AE Tuned Pipe

[bforum3]

I've heard so much about the AE Tuned Pipe, where can i get one.

i run that pipe in both versions on all my rc cars. u can get it at any LHS, but also by clicking here: http://www.towerhobbies.com/listings/cat-cat-g.html

Is it that good? Can u tell a big difference using this pipe?

 

[mcvickj]

I am not sure. That pipe and this header was recommeded to me for the OS .15 CV-RX I just installed into my Maxx. I plan on stopping by my LHS to see if they have this in stock.

Thats the pipe, but that pic shows the old version, the new vwersion of that pipe has a mounting nipple on the end. It is a great pipe for low end power. While your at it get the Duratrax big tube header, it is a great combo, I use it on two of my maxxes.

Duratrax Header

that was the old one - trying to get the listing for all of them - u can see them all at www.rc10.com

they make pipes for low end power, high rpm power, and everything in between.

thanks ill be ordering the ae pipe and duratrax big tube header.

wait where is the hole on the pipe for the tube that goes to the gas tank of the maxx and pushes gas through to the carburator?

 

[Nitroaddict]

its there - about 1 inch from the end of the pipe, about 180 degrees around from the stinger. make sure u get the torque tuned version, and not the RPM tuned version.

 

[mcvickj]

How can you tell between the two versions NA?

 

[bforum3]

yeah it doesn't tell here

this is the RPM tuned version

can u see the difference?

 

[mcvickj]

Yes. Thanks for the info NA and Zoomer. Does there a different version of this pipe that has a pressure fitting? Or does all of the AE pipes come without one?

 

[Nitroaddict]

they come without it. i dont use one, and sometimes the fuel drains from the tank to the pipe when i am traveling, which kinda sucks, as it makes a mess when it dribbles out of the stinger. i have seen alot of people just jb weld one on there. the standard pressure fitting from most pipes will not fit, the hole is too large, I've tried, but maybe one from a .21 pipe, the the THS might.

 

[bforum3]

what is the pressure fitting?

its the small nipple that attaches to the pipe, which the pressure line(fuel tube running from exhaust to fuel tank) connects to.

 

[bforum3]

oh ok

Will the duratrax manifold and the ae tuned pipe fit on the t maxx without modifying it? or will i have to do something to it.
