Side venting exhaust is something I think is retarded in the RC car world. All it does is vent exhaust all over your rear right wheel if it doesnt' just get pushed up into your body coating the whole inside of the car with gunk from the exaust and all the dirt and dust that gets inside. Why is this configuration necessary? I know there are conversion kits to get that exahaust out the back, but why do you have an exhaust port on the side of the engine instead of the rear? Just seems like it would simplify the hell out of it. I don't like spending an equal amount of time cleaning my rig as I do running it.
My temporary fix was to take some RO piping and fix it to the muffler exhaust and make it so it vents out the back. Yeah there is a little loss in power, but I'd rather lose a little power then spend all that time cleaning the exhaust crap out of the car. I'm a parking lot guy I don't race or anything
