DDM Dominator Install on Losi 5IVE-T

[josegarcia8578]

Can someone share a video on how to install the dominator pipe? Any tips? I tried installing tonight but was not successful in the alignment. Any tips?

Also which hardware is used where? Instructions are unclear!



Thanks in advanced!

Thanks @Teejay112 ! I was able to install it. I had to increase idle though. Did you have to do that as well? 'm running stock needle settings

I did but when you take the car out you should notice the power increase straight away

@Teejay112 Yeah, for sure. Ding donuts like no other. I was just worried. I wasnt sure I did wrong by adjust the idle screw instead of the low neddle. Like always, scared of running lean. don't want to hide a lean condition with the idle screw


Do pipe make the engine run richer? Since more gas is pulled into the cylinder?

It did for me when i put the dominator pipe on

@Teejay112 :
Great. Thanks for the information. Makes me feel better. It makes sense, if runing rich, increasing idle is helping. Correct?

Thats what works for me because i like to keep my engine a little rich i even run mine a bit richer than stock settings and turn the idle up to compensate so it doesn't just cut off because thw idle speed is too low

 

[josegarcia8578]

@Teejay112 Yeah, I'm okay with running rich. It's already fast as heck. I'm not doing competitive racing so that's fine with me. I was just reading/doing research about expansion chambers and some people were saying they were running lean once the pipe was on. That got me confused because technically, atleast from what I read, expansion chambers pack more fuel into the cylinder.

See im not too sure i just know mine seemed to richen up but i always re tune i go to stock settings then a little richer till it doesn't want to idle with out a bit of throttle then i tighten the air screw bit by bit till i have a nice idle thats just my way of doing it to ensure i get enough fuel i don't mind losing a small bit of top speed running rich as long as i see smoke during idling and applying throttle i know im burning enough oil and fuel so im happy
