Well I know about this truck now!!!

Well who would have known that a pipe would have made THAT much difference. For the guys that had read some of my other threads I was having allot of problems getting this truck to run and when it did run it was just unbelievably slow. I couldn't believe that a company would release a truck that had such poor performance.... HOWEVER, At my whits end I finally decided that I would change the pipe just to give it all the help I possibly could, and WOW!!!! What a wake up. I picked up one of the redcat scratch and dent pipes when I got the truck just because I new it would be better then the stock muffler and I got it for really cheap. About a 1/3 of the price of a DDM. It became a new truck instantly.


Now if your wondering why I didn't put it on in the first place well that's because I wanted to run it around my house and street getting it tuned and once it was running good I would swap off the muffler and put the pipe on, give it that last tune and be good to go. When I built my SS I had just put the SS pipe on right away so I never new how horrible that muffler could be. When I installed the Rear Dom on the SS it was an improvement but not night and day.


So as I write this I am feeling pretty good about this truck. I had it last night for a run with no issues at all. I also have to say its kewl driving a 1/5er that gets traction as well.

Good to hear dude! A tuned pipe makes a huge diff on these things.

Steve it blew my mind.


Like i said in the other post I never had the stock muffler on the baja so I have always know it to perform. I really don't even know why they even put that thing on. Yes I know its quieter but come on!!!!! Its crap.

It is hard to describe what a pipe does to a 2 stroke, but it turns it into a totally different animal. I want a pipe for my Bajer. The FG can I modded just doesn't cut it. lol I am happy it is working out for you.

Hmmm... Now you got me wanting to pull out the ol redcat pipe, used it one time and tossed it to the side.

i was getting worried about you for a minute. i guess thats the pice we pay since these are one of the least expensive rigs with the best turn out. i was disopointed with its speed as well and was bored pretty quick. im glad you put that pipe on. i saw it sitting in one of your pics-of-parts. and if you think that pipe is a big change, just think of what a side dom would do. my stock tt couldnt fight its way out of a wet paper bag, but after installing the side dom i held my head high and proud.. just a word of coution.. take it easy on those redcat pipes. they tend to crack at the header.. rock on and glad you got it sorted out

Installing a 6500-8000 rpm clutch spring also makes a noticeable difference down low.

Hey man,


Yea its just eh redcat one. I got it when I ordered the truck. It was part of the scratch and dent sale so I got it for less then a 1/3 of a ddm. I will be picking up a quility pipe soon but for now this pipe is working great.
