Not near a no pipe situation...BottledBeast, at the bash, was driving his maxx w/o a pipe and my truck was definately quieter than his. Just get over the pipe ppl, it's not even as loud as some 1/8 out there.

hopefully pro series bans those loud pipes this year. One can only hope.

If they pass the dB rules then they can't ban them. Yes they are very annoying and loud but I don't think they are louder than the 1/8 scale pipes.

Please... I spend more time marshalling than driving. They are real close to some, louder than others, and quieter than some I ahve heard. They are a very loud pipe I know but I am not sure if they are louder than the allowed dB level. If they aren't we can complain all we want and it will do no good...

sorry for hittin the bees nest... i get perterbed when somthing makes THAT much noise but cant clear a tiny double. if its that loud it better be rippin!

FreeRideFrosty · (#507 (**permalink**))

LoL... That I can agree with. Whenever I hear them I turn expecting to see a UMT or Buggy tearin it up... all I get is dissapointed. LoL

ok, im on the middle of the fence on this idea. i need a way to start my revo. lol ive had it for like a month and i havent been able to drive it cuz i havent had a way to turn it over. it was converted to bumpstart so the crank is cut already. i just dont have hte money for a starter box for the revo. i have the ezstart harness but idk if i wanna install it cuz that requires taking the engine apart and replacing it with a stock crank that isnt cut. but wut about a pullstart? can the crank be cut if i use a pullstart? or does it have to be stock not cut? also if i can even use a pullstart on a 2.5r where can i get one. i realllllllyyyyy wanna drive it and ive been working on it for a while and now its just sitting here....gimme some ideas.

FreeRideFrosty · (#509 (**permalink**))

You can't use a pullstart on a cut crank... but I do have a stock crank and a pullstart if you are interested. Your best bet right now... to get running... would be to ask around at the track to use someones box untill you can get your own or modify another one like I did. Other than that not too much I can tell you...

Ponch · (#510 (**permalink**))

Yeah, go PS. Get a reg crankshaft (is this an os or a 2.5?) and the traxxas pull start + owb.

FreeRideFrosty · (#511 (**permalink**))

That is the cheapest way to be able to run it at your house and not have to depend on someone loaning their box to you. PM me if you are interested in the stock crank, OWB and 2.5 PS.

north_shore_racer · (#512 (**permalink**))

ya well im not gonna be racing for a while so i wont be able to borrow a starter at the track....cuz well i wont be at the track. pullstart sounds best right now.

would it be safe for me to put my reciever on top of my rx pack where the servo goes?

Ponch · (#514 (**permalink**))

Yeah John.

I have to admit, the Trinity pipe is much louder than stock, but if you keep the restrictor in, it isn't any louder than some of the 1/8th scales out there. If you take out the restrictor (which screws into the end of the stinger), it is a LOT louder. I have only run the stock pipe and trinity pipe, and am happy with the performance ut added. I tried to run without the restrictor, just to see the difference. I almost went deaf, and I couldn't get the temps down.
