I've looked everywhere for those silicone stinger tips that redirect the exhaust. Nothing. Nada. Nowhere.
I've tried every combination of words on numerous searches.

What am I looking for?
 
Great choice! One better though, the GN-X :thumbup:

Yep, this is true. I really love those cars to this day. I saw the new Regal grand sport today, and I have to admit, I really like it, 275HP with an actual manual gearbox too. Buick attempting a return to the good ole' days maybe?

Lol

I'm FINDING it.

I also found this, which will be useful to all of us.

That nub on the bend is not a pressure fitting, but a nub to hold the plug line up when running. Great to keep dripping oil out of your back seat.

Nice idea on that one. My heli has a plug that gets removed completely, and inevitably lost at some point.
 
I always keep a paper towel twisted and spun into the deflector. Eventually I'll be doing a total rebuild and I'll be adding one of those.

I've already ordered a couple of standard deflectors for something I'm trying on the Bling Thing Savvy.

Yep, I the PT trick too. But it soaks through on longer rides out of town when the toys go with me. Only nitro rig I have now is the 600, and it's still a long ways from breathing any air.
 
You mean the one that has never had fuel in it? Awesome! Totally Awesome! :hehe:
Nope, this one has many hours on it, including the oil residue that's permanently burned on and baked onto the muffler.

.....Slap upside the head for you.

Oh, sorry. I guess I AM losing it. I was referring to the .46 nitro heli, so yes, the one that hasn't had fuel in it.

Slap upside the head is still deserved.

some of those foam ear plugs works great for stuffing the exhaust for the ride.

Just dont forget to remove it before running... ask me how i know....

great tip I throw a pair away every day and never thought of that. the cord could be used to retain the body clips I keep loosing also.
 
Please elaborate.:D
