30DN 29cc pipe

[kbailey45us]

I have a 30DN BWS 5B buggy with 29cc. Runs like a top. Is there another pipe for it that will add performance? If it holds up I may put a Zenoah in it when this engine craps out but was wondering about the pipe. I ordered the taller gear set not sure the 29cc can handle it. Also can I add the bigger pinion or other spur to kind of go "in between" or are the pinion and spurs "matched". Been busy and rainy so I'm waiting on some good weather to really tune this thing.

you could try the 2.0 pipe , I hear it is much better than the MK1 pipe , and fits straight on , If you have the cash there is a new Victory Racing Nautilus pipe in silenced or unsilenced . rcmodelz in the UK have them listed.

I'm waiting on a motor, but I was curious how is the stock tuned pipe?

I love the way my stock pipe sounds. On my buggy it comes directly out of the back. Performance seems good

Wasn't actually worried about the sound per se, I was wondering about the performance.....

I don't really have anything to compare it to. This is my first 1/5 scale car. Haven't even had the chance to really stretch it out top end either.

The guys at rcmodelz in the UK and on some vids I saw reckoned that the original MK1 pipe strangled the engine a bit , but the MK2 pipe is a big improvement.
The Victory Racing nautilus pipe Is the only other option I have seen and it is rather good I hear.
I am sticking with my mk2 system at the moment , but am turning up a carbon silencer for it.

Thanks for the input. Probably gonna get a bone stock 320 in the coming days and just modify it over time. Need to get used to the size of 1/5.
