mcd xs-5

I decided not to run with a pipe. The exhaust exit under the left wheel which is pretty stupid to me and I'm not a racer so the g320 is enough for me.

Ordered mine yesterday Seems to be very interesting as they change the mechanical layout, more like a ''losi''. Major work on the aerodynamical side with a major weight loss. I'll start with a torq monster the G320 and see what i'll need to add with the use and testing...

I'm still questioning myself about the pipe. Is it really needed with a 32. Also, the proximity of the pipe heat transferred to, first: the cooling air entering by the pull start and second: the pipe finishing just under the carb should higher the running temp of the engine and warm the air/fuel mixture at the carburetor.

What do you think?...

Can I see a picture please.

Here it is...

Here it is...

Thx you I see what you mean about the heat transfer, will some parts get melted?

Do you think that exhaust would melt the surrounding plastic parts?

I don't think so, but still hot enough to higher the engine running temp and the air/fuel mix from carb. for sure...

Better i'm thinking of it, more confident i am about the idea to get a bigger displacement engine to compensate for the unuse of a pipe...

My first choice would have been a 29 for this car. But in this case, a 32 is becoming my best now.

May help the engine with a lightened flywhell, to help it to get in rpm faster.

Heres a video of me doing some parking lot driving to test out the XS-5. I love this car :good:

I hope you enjoy the video

Do you have any video of your car running would love to hear how it sounds!!

Didn't received the car yet. Here in Québec, it's winter. Too cold to drive it outside now.

Where did you purchase your exhaust from?

Chimera guy, where can I purchase the exhaust for the xs5 or do I really need one?

 

[chimera guy]

I'm running stock exhaust and it moves pretty good i'm waiting on jetport to release a pipe for it. I'm not sure how the MCD pipe performs.

Well if I can ever find a way to post pictures I will show my xs5 FT
