The 086 will make it milder on acceleration right? There are only a couple speed areas on my track. Its mostly tight with several small jumps. I will try both dynamite pipes. Dumb question, will a pipe change affect the tune?

between the 086 and the 053 you tune wont change, if you go from a 053/086 to a jp pipe it will change alittle.

jeauxker, what plugs are you using?
motors only eat plug if somethings wrong inside,your using wrong plug for the motor, or your way too lean.

on the flaming 1/2 tank, its mostly caused by having your tank screwed down too tight on the rubber gromets...it needs to be a bit loose so your fuel doesn't bubble up from the vibration through the chassis... and it also can make your tune lean with air bubbles at 1/2 tank

It looks like it is fairly loose on top in places. On the Ascendancy I would try 2 x carbon with .9 springs and 2 x alloy with 1.0 springs, so whatever that would equate to in Losi spring colours.

+1 on that young fella. His buggy looked pretty dialled as far as clutch and gearing for the jumps and plenty of pick up and top end down the back straight.

hi grizz, he's using a GO GX7 series... :)

Is 2072 an OS pipe?

Nope - the EFRA 2072 is a GO pipe. It is the pipe designed for, and recommended for use with, the GX Series and GXII-5RHO motors, but also works a treat on a lot of other motors.

Thank you.

that is a bit of good information. my losi buggy does this from haveing the tank to tight, does'nt effect anything, but i can see where it might cause problems, makes it look like you have a air leak when you really dont.....good tip!!!

FYI I ran GXII in my truggy this past weekend. Finished 7th in expert truggy w/ a destroyed rear diff at the end of the 30 min main. Truggy finally died with 30 sec left on the clock. I was one of the only guys consistently clearing the front triple. Insane amount of power... I was also pitting at 9 mins with plenty of cushion.

thanks trey!...i just got back from Laughlin and Lake Havisu, so i havent had any time to get any more tanks through my HO yet...i got 12 tanks on her and want to get another 12(hopefully:sweat:) before nats next week:nod:...see you guys soon!
