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.

My MT started out as a MT1 Racer and I have upgraded just about to the MT2 SS specifications except the upper deck and the radio box. The racer did not come with and engine and when I built it they did not make the OS .18 CV-RX so right now I have the for runner OS. 15 CV-RX. I have an OS .18 TZ but they just open a track here and the TZ would be way too much for the track.

As far as the Sepktrum I have a DX3 on the way, as I need the 3rd channel for my Savage. All so the receivers for the DX3 are cheaper. The one I am getting comes with 2 receivers, two servos shipped for about $257.

For the money I am very pleased with the associated pipe. I am still considering the rear exhaust but right now I need the money for other things. I am setting my Savage and MT up for racing.


All ways glade to try and help.
