Hi guys, New member here on the forums. I have recently got back into the hobby after many years. I was originally into nitro on road cars and always wanted to get into 1/5 scale. So yes i know alot of people hate on Rovans and the 45cc engine but its just an introductory 1/5 vehicle for now.
Unfortunately the exhaust header supplied by Rovan does not line up with the port and is way too small ( i suppose that's what you get with knock off brands) and is chocking and seriously affecting the potential available in this stock motor. Before installing i will also polish up the ports. It is also under-carburettored (will look into that next).
I can see plenty of tuned pipes available for this model but nothing that fits the 45cc motor. I was curious if some one can point me in the right direction for a complete tuned pipe setup. Otherwise I am happy to make a header setup myself (i am pretty good with metal work) and i can hook it up to a off the shelf tuned pipe, so if you can recommend a tuned pipe muffler to me that would be great. As i am in Melbourne, Australia I don't have many options apart from purchasing online
I can see a South African fella on youtube is running a BAJA tuned pipe set up...Unfortunately its not made for it and looks silly, the V5 model is 4wd and the port runs on the side rather than the back.
Looking forward to your replies. I have learned so much from reading through this forum already.
Cheers
