It does, but that still looks like an HPI something, it has that grey HPI looking crank case.

It has the hpi star 15 head but the case is not black. I guess we will have to wait and see what he says.

Its just such a contrast between your black header pipe and pull start. Let us know how it does. What made you get that engine instead of the sh on trade.

just to be different and I wanted to try something besides the standard vertex or SH's .. Besides I had horrible luck with the VTX.

Have you used that pipe before or did you get it new for the HPI engine.

I get it for the new engine. Had the stock plastic muffler with the vtx. But did have the header..
BTW- the stock plastic pipe is just a single chamber.
This has gotta help[8D]
