Which as of late, has nothing at all to do with Rody or Technopower. :D

If anyone needs some of the H6 or H7 plugs let me know, I've been sitting on a ton of them for a long time and would like to move them. PM for details

There's quite a few .23s out there, I personally havent ran one. No truggy in the arsenal currently. Maybe some of those guys will chime in

the .23 is perfect for a truggy.. bottom end of the c-6 ( but has more ) and the rpm's of any .21.... best of both worlds.. ran a 6.5 restrictor last weekend.. could have gone to a 6mm with out loosing power.. the .23 has plenty to spare.. smooth but yet strong power band.. think of it as a modded c-6 with extra power to spare... very very nice motor.. jeremy

Thanks on the pipes info, what difference does it make with the different headers? I bought a new engine with pipe included, new, from one of the guys that had posted n this thread, the pipe is the 2069 with the 192 header, how does that work with this engine? The 2034 looks like a 2053 pipe.

aznitronut 01-27-2011 07:22 PM

Has anyone tried using the 198 header with these pipes?

The 2069 "Strada" pipe shown at A Main displays an on-road manifold. :weird:
http://www.amainhobbies.com/advanced...hipex&x=7&y=14

The 2069 and 2034 available to me from Racer Dist. both come with the 192 off-road manifold.

I would speculate that the "Strada" would be used with the R-01 Rally Engine in 1/8 on-road applications.

2034 off-road (mid-range)

This is from a FAQ at the TecnoPower website:

"TECNOPWER is suggesting to use the HIPEX pipes and manifolds which we supply with our engines, the following pipes we have available are:

* EFRA 2069 This pipe we have found very smooth with a good bottom-end power, this in combination with the HIPEX speed manifold you obtain very good results with our engine.

* EFRA 2034 This pipe we have found very smooth with a good mid-range power, this in combination with the HIPEX speed manifold you obtain very good results with our engine.


Other pipes which are working well on our TECNOPOWER engines are:

* FEMCA 0801 According our distributor RC PRO in Australia this pipe also seems to work quite well with our engines."




I hope you find this helpful.

Thanks, the strada pipe does look to be an on-road pipe, still curious of how 198 header would perform compared to the 192 header. I know the longer the header, the more bottom end.

Tony Newland 01-28-2011 07:04 PM

It is an onroad header.. but thats all thats out there. You might check with Ascendancy they are the newest re-bag of the stock engine and might be bringing in the pipes

yes more bottom end.. i use the 198 when there is alot of jumps just off corners.. you loose a tick of top end but if you dont have a 150 ft straightaway or more you will be good to go
