There comes a point with these engines when LOOKING cool and RUNNING great is a long ways apart.
As ninnon mentioned, there's a fortune in time, money and research that goes into developing any improvements in a nitro engine, so there's very little you can do that will change it for the better.
Prime example....
A supercharger LOOKS SO COOL but you'll NEVER get one iota of improvement with it, even if you can make it run.
Agreed- That's how RB innovations makes money, selling cool looking things to people that don't know what they're buying is a piece of crap.

Yeah all I was trying to do was keep the exhaust in the engine compartment, nothing more but if it won't work it won't work nothing u can really do I guess ahah it's a shame but it will still be sick once it's going
 
Ur sponsored? That's sick , and yeah I'll have to cook something up here thanks to all for the help I'll post back when I have a different set up
I'm not personally sponsored, but as a forum we are :)

It will be AWESOME when it'd running- and you'll greatly appreciate the performance over looks. Once its done get some pictures up of it in the media section- I'm sure Rolex will have some advice on detailing if that's your thing :)

Yeah for sure I think I'll have the body and what not all sorted just gonna focus on getting it to run than I'll start the looks, can't wait!!! I'll deffiently post images ahah
 
That's sweet maybe u can send me stickers
I'd love some stickers- but most of the countries sponsored are american and, dependant on where you live will cost money to ship. If I could have stickers I would, but it would probably be 70x the value if the stickers to ship them to the UK. If you would like some stickers get in touch with the company and mention that RCNT forum sent you here :)

I was about to say oh, they're only two states away. And then I realise that they're 800miles apart, and that's nearly the same length of the whole country I live in, I saw what you meant...

Let's not forget a former member who once called something by Traxxas "a piss of crab." :crab:
We now have that animated smilie in his honor. :hehe:
Autocorrect is great sometimes. Who was the former member?
 
Sounds good :)

Obviously someone who never used spell check. Not sure if it was that "Cheetah" guy who also made a reference to Spell Check as "Speel Chicken".
Did u guys see the pics I posted I wanted to see what u guys think
 
So, you're back to the stock header? When you get it started, you'll have to tune from scratch. I'd also remove the stinger extension for now, then replace it after it's running correctly, then see if it needs an extra tweak.

Yeah I'm gonna make or find a header that works and yeah there's no exstension stinger on
 
Fire it up and tune it till it screams. That's a FIRST RATE pipe you've got on it.
Yes sir! I'm gonna take a vid and post it here for u guys to see and u can tell me what u think!!☺️☺️
