Default Hop Ups for Maximum ST??

I have a Duratrax Maximum St with torq 16, and want to upgrade it. I think the first thing i want to do is add a tuned pipe. Which one would be the best to get? what other hop ups should i get? any input would be usefull.
thanks

Default your in luck

i got a maximum st with the torq 16 engine i have a mip stinger tuned pipe and a high proformance cooling head with tons of compression i got a 2 speed transmission with metal spur gears
i used dremal tool to grind out the carbrator

i can not use a pull start on it because of all the compression i use a drill with the one way baering

top speed is about 47mph i want to get it to go 50mph but this is the fastest it can go


here is a pic before i put my cooling head on it (pic of the pipe)

Default pipe

i got the mip stinger pipe MIP 360 Stinger Kit GTX


its a really nice pipe and its alot quieter than the stock muffler

this will add about 3-5 mph top end power if you want good torq drill out the carb and get a 2 speed trany

i am killing my buddys 2700 dollar tmaxx with ease
and i am blowing the traxas nitro sport out of the water

i might be getting a os.21rdb engine that will make my maximum a st super lol

also if you are looking for parts for your car i have 2 spare maximums with new rims and tires and engines .12s


i am thing of making up a 4 speed tranny but i dont know where to get started


well good luck

Hobby place,

I just ordered the same stinger kit, based on your using it. Are there any mods I must do to get it to work or fit?

What else have you done to the truck?
