No problem and thanks. The intake rubs the body a little but no biggie. Shouldn't be an issue in the w5
I am slightly aroused.

Got you. That sucks. Don't forget to do the clutch housing mod on the 34 before you shoe horn it in. You have to remove material where I have it marked out below.

I'm putting a 30.5cc reed case rooster tail engine in the truck, I went with a Aussie based manufacturer, save on shipping , I read lots of good reviews on roster tail engines, was going to get a full mod 34 , but was told that the MCD barracuda tuned exhaust pipe will restrict & smothere a 34cc tuned engine, as they are made for 26cc to 29cc, I can only find two after market pipes on line for MCD, Booster pipes, & a samba pipe on eBay, how does your 34 go with the barracuda pipe

Like a raped ape? And sounds phenomenal with the pipe. Here's a 26 efra roostertail in my xr5. I didn't need to do the mod for it and you should be good too I believe.

I'm not saying it may not be restricting it but if it is I would love to see it with a 34 tuned pipe? Maybe I'll try it with my losi 5b olimat

Look's like a real Off road weapon, very nice, but can't identify the make & model
That wood b interesting to see if you notice any difference between the two, I was told by the Damien at rooster tail, believes that the barracuda pipe would restrict a 34cc, that's y I decided on the 30.5, hard to find aftermarket pipes for MCD, do U know of any others besides the ones I've mentioned
