Exhaust wrap....

don't like it tbh.?...I'll try a new viton seal in the pipe joint first...if no joy I'll hose it...?
And a right feker to get apart once wrapped..
I also thk that new top header spring is pulling to tight as its for a kx80 exhaust...So may b crushing the seal one side more so as it pulls the pipe side on slighty .....

 

[Seandonato73]

Yeah the wrap can be a bugger. Had to use it on my dbxl pipe to keep the cage from melting. Maby the new seal and the same spring top and bottom will fix it up..

 

[evssv]

yep.....I got the other spring....

only damage was this ...

evssv, sorry for a off topic question but the Losi's have a much different chassis design than the HPI Baja, which one do you like better ?

Man I had io close my eyes around those trees ?
You can tell there is a much smoother brake away of the rear wheels as both wheels slipped rather than one wheel unloading then both wheels slipping without warning. ?
