Default RN Tuning Close Shop Now Victory RC Makes The Pipes Now!

Look what I found to be the DDM and JetPro killer! this the same company that makes the RN Tuning Pipes.Now that RN Tuning is no longer making pipes.(VictoryRC) is the company that take over and now you can buy the pipes here in the states only at [link]http://www.pro5thscale.com/vrc___pro_5_power[/link] and anyone who knows about the almost impossible to get RN Tuning Pipe knows how much power these pipes put out, now you longer have to wait to order, they are here in the states.

That sounds great! I hope they have the same quieter deep tone that the RN pipes had. I like a quieter pipe so I don't drive my neighbors crazy.

apparently the designs will be a tad different cos the rn's were rinus's design but will be virtually the same but with more power...different pipes for different engine configerations/cc. I'm looking forward to getting one for my FG...fg models will be ready in 3 weeks

There is a lot of talk about this pipe on HPI Baja Forums. Lunatik Engineering is suppose to do a dyno test on them. Looks mighty exposed to damage.

All pipes are exposed to damage, what isn't? thats why its called off-road but the power will over come everything.

That pipe will never perform the way the (VictoryRc) pipe perform, also I have nothing against Jetpro but in my opinion they are just to loud and won't top out the way the pipes from VictoryRC will. Mooman007uk as soon as Victory sends me or Pete pictures of the FG pipes and the MCD ones I will post them for everyone to see.

In your above post you said ALL PIPES are exposed to damage. I was just showing you this is not true. The victory pipes from what I hear are a good pipe but looks more exposed and just wonder how it is going to hold up. Good performance is not much good if you have to fix or replace it often. On the 5B looks like if you land on the rear or you are racing on a track and another vehielce rear ends you, your day of running is over. I am not trying to start a flame just wondering how it holds up. So you have never run the Jetpro 4?

The jetpro looks pretty cool, and very well protected, and a decent price... Any other dyno results for VictoryRC pipes (or the V4 Jetpro)

if you had a bad tail strike coming straight down ass first i reckon the v4 would take a hit...but it is well protected....but murphy's law states if it can happen it will happen..so eventually someone, somewhere will smack any pipe

I've the Jetpro 4 good pipe and also they have four side pipes coming out for the HPI Baja also. From what I was told is that the rear pipe you see is the pipe for the stock CY 26cc and Modified Engines and will be making four side pipes for Mod and Stock engines. Just go on there website and check out the Dyno run of the pipe and also a sneak peak of the side pipe http://www.victoryrc.nl/Victory_RC/Videos.html

I totally agree but with some pipes it is going to happen much more often. I am waiting for the independent dyno test to come out. I just read on HPI Baja Forums a guy that tried the Victory pipe and he was very pleased with it. He liked it much better then the side dom. What is the US price on the Victory for the 5B and what is the weight?

jetpros are loud, hey do any of you know about Elven Wizard's Fg Baja Pajero, or know what is in it to make it go that fast? He's very secretive about it. I'm looking for information on it.

The Victory pipe weights in at 536 grams so the pipe is light also very and I mean very quiet.
