Ah come on share share with sugar bear.

Rear Doms on 5b's are awesome. V2 silenced has always been my favorite 5b pipe and I have owned lots. I have a CPI on my xb and I like it. But I still run Doms on my 5b's. I just installed a Dom on my FG Baja yesterday and WOW it is loud.

I agree, Dom are GREAT! all around pipes. A good balance from low end Tq to Hi Rev top end. The CPI maybe good for the 26cc, but I will definitely be looking for the BEST all around performing pipe for the 5T once I strap the 1/2 tank break in "Used" and still requires some break in...7.5hp Full Mod Zenoah 30.5cc 4 Bolt Billet Case ~ Comes with TR billet clutch case / HD tranny plate / Gear plate / enclosed clutch carrier / Modified RC rear modified chassis skid plate and MORE!

It happens like that. I went from a stock 23cc with a SS pipe to a 30.5 with a Dom in less than a month.

Maybe, gearing... But the most important and BIGGEST difference between the 2 or all 3 is not so much seen easy by eye. The SC has metal diff gears and massive fat dog bones. This is probably the best improvement HPI has done, just wonder why it took em so dam long. YEARS!!! later, different trims, SS, Kit, RTR models made through the years and they FINALLY Bullet Proof the rear diffs (with the exception of the diff case) with all metal and big dog bones with the SC and Baja Flux 5B...That is about it. I personally DO NOT like the SC. I have always LOVED th T and of course 2nd the B. My previous Baja was a B, and now is a T...Go figure, I am ass backwards

Idk I like the sc and the B. I don't like the body on the T. Either way I'd rather have a losi over all 3.

IDK My friend and I were talking about that earlier...IMO, I much rather have the rooster tail fish tale total chaos out of control 2wd. If I wanted total control, grip and agility...I better be racing on a track. Not bashing. That is just me Also, the T has to be one of the realistic body designs of all or most 5th scale. Just like a BAJA 1000 desert race truck I personally am getting a WOODSTER with my T, which is a more subtle design mix between a Iron Man Baja 1000 and a SC.
