I know about 2 stroke engines, even the silicon deflectors at the end of the exhaust can have an effect, on my old 2 stroke 22cc scooter a small pipe off the exhaust killed power :shock:.
Not sure if it will fit, the manifold will bolt right on but it might hit the tyre or recoil starter….hmmmm
I was thinking of having the pipe on the left (obviously) side outside the shell. Between the wheels.
If i tried doing a hack job with the manifold i am sure i’d wreck it.

100% truth in that, i’m there from the 10th to the 18th.
HA! running the thing on 16% nitro now and its a HUGE improvement….the fuel is a cheaper brand, but is recommended by O.S.
The exhaust setup is silly, it makes the whole back end of the car a great big mess.
Problems so far:
-Melted clutch (3-4 times so far!) but fixed it, usually while setting up the brakes.
-exhaust rattled loose and gasket disappeared, meaning oil leaked out all over the place, baking on to the hot exhaust and making a huge mess.
-Broken fuel tank(made one hell of a mess! primer never worked.
So i went to my lhs and bought.
-A brand new fuel tank (primer works!)
-A new exhaust manifold gasket. (Cleaned engine)
-A pit fuel bottle (just a handy thang to have and stops spillage)
-A silicone exhaust deflector (exhaust now goes out over the left rear oil shock (no mess!), looks nice too.
-Fuel filters (a must)
And i stuck on a suckie filter too.
Next is tuned pipe, new tyres and ball bearings if i can find the buggers.

Ive been thinking about it….i have stacks of cox engines at home.
.010, .020, .049, .061. I also have instructions on how to make an .049 engine have reliable throttle control, using a throttled carb and exhaust sleeve. Also have a diesel .049 but its full throttle only.
.049 powered MZ hmmmm.

Dude, this is a city in Australia called “Sydney”….no sheep stations…..disappointed?
Hmmmm i think aaron has a very special relationship with his XR6 Turbo….
I am already having a few problems with nitro cars….NEVER EVER buy a nitro RTR set…….you virtually have to re-assemble it!
Once it is all fixed up it should be fine like the day i got it, goes all day no problems.
For off road I think nitro is better, but on the track I prefer electric.I am already having a few problems with nitro cars….NEVER EVER buy a nitro RTR set…….you virtually have to re-assemble it!

I did that a few too manytimes and stripped the thread, so i drilled a hole on the other side and tapped it….all better now!

Haha what?
This weekend (sunday 1:30) my mini Z will be racing at Glen Dhu primary school.

Top speed is around 45-50km/h i think.
Which is plenty fast enough on the BMX track near my house.
Over the big doubles the thing gets a good 5′ of air, and lands great! Surprised how much grip it has for a 2wd buggy.
I covered the bottom of the alloy chassis with about 3 layers of fibreglass reinforced tape….stops the scratches.
Also roughened up the calipers, now the brakes work great, especially on grass.
5% nitro seems to be fine….might try 10%.
