well i've got a few questions. First of all i have an HPI Nitro Rush with a o.s. 18 cv-r after market shocks and proline tires with associated wheels. My first question is what kind of tunes pipe would be best for the os 18? Who makes aftermarket aluminum/graphite parts? and is the hpi rush obsolete now because of the firestorm even with the 18 in it?

Thanks in advance,
Mike

The Rush was discontinued about 3 or 4 months before the Firestorm came out. If you do a search you will see there are a couple of old threads on it. As far as a pipe has a lot to do with what you are looking for and how much you are welling to spend. Make sure you buy a lot of extra parts particularly the weak middle gear in the transmission. Make sure you have the slipper clutch set properly at all times.
Good Luck and have fun.

When I had my rush, I used a c-vec pipe, adjustable inner chamber (not roar legal) and it was great. Asia tees dot com have tons of aluminum parts. You shouldnt have troubles finding rush parts, atleast for a year maybe two.
I still have a front and rear carbon fiber towers, sway bar set front and rear and other rush evo parts just sitting, was going to ebay them when I get the time.
The rush is a fair truck, pretty solid but dont expect to out run a xxxnt on the off road course, the rush works better on oval racing.
Check out the rush evo thread, more links to parts and after market goodies. Hope this helps.

One of the best pipes u could get is the RD logics OUTLAW 2 when u look for it its goin to say its made for the RS4 2 buy that one i ran it on my RUSH and it HALLED!!!! plus its ONE PEICE PIPE
