Just finished installing the remote kill. Had to remove the engine. Took about an hour and a half to finish. Routing the cables was a pain in the ass and not something I want to do again.

Lol. My wife gave me grief too. But it's usually easier to beg forgiveness than ask for permission. Anyway, I had the cash and buying this didn't put any financial strain on me or my family. If you want one, consider selling something and/or saving some money.

Btw, the pipe is an Uber RC Predator v2.5. Here are some pics:

Only potential problem with the pipe is that it makes slight contact with part of the roll cage. To prevent anything from melting, I will install some exhaust wrap today. It's hard to tell from the angle of the photo, but the pipe touches the bottom protrusion of the cage.

I also installed a set of FFRC skid plates:

Here's how I have the kill switch setup. No space in the receiver box so had to use a servo extension lead and route everything to the battery box. Sent from my SGH-T999 using Tapatalk 2

Installed the kill switch led this morning. Only thing that's left to do is to put some gas in the tank and break the motor in.Sent from my SGH-T999 using Tapatalk 2

Installed titanium exhaust wrap. There is now very little clearance between the bottom of the pipe and the rear drive shaft.

Dear God this pipe is sooo loud. I thought I would have started a riot in my neighborhood. I was only able to stand it for 5 minutes as I was afraid my neighbors would come out and shoot me.

Meant to ask...is the Losi 1/5 all standard measure hex screws (or did they finally start using metric like everyone else)...sounds funny, but this really puts me off to losi a little bit. (even though I've owned an 8T!)
