The best "TUNED" pipe guys. Like the HeliMax Shuttle Tuned Pipe. I was wondering which would give me the most output power.

The Nexus is a great Heli were just pulling your fuel tube. At this stage of the game a tuned pipe won't help very much. Your better off putting a hundred bucks a side towards your Sceadu .50 or buying a case of fuel.
Sounds like your right on top of this Heli flying too cool

Default tune pipes on a 30

There is one coming out that CY is making.
The only thing with a tune pipe is it can be a pain to set up and keep up.
If you want more band for power you can move up in Nitro.
Like if you are running 10% or 15% go to 20 or even better 30%.
That will increase power.
I hope this helps....
there is a western pipe too.

the pipe's not going to make that big a difference--the os 32 is already powerful for its size. if you want to do more aerobatic stuff, consider increasing your cyclic throw, getting lighter paddles, longer flybar, etc. to make the heli more responsive. and it's cheaper than a tuned pipe.

Abram, sorry, didn't mean to offend you, but all i meant to say was (as confirmed by others) that a pipe will not do enough of a difference to justify the money spent...
i wish i would have been able to fly when i was 16...
