2 Speed threaded clutch bell and aluminum threaded gears is a good up grade to save your spur gears from getting eaten by the warped Redcat clutch bell. A team associated Tuned pipe will give you more top end not so much bottom end and the Racers Edge Tuned Torque pipe will give you a ton bottom end power.

AllAboutFunHobbies - I have a bb pro that came the redcat tuned pipe, it sounds cool but what do I stand to gain by switching to either of those pipes that you offer

firebug80 - you should if nothing else get the hpi gears right off I'm glad I did, and make shure to tighten all the screws and locktite all the grub screws on the buggy mainly the ones on your center dogbone cups - other than that my bb is a tough little buggy, my next upgrade will be a different radio and servos. the range of the stock one is a little less tha desired with anything less than new batteries and the throttle servo is twitching all the time - hope this gives some insight/help

Actually, Ya don't need the tuned pipes, sorry forgot the BB comes with it. The one that comes with it is a torque pipe, but if you were to change it to an RPM pipe you would get more top end power in the higher RPM range.
