that looks well nice, a bit like the baja ss pipe,

Try Nimrif models (http://nimrifmodels.co.uk/ email them if you can't find it on the site), they do a tuned pipe for £45. it won't beat a Jetpro or other *expensive* pipe, but it'll make you grin. In my opinion that's the best bang for your buck, but if you want durability and killer performance, you'll have to spend closer to £100 on a pipe.

See this for a JetPro review (£120 ish) https://www.largescaleforums.com/showthread.php?t=9652

See this for some info on the Fasttrax pipe (£75 ish)

i run a hpi ss pipe there only 60quid and made of alloy ,do,s it run outside the bodyshell if it runs inside its out of harms way.

no looks like this runs outside the shell on my super attack but should be ok

thanks BrawnFG for the great link

well 15kg car + 40mph + a bit of driver error will bend anything!

you get what you pay for, provided that you have a decently strong wing/shell which protects the majority of the pipe, and you don't drive like a loony you shouldn't bash a fasttrax pipe too badly.

The crash that killed my Nimrif pipe was a 40mph fully airborne cartwheel landing square on an unsupported pipe without a wing. It ripped off the pipe at the header, where the pipe wall thickness is 2.5mm. I doubt any pipe would come out of that unscathed.
