Retarded Horsepower? Just installed a .18

[johnboy72]

Ok, well just got my OS CV-R 18 in for my Drake1 XXXNT. At first I was scared I ordered the wrong crankstyle but after some looking through the parts box, I found the correct hardware to mount the clutch. I installed it tonight and everything looks ok. I have one question though, I am using my pipe and header that was on my Picco XP. Well it's the stock pipe that came with the Losi I guess. So should I look into a bigger pipe? I'm going to start breaking the engine in in the next few days. Looks like a V8 in a Pinto... I can't wait to let it hang all out!

Have you lost your mind, man?

I've experienced pipe issues of note only when I tried to channel a big-block (well, mid-block) .23 through the Revo's stock exhaust. I couldn't get the engine to sing at full rpm at all. I doubt you'll experience any notable restriction, and the pipe, if at all restrictive, will probably make your AD easier to drive.
