[a6lns]

Hi guys I thought I would start again and I am in the right section my losi 5t is here just a question I can’t get them pipes you recommended would this be ok or not

 

[DougStar]

yes it will work??
better than the can

 

[misterleon]

Give it a go. If you like it great if you hate it sell it and get something else

 

[Haric]

Yep what he said??

 

[a6lns]

Anything else I’ve got to get or look out for

 

[misterleon]

Killswitch and have fun. Upgrade whatever breaks

Locktite all metal to metal screws, don't forget servo horn screws, ours both came loose.

My servo screws as well...also not sure its a fluke but my clutch holder walked off the crank because there was no loctite. Luckily nothing damaged but if i was you heed the loctite warnings and loctite your clutch bolts...im not a fan of the 30 north pipe only for the flex pipe in there i feel over time it will crack like a real car and i don't think your gunna find a replacement flex pipe for that...just my opinion

Those pipes are LOUD, its what came fitted to my truck, sounds great though. One thing I have done with mine is put a cable tie through the centre of the spring and onto the rear chassis brace to limit it's movement a bit as the flexi part has been known to fail on some pipes.

 

[Rep732]

bingo^^^^...great looking pipe but that flex pipe kept me away from it

Cos the standard pipe all the crap going on inside off shell so I want to get a different pipe

It's good pipe and seems to perform well. I coat mine in WD40 or GT85 after each day's bashing so it doesn't rust.

Try and get a piece off pipe to connect to standard muffler to direct it Down

Just remember, don't get anything just because its cheap, buy cheap buy twice. (This goes for any part in general). This pipe is pretty good.

 

[a6lns]

So this is the one I’m after olimate pipe but they are out off stock in the uk so I don’t no

Check your throttle endpoints To make sure you are getting full servo motion. You can also screw in the brake linkages to the servo arm and that will increase braking

 

[Rep732]

+1 @misterleon tighten the rods up some

 

[a6lns]

I did check the end points to make sure it’s not over stressing the servo I did adjust the brake linkage slightly would it be the servos cos are standard
