Job done. I try the desert runner to see how protactive is from getting small gravel inside.

Biscuit

Nice job, you want to run this on nitro so much faster

asus5

Yes I know it gets more faster accelaration I have also the 2 speed box.

asus5

Ok so the dessert runner done the job 40 mins run and the inner still clean.

Biscuit

I would love the two speed but impossible to find

asus5

With 105mm wheels, methnol and nitro.

Looks great, how you like the car on nitro?? Much faster !! I wish I could get one of those 2 speed boxes ��

asus5

Much more faster accelaration and better rpm.The original compagnucci gearbox is 3 speed. I will upload a photo. I made this box from serpent gears,clutch and made the shafts on a lathe.

Biscuit

I have a lathe can you tell me how you made this gearbox
many thanks

What exactly you want to know? May be this will help you I done this gearbox 9 years ago.

Biscuit

Thanks so much, I may have a go if I can get the parts, the rest I can make, many thanks for taking the time to do this for me.

Welcome

The final modification to my agressive compagnucci with dynamite tuned pipe claimed approx 98km/h.

Biscuit

That must go so well with that pipe, where did you get that pipe from ?

asus5

From e bay search for losi xxl-2 that is for .31 2 stroke engine that engine revs up to 30,000 rpm it only cost me 12€ with shipping.

Biscuit

Does it make a difference to the power ?
Thanks does the manifold come with it I searched but can't find it
��

asus5

Yes it makes the power band wider without any loss at the bottom end. Rev range improves a lot, I tried a lot of tuned pipe from other makes and didn't see improvement but this dynamite tuned pipe is like a booster.

Biscuit

Ah it's a dynamite one

asus5

The manifold is from Serpent I have it long time a go, with the tuned pipe dynamite there will be a manifold also but it's not good the shape

Looks good!

Biscuit

Yes it does, glad this thread still going, I'm thinking of making a stub manifold and hold manifold on with a spring like my 1/8 scale, thing is I have not got a lot of room down the side as I have narrowed my chassis so much

Look at the car:

Hi, if you search on ebay to find this type of manifold from serpent all you have to do porting to the face of the manifold, put the gasket of compagnucci on it to mark it and grind off the metal.
