you should see what my new 2096 i got from you a few months ago looks like. Got hit hard enough that the pipe came out of the pipe hanger, stretched the pipe/manifold springs, tore the gasket, and put a dent/slash large enough that I had to freeze/melt it about 6 times. I actully stopped freezing it because the finish around the dent was starting to change.

How is the 2032 pipe on the plus 4 do? is it the same 2032 that edit sells?

They were made SS from Crono. Search alot last night but can`t find them anywere.... I have two SS pipes that are used. Never ever ever ever, going to part with thoose... LOL

The edit pipes are old soft ones. They dent very very easy.. On a side note, it might be just a feeling, but i think the soft ones runs better.

Hey Monty, I pulled my Orion engine apart (clutch) and I noticed the clutch shoes were brown on my Buku. I used the new clutch bell and cleaned it as you said before I used it. Is this something to worry about? I remember someone saying to lightly sand the shoes and I shouldn't have any problems. Also I am running the Losi clutch bell and I think I might have like 20 minutes if that on my Orion, I just ended up running my Werks b2 instead of the new Orion, but the next two races are on bigger tracks so I figured I would get out the Orion this weekend and make sure I have the clutch adjusted correctly. Right now it is still at the settings that came with it. I also have some JQ bells but they don't grab too well with the Losi, I kinda like a bit more than 1/2 of the center diff gear being used if ya know what I mean. What about the Koyosho bell how well will they work on the Losi? I think I can get one ordered if they are better, I know the Mugen seemed better than the JQ but even it wasn't to my liking, but in a pinch maybe

They do run better, Just like the Ofna 086 VS the Nova 9886. The Ofna with its thinner walls and minutely different baffle design definitely has a MUCH bigger BARK and a little more Grunt than the Nova pipe does.
