I would never ever do this, but what would happen if you took the muffler off of an R/C? Would it still run and just be louder or would it damage the engine. Also, like I said, I would NEVER do this, I am just wondering...

well i done it a few times with my old buggy and god was it loud lmao, it didnt do any damage to my buggy but im not quite sure what it would do if u done it to much

oh. I want to try it for the sound without any damage to the r/c

Yeah, I got a old rc10 gt fram, might get a old engine and try it just for sh*** and giggle's lol

I had it happened to me once when i crashed my CEN RTR into the curb and the muffler joint broke and it was ***** loud !! no dmg to the engine or the car whatsoever just that it was LOUD..

you'd also lose a lot of performance

but i don;t think there would be any damage

oh

wouldn't the performance be better with no extra piping to slow down the flow of exhaust? and also I dont think you could run the engine very long that way since the tank would not be presurized

exactly at least on my rush it wont run because the tank would not pressurize.

the engine needs the back pressure on the exhaust to help keep the fuel in the combustion chamber. also it does run w/ no pressure on the fuel tank...after you get it started, pop the lid on your tank, see what happens. oh and my TC3's muffler popped off the header, wierd sounding...

ya itll run without backpressure but itll keep stalling out, happened when the fuel tank on my tmaxx broke

pipes add performance, they don;t take it away, just remember that

so if u ever wanna get more power out of ur engine, upgrade to a (better) tuned pipe

yep just take the pipe off but leve the header but be ready for an ear splittingly load crackling noise
