Second Mod
I just finished my "ColdAir" mod. I know it's old school, but I thought I'd show a pic anyway. I think I'll add a 90 degree elbow. The tubing isn't meant to make that small of a radius. Also coming is the hood scoop, to feed the air directly. I've got it started but not quite finished. I know the scoop won't make much difference, but it was fun to build.

RE: Second Mod
The tie wraps are to protect the head from getting scuffed-up. Even with the body on the head was scratched during a back flip... [

Thanks! Yes, I did make the scoop. It's a work still in progress. I'm trying to decide on the way in which it feeds the carb. I have a couple ideas but can't decide which to use...

RE: Second Mod
Nice job on the air intake mods, and the scoop looks great. If you are looking for an actual performance gain though, check out an 1/8 scale dual stage buggy filter. They have a higher flow volume, and basically a 360degree intake, as opposed to the front face intake like the stock filter. The Thunder Tiger/AE filters are the best cause of the foam they use, but any 1/8 scale dual stage, Crono, Ofna, RB, are all excellent.

Also, thanks for the lead on the 1/8 buggy filters. I'll be checking into them soon!
