King Motor Pipes

[rcplayground]

I am looking for a nice pipe to put on my dr but don't want to spend over $180 on one. Are the King Motor RC pipes any good?

I have the same dom pipe it looks very good but haven't install it

After you install it you most likely will be buying another pipe cuz the aluminum they use is cheap and you will most likely blow a hole in it. Now really how good can a $49 or $32 pipe really be?

I have one of those pipes on my DR, it's steel not alloy.It's a good pipe for the price.To make it fit i had to grind a little from the shock mount in the middle,bend the support bracket so it would bolt onto the rear of the chassis, drill a new hole to bolt the rear bumper, turn the rear bumper/wing supports upside down & remove part of the rear rollcage/wing support.

Was it worth it to do those mods? cause i want something that will give me more then just the low end gain that an xcan would give me but I don't want to spend hundreds of dollars

 

[TheCount]

Yeah it was worth it for sure.They weren't hard to do.

Okay, thanks for your help count

 

[TheCount]

No worries, glad to help

Yeah that pipe is cheap but seems very well made i got mine For the Mt thinking i could mod it but i would have to cut and weld and the cutting i can do but Welding i don't know how.

 

[TheCount]

I was thinking of doing the same after i got this one for my DR. i can do the welding.

Nice pipe on your dune runner

 

[TheCount]

Thanks. It does the trick on a budget.

I got the king motors pipe on my Baja and the ddm dominator on my dunney and love the sound and low-end they make

I just won the ddm fast pipe on eBay For 87 bucks im gonna try to fit that on the mt

 

[maddmike]

That's a good pipe from what I hear and a lot of people use that on there losi buggy conversions

Has anyone tried fitting the KM Ghost to a DR?

It's been done but I don't know if modding is required. Looks like it would melt the cage.

Be careful how much and where you mod the rear of the cage and rear bumper, it provides structural support to the rear of the chassis where the rear diff is mounted. When the cage is off you can flex this area easily by hand. Could be a problem coming off a big jump and landing on the rear if the support isn't there.

I am hopping the new rear mount Jetpro has a decent bumper.

A lot of people will fab a metal bumper for support when installing a pipe designed for a different platform.

I had one of these on mine, no modding & no issues with fitment or anything.
