Im need to order a new manifold( for the Duratrax Evader. DTX .18) right away and I thought I would see if maybe I should just get a whole new pipe as well. I bent the sh*t outa the old manifold, im not sure just how I bent it the way I did, but I sent the truck into a nasty set of cartwheels, then I saw the pipe go flying, and after another 7-8 cartwheels, It finally stopped. So it broke the little piece of wire (the mount) then must have landed funny cause now the manifold points my pipe almost directly out the side of my truck.. Anyhow I need to order a new manifold no matter what.Now that I am browsing Towerhobbies I cant seem to find JUST the manifold, they sell either just the pipe or the whole set. Since I did dent the pipe anyhow maybe I should just get another one. but Since I am getting a new one anyhow... any suggestions on what pipe to get?
A link to the pipe would be most wonderful

what kinda pipe are you looking for?

Well I need to outfit my Evader ST with the DTX .18 ..
Honestly I just want to be able to bolt it on and fire it up..I just thought that maybe since I have to get a new one anyhow I would see what my options were. I dont want to have to 'Jerry Rig' the pipe to stay on..lol so something that will fit the stock mount.

The THS 1/10 scale pipe is NICE its chrome and it fits right on it is spring coupler and stuff...you just need to rebend the little silver pin thing that the end of the pipe goes onto its worth the 50$ or 60$

here is just the manafold

Nice, man I searched for that forl ike half hour..lol...So if I understand correctly, you can basically put any muffler(PIPE) onto any engine as long as it mounts the way you need it to. Cause its the manifold that creates the 'seal' and the connection to the engine.And the silicone connects the manifold and pipe. If I get THAT manifold I can install most pipes with the same general shape..?

Thanx Lossi

no problem
yes you can install any pipe on your truck as long as it will fit

i was only on tower for 5 min lol

..!.,

^
huh?

LMAO. Thats me giving you the finger

..!., lol.... I think I will just order the damn pipe set so I get the right stuff, then I will take my old pipe to My LHS and get an upgraded one. I got my GST check today (Im Canadian) so I am going to buy a Micro Road car to.. yay...my GF is gonna kill me so SHHHHHHHHHH dont tell her..

lol well then ..!., you to

why dont you just order the header and use the old pipe?

Mostly because I am to impatient and I will put the Order on Rush and pay an arm and half my leg, so I may as well make it worth it. Im calling around right now to LHS to see if any of them have it in stock first, just the Manifold and the Mounting thing..lol.
Well thanx for your help and I hope ya know the ..!., was a joke, cause soon as you said it took you 5 min, I found the stupid manifold right where I was looking...Go figure huh.

shoot dude.. I've got one laying here you can have...

the problem is, I'm about 60 miles from tower hobbies, so it'll take just as long to get the manifold from me as it will them..

Thasts a mighty fine offer. I actually found one in Town here, its the whole set, but thats ok..With all the spare parts and upgrades I can almost buiild a whole new stock truck Minus engine and Radio... So I guess if anyone is interested I could possibly get a parts list with part Numbers and so on... I have no use for some of the parts...

So I ended up just getting the whole dam set with new pipe and mount and manifold..
Heres a pic of the bent manifold

WOW good job dont know how that happened the manifold is more in the frame i would have thought the a arms would have deflected it well im rong,lol, u get my PM i can help u with that pipe

are you just lucky, or did you actually practice to bend that thing that bad? [:-]

I figured the same thing, I didnt notice it was bent until I tried to put the pipe back on and couldnt figure out why the pipe was pointing out the leftside window. What was sposed to be a 90 deg. elbow is more of a 140 deg. angle.


Well if practicing means doing a bunch of SETS of cartwheels before eventually breaking something, then...yup I practiced...lol
I didnt manage to bend or break anything else.
Oh well, new pipe and new manifold are now installed, ready to practice on another part.

well, if you break anything in the next few days, let me know.. seems to me that I have a truck headed up your way in the next couple of days, I may be able to talk him into sneaking some parts up to you..

thestracat..

All I have left that is aluminum is the A arms. And I have like 3 sets of those cause I know better then to think they wont break. lol

I like your Quote by the way..lol So true
