Build Thread Warby's Traxxas Nitro Sport Pro restoration

[CertifiedMike]

It's not stickers. That's silkscreened on the inside, just like Traxxas does their bodies. They just leave the final color dealer's choice.

Ok. Yeah, never saw that before. Cool!

Even if it is, I'll use the one I made as its a lot stronger. I made it the same shape as the header flange.

I'd get a jato or revo pipe. They have single chamber and dual chamber. Find tge one that fits your need.

About that. What difference does single or dual chamber make?

If memory serves me..... single is more power low to mid range. Dual is mid to high rpm power. Single chamber might be a bit louder. Dual chamber i think is smother over all.

@Warby. Bit off the wall here, but what is lucky number in Australia? So far in my research come up with the number 8, as in the 'Road Warrior' V8 Interceptor.

Intend to begin the 2026 RC Grass Track season next year with an Australian Pursuit tri-oval event. Thinking using the Australian lucky number (8?) as number of laps. -AC

Not really sure. 7 when I googled it.

Look what just arrived. I finally got one. I'm very happy.

The header pipe is a lot bigger diameter than the stock header.

Congrats man-‘bout time ya caught a break.

The inlet of the perfect fit header is wider, too, to match the port.

Vs stock

I'll put them side by side when I removed the stock one.

 

[Warby]

Also got the last of the hardware

Glad it's no longer a pipe dream.

I was getting exhausted.
Now I just need some header

I suppose this means you need a new gasket now?
