46u - Thanks for the quick reply. I was also concerned about hitting the Tsais pipe while bashing but judging by this picture :

it looks to me like the pipe may be protected by the size of the wheels or worst case the stinger would get hit. That is something to consider though. I should probably just go with the associated pipe that you suggested since after a while I'll be upgrading to the OS engine that you all run and would need a new header at that point anyway.
Another question that I have is, which steering servo do you use? I'm considering getting a Spektrum DX2 since I want to upgrade my radio and servos. The radio and servos I'm using now are from an old electric car that I had.
Thanks again for the help.
Pete
