right on since there is no pipe that needs to be manipulated to make it fit through the roll cage or body. There are some other pipes you can use, but I personally love the X-Can.

We are working with one of the large pipe fabricators in the U.S. to make one just for our models and of course we will have one from the factory soon as well.

Expect a lot of great things to come, but a pipe is something we highly recommend right off the bat to get more power and of course to have them sound better too.

Will the pipe that you are going to sell be made of steel or aluminum?

so what your saying is the stock ones arent good enough, so here are some better ones...thats not a good start .....pipes a goody

why not just throw all the good stuuf on there and charge for it ...1-the base model(no pipe or hopups)... & the heavy duty model (pipe heavy duty dogbones, heavy duty shock shafts, ect.)


Just a suggestion

Just like everything in life, some people are going to want the best. The 23cc engine will be fine for some, but you know what happens next. More power equals more abuse. I have a CC Racing Engine coming for mine, and I want to be able to put the pwoer to the ground for hours on end.

Status: offline 		I will have to try the HPI pipe this weekend. It looks like it will fit fine. You can put any of the RC engines in there, from the CY23 to the 30.5 and any of the Zenoahs.
