revo pipe - Meatwad - 01-23-2007
what pipe should i get for my revo. i was thinkin either the resonator, or the vantage pipe. i got an os 18tm

for the love of god dont buy the trinity pipe! Get the vantage... Dimo had one and it seemed to work great (trinity pipe sounds lhorrible and is super loud)

dimo had what i got a stock pipe

I just told him in PM's not to get the Trinity one but I couldn't remember the other popular pipe besides the Vantage. The Trinity didn't work well with the .18's either though because the inserts are designed for .15 or .21 motors. The vantage was a high end pipe (I owned one) so it would probably tone down the torque a bit and still tear down the straights. It would probably help it out a little bit outdoor as well....

so the trinity pipe is out

He did just say it was out. What is the other pipe everone with the Revos were running?? There was the Vantage, the Trinity, and one other popular one....

ya i know there was another one, the vantage one cant be very good as it pretty much goes against like everything that makes sense about back pressure lol. Isnt there a pipe from OS for the .18 or no?

Some guys were running the THS.

FANTOM Pipe! Ugliest pipe I've ever seen, but it gave so much power compared to stock! It has a slightly larger stinger too (I think) so that'll be good for that .18. They can be found for around $30 plus shipping on ebay.
Edit-I can't find them on ebay. I'll look around later.

revo pipe - FreeRideFrosty - 01-24-2007

If you decide you really want a Vantage CF pipe, let me know. I have one that I used briefly that I could let go for a reasonable price.
In all honesty, when I compared the Vantage to the stock pipe, I can't tell them apart. The construction of the two is nearly identical, so you would think they operate in similar fashion, unless the CF material somehow changes the resonance of the pipe?
Some guys had the Traxxas Resonator Revo pipe, but I don't recall if they liked or disliked them.

the carbon fiber material wont get as hot causing a decrease in back pressure and usually in power as well. the fantom pipe gets twice as hot which gives the opposite effect

I had and loved my THS pipe. I was about to get this then I sold my revo. This is on the list when I get a new one.

The Traxxas resonator really works well on the 3.3. Way better than the Trinity. Great increase low and mid range, with no loss on the high end. I also saw the engine temps drop by 20 degrees while performance incresed.
revo pipe - FreeRideFrosty - 01-24-2007
He is running an OS .18 TM. Any word on how it works on there?? The THS I know for sure I have heard good things about.
revo pipe - Meatwad - 01-24-2007

revo pipe - Czech-it-Out Graphics - 01-24-2007
oh you poor bastage
revo pipe - FreeRideFrosty - 01-24-2007
Until you have mastered a class you should really focus on one..... there is a lot of wrenching involved in keeping 2 trucks running. Not to mention a lot of cash.
revo pipe - Meatwad - 01-24-2007
im gonna have 4 trucks soon
revo pipe - Czech-it-Out Graphics - 01-24-2007
good luck with that one lol 4 trucks damn
revo pipe - Meatwad - 01-24-2007
