I've got at least one I'd like you to clean up. However, it's got a few dents, so I need to pull those out first.

what method do you use to "pull out" dents?? Ive heard of guys filling pipe with water, putting in freezer to pop dents out, but I also heard of guys splittling a pipe in this way. Just curious what you do. I never worry about dents. Most are so small, I dont think it affects perormance..

the guys the split pipes probably completely block the ends with solid material and filled the pipes all the way... i fill the pipes all the way and use some sort of seal that stretches...

works great... some dents you may have to do that process a few times

fill it with water.. and cover the ends.. i use a piece of latex glove.. if its thin i just double up and hold in place with zip ties.. on the nipple i use the normal stuff that comes on the carbs... let it freeze.. shoudln't be more than an hour.. before you can check it...

The water method. I don't let it sit for hours upon hours without checking. I set a timer for an hour, then check it. Then check on it every 30-minutes after that. Usually takes 2-4 hours.

Thanks Houston....

This thing went really good for a few months last year.. but Im not sure what happened, RC Tech changed some guidelines and took down my post or moved it, I cant remember. Something about couldn't advertise a business in the engine section... I don't exactly remember. When they did that, business died instantly because no one was searching for it. Anyway... someone emailed me a few days ago asking if I still offered this and had a boatload of pipes he needed done. Thought Id give this post a quick bump and see how it goes.

THANKS bud
