thankyou for looking

Hi, No, that won't work you have a rectangular exhaust port, you would have to find an old vintage exhaust manifold, but then again I have never seen a tuned pipe for that side exhaust.

I found an HPI tuned pipe that might work you would have to invert it and cut the pipe where it bends at the end.

thanks usa typical my first foray into nitro and i buy an antique maybe i should walk before i run and just use the car and them start with the hop ups

Thanks

Good thing you didn't listen to me I don't think it would have worked. I ending up making the mininum bid $1.99, well it's on my Nitrohawk now.

Kyosho did a tuned pipe hop up designed for the Alpha, they are common over here, as they did the car as a parts magazine, and the tuned pipe left to the hop up end issues, I sold one to Aus a month ago unfortunately, plenty more about here, should be one over there somewhere.
