Wow..That is Nize lookin!! Can you please tell me where you got it...How about cost??

Yup...Looks like this may become the T&M Shadow thread!!

Can you post some pics of the Belly Pan/Tunnel area...

I have a few YS .45's that need to get out of their boxes..he he...I was wondering if there may be room in the belly to run a Hatori 400 Pipe?? (Old School Full Length 7.5cc two cycle pipe)

I was kinda on the verge of getting a Kyosho Oxalys 50...But I'd wind-up wanting to go get a YS .63 and one of the Short Pipes for it...That design doesn't look like I could run the Long Pipe without allot of work on the belly pan...

I would Really like to use one of my existing engines...I want to avoid running the pipe down the side of the Fuse...I'd like to use a tunnel if I can...

Thanks...

Chuck

edit: After looking at the photos again...It looks like there won't be enough room for the pipe without modification similar to the Oxalys...Oh Well...I suppose I need to just decide if I want to modify the belly..Or come off the hip for a new engine.. [sm=drowning.gif]

ive got an os 55 that deserves something better than what its currently got! should do nicely swings a 12.5*8 at 9700. i never realy got into 4 strokes.

ill get a whole stack of photos on soon

I just opened her up and to my suprise.

One solid wing piece. The cowl doesnt go over the top but can be taken off right down to the front of the wing but doesnt come off on the top. Hope this makes sense (photos to come).

But more interesting is the two half semi circles cut out around the wing on the fuz down the plane. Im guessing these are for a pipe. Id imagine half the pipe is on the outside half inside the fuz.

The best thing about this kit is the amazing hardware.. Proper sturdy horns, Bearing clevisis YES BEARINGED! Im not normally into standard hardware but this ones going 100% standard

Did i mention i bought the kit for 249$ Australian approx 200Us! bargain

Man...That's Kewl!!

So there appear to be provisions for pipe under the belly...Half in and Half out would be fine...

So price wise that's not too bad huh...Similar pricing to the Kyosho Oxalys I'm interested in...

I suppose I could Modify the Oxalys to run the pipe half in and half out like the Shadow...But I really loved the YS .63 and Hatori Mini Pipe instillation I've seen on that one...That's why I kinda considered buying the engine/pipe set-up...Just cause it looks soo kewl...he he

Oh Decisions Decisions...

Great news on the Hardware Kit!!

Thanks...And love to see the pics when you get them!!

Have Fun...
