I've cooked a few pipes for myself and others and a lot of tuning issues have been cured. You may be surprised how much gunk will come out.

not sure if its even worth it, its one of those things where once it goes bad do i ever want to risk it happening again maybe during a main and not practice.. its just a jp3... LOL.. but yes, ive heard friends do the crock pot thing...

Just checking, I always find that the nipple is plugged or restricted at least. Easy fix if that's all it is. I have started to clean them every couple months just for mtce and to be safe.

I decided to rinse out the pipe and noticed something is rattling around inside so i guess the pipe separated inside somehow... I have never seen that before, I emailed Jammin cust serv the night it happened and never heard back from them.. anyone know anyone there to contact ?

Just picked up a 2 of the A5's with 0801 pipe. I really wanted the 2090 or the 3033 but will have to wait till those get in stock. Looking forward to running them since I saw RCGeezer run one. This little guys run like a :batman: out of hell! Really looking forward to it. And thanks Lance for the crazy fast shipping. :nod:

You wont be disappointed with their performance. Though I think i will prefer the 2090 pipe to smooth out its bottom end. I cant wait to race both of mine this year myself. I have a modded and stock. You may find that the 0801 may need a light trigger finger on bottom end cuz that pipe makes the motor rip.

I am afraid of that. That's why I really wanted the 3033 or the 2090. I have a couple of other pipes running around that may mellow out the bottom. Just wanted to pick what I knew was working. Oh well. I know they will be in stock later. Unless someone has an extra pipe they want to sell. :cry:

Ahhh...did not know that. Maybe the 0801 will be what I need then. Either way...I am glad that I finally made a decision on which motor to run. Looking forward to break them in and get them on the track. :sneaky:

Your welcome :) Thank you,

You will like the engines, if you do want them modded let me know, I can still do it as long as they dont have much fuel run through them.

Lance thanks for the great deal I got from you off ebay. I got to run my d52 today for the first time and man it rips! Is very comparable to my Alpha A852 maybe alittle more controllable on bottom. Thanks man!

Rcrenew 01-22-2012 11:19 PM
