You'll have to post some video or is this going to be a shelf queen? Nice looking truck!

That is a silencer. It helps lower the noise a bit. Also routing the exhaust and the fuel tank vent all the way to the back keeps the inside of the truck much cleaner.What is that second exhust thing mounted in the back of the truck...the thing with the tube going to it from the pipe?
when i said loud i ment, silly loud. i dunno how to explain without being evil.RCDAD said:I works great. I notice no loss in performance with the silencer. The jet pro is awesome and is one of those really loud tuned pipes you mention. If you read all the coments, it is one of the loudest. Running the silencer makes it sound like the stock muffler. I personally love the sound of the Jetpro unsilensed but sometimes ya got others to worry about. Just adding a piece of silicon tube and aiming it at the ground will also quiet things down. I decided to try it because I like the bigger bodies. The soot and oil from the exaust was getting trapped under the body, making more mess for me to clean up. I needed a way to route the exhaust out.
That would cause a loss in performance. All tuned pipe designers have one purpose to make as much power as possible. The performance comes from the design of that expansion chamber. Punching it full of holes is crazy.but it seemed to me a few of the people preffered noise to performance and had holes drilled in the expantion chamber, and made the exit pipe alot bigger or even just removed it.
haha i know but you try tell them that, when ever that circle of rc'ers comes down it makes me cringeRCDAD said:That would cause a loss in performance.

Thanks,I just started on my new cage , been working like a madman and started mocking it up last night.RCDAD said:FAT49FI,Thanks man. It was your truck with that awesome cage that inspired me to build a custom MT.
That would be great, there is a void when it comes to after market bodies for the Redcat line. I would make evey thing if possible. The desert rat trucks are very popular. Scale bodies are great to, like Bugs, Jeeps, muscle cars, classic pickup, classic panel trucks and some cool buggy bodies as well. I'm sure this hard to do since the molds must be time consuming to design. I guess if it were easy every one would do it. Good luck!!!That is some good work you are doing, the truck is awesome. I see you are looking for different bodies to put on the ramp. Its just thought right now but if time would permit me I plan on build a contraption to make bodies for the ramp and for different scales and makes. I may have to create my own molds but if you have some more ideals for bodies let me know.
