RN Tuning FAT POWER Mega Pipe?

This site may earn a commission from merchant affiliate

they're worth saving for for sure...in europe where the racing scene is huge many run RN pipes on stock 26 zen/cy motors cos the rules state you must have a standard motor but can pipe it, these pipes on a stock engine will smoke a ported 26 engine with say a jetpro.
Now i'm sure some will say BS, punch in rn fatpower or rn tuning on youtube and see what these pipes are like.
It may be 3 months or so before production will resume, so you have a bit of time to save up, but I'm set to start importing these pipes when they become available again.
 
I just recieved the RN Majic Bullet delivered to my office!

Yea sorry about the blurr picture is from my blackberry. I will get some video up for you I am in the process of putting the long travel front end on the truck.

Btw - I have to give props to No MOA, he is probably the best seller I have ever dealt with. I picked up the MCD from him and it was clean as can be. Not to mention the process was outstanding. Thanks again.
 
The RN Magic bullet for the MCD is not the best pipe RN have made.
you get more power with a Mielke or Jetpro.
it´s not all bad but it cant deliver eboh low end torque and hig end rpm as the Fat power pipes for FG.

but if you hav ea FG the RN tuning pipes are the best no doubt.

The rules abd regulation for Eurpean racing says yoiu can´t have en engine bigger than 26cc and oyou cant have any rotary valves on it.
but the rest is free. Reed valves. porting just about every trick thats in the book to get a 2 Stroke engine scream you can use.
but there are one litle problem. you cant refill the gastabnk and the fuel you have in the car when the race starts must hold for 30-45 minuttes.
and that regulats some of the tuning. if you tune your engien to hars you will not hav gas for the expekted 45 minuttes and you end up last. if you run out of gas first.
 
a pipe is a pipe at the end of the day, i think most of these tuned pipes are very similar,most offer good performance gains but im not sure if there would be a major gains to be had from an rn over a jetpro or ddm dom pipe.(maybe i could be totally wrong)

jetpro swear by the power in there pipes (i have one) they say wheelies are in demand with the newer jetpros such as my own,but what aids wheelies also is not such hp gains its the weight of the pipe too.

the differnce between any of these tuned pipes now is negotiable io think.

one would see better gains with a bigger engine i think.

want more power,bigger tuned engine simple as that,that is the way it always has and will be....

certain pipes do rely on back pressure to create the right power gain from engine which means pipe needs to be tuned highly to suit engine rotation and flow,this just more applies to larger four stroke engines,i think a lot of misconseptions are floating around about two stroke pipes.

jetpro swear by the power in there pipes (i have one) they say wheelies are in demand with the newer jetpros such as my own,want to know why the weight of the pipe at the rear.... thats why....

Click to expand...

A 2 stroke pipe has nothing to do with back pressure, that's for 4 strokes. A 2 stroke relies on the sonic wave forcing unburnt fuel back into the cylinder, not back pressure. The wave slamming unburnt fuel is similar to a supercharging effect.

The length, shape and angle of the convergence and divergence cones are what determines what the pipe will do for the motor. The stinger (or outlet) have a little effect in there too.

If you don't see a difference between the power with a pipe and without it, it is either WAY out of tune, or you have the wrong pipe for your application.

Your Jet Pro is a low end pipe, your ported race motor is a high rpm motor, that's why it doesn't work for you. Put a top end pipe on that O'niels and watch what happens to your mid-top end... You'll probably be able to keep up with your on road..


Trip..
 
read my comment again trip i just said that a four stroke relies on back pressure not a two stroke lol

this is just based on some of my research trip,i have done alot recently on engines and pipes......

the set up on mine now is fine i was just trying to point out that i have tried a few pipes now and the differnce between all the pipes i have tried was minimal(not standard pipe obviously)

im happy enough for now with my combos performance,it is good down low as you say and up high.

im just saying that for the money i wonder are these rn pipes worth it.

Any change in a pipes size, length, or what ever will change the performance of the pipe.
DC, If you installed the 3 piece FG pipe you would think something is wrong with your 27.2 motor off the line compared to your Jet Pro. But swap it around and you will notice a mid to top end difference. You can then install a DDM pipe and you will find it take off a bit better but you can actually let off in mid throttle and throttle back on and get it to wheelie in the middle of the RPM's which you cant get on the other two. There is a difference it's just expensive to get them all and see it.:clown: I guarantee it!;)

Here is a small link that may help if you have not seen it yet. And this is just messing with length:

yes i too would like the rn pipe they are meant to be awesome,i just would need to try one on to believe the hype for myself lol

also btb them dom pipes look very good and yes i do believe you...
 
RN hope to be back in production before the end of the year...until then good luck trying to find one..I passed up a couple of 6012's cos i wanted a 6004...now i wish i'd got a 6012 as I'm giving my fgbaja a facelift to a beetle baja.
And dc believe the hype, the rn fatpower s is the dog's bollocks.
 
RN tuning pipes is no longer available.

RN tuning have acted as a distibutor for the pipes and sold them under theri own name. the fact is that it si www.victoryrc.nl that have fabricated an developed the tuning pipes.
www.rc-racing.no is at the moment the norvegian distributor, and www.fg-hobby.dk is the Danish distibutor.

as my frriend at www.rc-racing said to me the pipes will be cheaper and it will be much more easy to get hold of the pipes.
as far as he knows RNtuning have struggeled for awile and have had money problems. the producer of the pipes have hold back their orders til they have manaed to pay for them,
at last this has been a problem for us the customers that havewanted the badest tuing pipe sfor our Large Scale Cars.

www.rc-racing.no is at the moment working with Victory to develop pipes that is made specialy for the O´neill brothers engien his is selling.
most of teh tuning pipes on the market to day is made for 23 or 26 cc engines.
a tuned engien needs a pipe that is nade specialy for it to perform even better. a normal tunign pipe will work just great but to get that litle extra he will develop even better pipes.

it will be interestig to see how much more power it is possible to get from this tuned engines. maybe i have to make i pipe for my Cleon.
 
My good friends (Pro5thScaleRacing.com) in NewYork City is the only U.S Distributer for the VictoryRC/RN Tuning Pipes. I am also a friend of Eric from Rc-Racing.de and he has is own pipes made for his Tuned Engines.
 
Hello BK,
Yes, we have received a sample months ago from Victory, I must say, we were extremely surprised with the pipes performance and quality material used to make the pipe.
We are also extremely excited about the large selection in design we will be able to offer these pipes in.
Rear mount, side mount, Zen or CY and depending bore, the pipes are basically tailor made for different layouts and peak performance.
This will really give you a personal touch to each drivers setup.

Anyway, the current link listed in the site is wrong, our web address is www.pro5thscale.com, we are also a proud sponsor of this forum and you can find our banner to the right of this site.

Thank you very much
