Innovative Hobbies carries two un-silenced pipes for the Smartech Titan which is the same thing as your Hurricane C5, the Hurricane is a hopped up version of the Titan. They have a JetPro, which appears to be out of stock, and the GBE pipe.

thanks, i'll look into them. would either of them behave like a ddm dom pipe?

 

[Bigger the Better]

I would think the JetPro would be like a DOM. Any photos of your model?
What do you think of it?

I noticed the hurricane c5 isn't included in the nutech distri uter site. is it being discontinued?

I noticed the hurricane c5 isn't included in the nutech distri uter site. is it being discontinued?

VS Modelsport worked with Nutech on designing the hurricane before nutech split away from smartech(his dad's company). So when he split, he decided to declare that the hurricane was not a nutech vehicles although the box says nutech on it. VS wanted it to be branded smartech but when production was done, they settled on it being branded as a nutech. It is not necessarily discontinued just renamed by nutech. You can actually get the hurricanes for $700 now on blowout specials.

so the new thunderbolt 2 and the truck variants are re-badged hurricanes?

 

[grfilipp]

no they are not
you can convert a titan/hurricane to a tb2 but they are not the same.
you will need diffs dobbones arms to start with and if you want an exact copy you need to look into gas tank radio box and other small bits.

i have a jetpro silenced on my titan and it is not like a dom.
it is a much more linear pipe. it gives you power from mid-low to very high, it does not have the boom effect of a dom.

 

[emu67]

ok so the thunderbolts are an updated design then. I wonder if that's the reaso hurricanes have gone in price. I'm tempted to pick up one of the new ones it go cheap with the hurricane? so many decisions!

 

[grfilipp]

the biggest issue with a titan is the diff cover/case that is very soft and when you try to put some power trough it destroys the pinion and crown. i tried the alloy version with no success and i bought the tb2 version (it is different) but have not tested yet

 

[grfilipp]

other probs like dog bones popping out and center diff been open and etc have solutions one way or another. tb2 is supposed to be a better car but have not seen a lot of testing been done as it is new. give it some time and see what the people that bought it have to say. if the titan probs have been rectified on the tb2 then go for it as it will be a very good truck for the money.

I did not decided to declare taht C5 is not under Nutech name or nutech car before, C5 is produced by SMT factory, and mold is belong to SMT, just the name use Nutech.

NOw we have our own factory and start to produce our own cars(with our own tooling) that's all

Thanks
