I always tune the engine about 240F.
My two tracks are little with much slow corners.
And the pipes that I have are: dynamite 053, 086 and OS TS2060.what do you recomend me of this three pipes?( thinking in my slow tracks..)

Thank you very much.


ops ops...another little question.... this engine what glow plug use?
Can I use, o'donell , racers edge glow plugs?? I am tired to buy the expensive OS P3 P4 for my problematic Vspec.

Thanks friend!!

Of the 3 pipes you have the first version extech made the most power on the 086 of any pipe tested, Never tried the 053. But i can say that I never lacked for low end grunt on the 086.

haveing run the 053 and the 086, it seems that the engine was missing something! and about 2 weeks ago i found out what it was missing. it was missing the big boy pipe.the big boy just seems to add more to the engine all the way around, but keeps everything smoother than the other pipes

You do not want to run these engines at 240 they run in the range of 180-215 with plenty of power you need to tune it to run wright and then use the temp to keep track of it but we have not ever had to run them any over 200 and had more power then needed;) Now those temps i gave you are with the Extech head on it if you change it witch i do not recmond at all it will have to run hoter to get the same power.

For plugs we have come to like the os p4 and when i got cold we tryed the p3 to see what it would do and there was no need we just stick with the p4.

So, I just ran about 1/2 tank through the "Bat" pipe. I am running it on a Jammin JPX .21, which is the mill I will have for Truggy @ MotoRama (will be running ET's in my buggy for the summer :D) Anyway, all I can say is...WOW! Now, granted, I havn't had it on a track yet, so I can't say right now what it will be like in racing form...but just beating around in my back yard, there's a huge difference compared to the JP3 I had on it. Nice low burbling idle, bottom is solid, SICK mid range to top. All in all, I think Im gonna really like this exhaust and can not wait 'til Friday to practice on track! :sneaky:

Enjoy it when you get it, I just broke in another the other day and I really am impressed by the quality and performance of these motors.

sounds good. not sure whether to get the modded(not that i need the extra) or just stay non mod. I have some nice mills sitting around but i need 1 more thats fresh&reliable. il be running either jp or dyn pipe(no fat boy, i have too many pipes already) and just want the extech to be universal for truggy or bug. thx for input, just waiting for refund to purchase

I see the big boys a 2056 so il run an 053...

IMHO, if you're going to be running on tracks with long straights, try the FM. If you're on smaller tracks or tracks with lots of short run ups to jumps, stick with the Pre. If you're still undecided, consider your trigger traits. By that I mean, do you have a light or heavy finger? If you have a heavy finger, it might be worth while to try the FM as it has a more smooth pull. If you have a more ( don't shoot me for this choice of words, please :P ) delicate finger more of a finesse it around the track, you would probably be fine with the Pre. :)

I am running the Ex-tech full mod motor in my Xray 808, I only just got the car from a mate, it runs for about 7 mins, I have just ordered a big boy pipe, how much more run time does the big boy pipe give you.

If I ever descided to switch mills, it would be a Extech. Chad really helped my buddy out a PNB with a new piston and sleeve. His motor went on day one. Chad hooked him up, we broke it in on the bench, and it ran like a scalded dog the rest of the weekend. No money, no questions, no B.S. just here are the parts and good luck racing. You just can't beat the Service Chad is giving. I ran one of the Old EB Extechs:o:o and thats why I switched to RB. I will look at the Extechs again since Chad has taken over.

all makes sense to me. im learning so light throttles me. usually by the time my main rolls around im moderate to heavy throttle. figure the pre is right...thx

Raced my full mod .21 yesterday & am very impressed. Still tuned a little rich as i tune for longevity more than absolute top speed. Had a rough day so had to go to 10 min. b main & what a hackfest. Was running second on first lap landed a double into a turn & the guy behind me just plowed me & turned me around then the next 3 or 4 guys turned me over & piled on top & stalled the engine. My pit guy restarted engine i went into panic mode & ran truggy pretty hard & still didn't pit the whole 10 mins. I was the only one that didn't pit. Still had just a splash of fuel left. Very impressed w/ this engine. Will buy .24 for my cen matrix tr as it is a little heavy. Thanks Chad & trinity for a good product.

Were the guy at Motorama running them in trucks? :tire:


This engine seems to have plenty of poop and a broad powerband. I wouldn't fret about running it in a propperly geared, realatively lightweight modern truggy like your 8T 2.0. It ain't a Hellfire or an LST....

pballer2777 02-23-2009 10:06 AM

all the engines i saw were in buggies. i didn't notice any in truggies. i was lookin cuz i would have ask them what they thought of the engine.
