well finaly i just finshed making my stinger facing done (only took like 10 mins to make)
i was sick of getting fuel on my tyers so i made the stinger face down to the ground,
and wow what a difernts in sound, and i dont get any fuel on my wheels so im happy

what is that? a clothes hangar and a screw?

no lol.........i tryed to bend the origanel thingo and that broke, soooooo....i had a broken Ariel
so i cut that up and made it the right lenghth

getto hay!!!!!!![sm=lol.gif]

whatever works i guess.

In what way was the sound different? I used to point the stinger down until I noticed on my driveway a pile of oil then a nice line of it. Even though they wash away with the next rainfall, I ended up changing it. Just a matter of personal preference.

sound differnts.....well i would say it's more louder and ummmm well it sounds more crippy
i get a line of oil on my drivway anyways lol evern if its out to the side

I'll be te first to say that that might not be a good idea. Yea it might keep the oil off of your tires, but when you hit the ground off of a jump, you can count on dirt plugging up that exhaust port.

It's looks like the exhaust will go right under the rear tire. It will get messed up with oil anyway.

I agree with willy. I have a rustler and it had a 360 stinger coming out the back and every time it flipped end over end it would plug up and kill the engine.

yeah i thought of dirt, but with the wheels that i got on it now, well they dont Even allow the car the hit the ground

i thank you very much for pointing that out lol......never thought of that, oh well half the time im at the track the car dosen't flip over.
but saying that the first time it dose ill put it straight back
thanks again

oh and i got this idea from the savage and i understand that its stinger goes thought the bottom as well, so what
happens if the savage rolls over?

The Savy does have the sting pointing down, but go to www.hpiracing.com and look at the pictures of it. It can't hit the ground beacuse of where it is mounted on the chassis. The chassis will hit the ground before the pipe will.

kk i wasn't relay worried if it hit the ground.....i was worried when the car is up side down, but the savy has the stinger like i do
and iv seen it upside down heps of times so i guess its OK

looking at it again i don't think you can hit it on the ground unless you tried really hard. It isn't sticking down as far as it was last night. lol..or i didn't have my glasses on right..

well i have to go to school now so when i get back ill take a better pic

Cool..

ok here a pic with a very straight peice of mettle to show you that the stinger won't hit the ground

I don't see a problem with dirt. Good job if it works the way you wanted it too.

Just imagine me telling you "I told you so" when it does clog.

so now instead of it blowing on your tires its going to blow on the chassis and on the rear arm ....i have a savvy and what a pain everytime i pick it up i just get full of crap and i have a exhaust defector on it ... my nitro rustler blows right down the side of the body but no biggie ... i cleaned it up really good one day and put a coat of car wax on the body so now all the oil just wipes right off

Thats a good idea, thanks.

Ryan

wouldn't a dubro exhaust deflector have done the same thing? Thats what I use...

i did have a deflector on there, but Ive herd that it can put your tuned pipe out of tune.
not sure if that true or not?

I believe all of the tuning in the pipe happens before the stinger. As long as the deflector is not restricting exhaust flow it should be good.
