Adjustable pipes & set pipes
I'm just getting into dirt ,xxxnt, MBX5 prospec.I'm a boat racer and there is now way i could use a preset pipe.Longer gives more power, shorter more rpms until you go too far in & then pull it back out a little.Try a bigger prop and you have to lengthen pipe, on a shorter corse you might have to do the same.Arent you loosing a tuning tool. You could pull your pipe out a little on a tighter course .This is only my second post so please don't jump my ***** because you think your pipe is the second coming of.....Rc univers rocks though[8D][8D][8D],,

RE: Adjustable pipes & set pipes
I wouldn't actually worry too much about the pipe. They can have a big effect of the performance of your engines but the way cars are driven is so much different than boats that pipe tuning doesn't ever need to change much. First of all, for the xxx-nt, just use the losi drake pipe and you won't have to go looking for anything else. 1/8th scale buggy's on the other hand are a little more sensitive. But the general rule of thumb is to buy a pipe to match your engine. Example, using a high rpm pipe for a high revving engine or torque pipe for an engine with great low end. That will usually give you the best overall performance for that motor.

Hi,
The distance between the header and pipe effects quite a lot in engine output and most of the companies offer pipe sets nowadays, non adjustable and don't use old days couplers anymore. Fix distance.
