It will be good to hear which you prefer.
What's the difference between med and long header?

are you talking about the compact v2 version?

I will try both of them I think

Coming from e-buggy (racing for 4 years now) I was surprised to achieve the best laptimes with the most powerful engines in nitro.. It's weird for me considering iI always looked for very gentle motor response in electric. Maybe the progressivity of the clutch is part of the explanation.. and the MP9 too, which is very easy to drive even with a strong engine (I used to drive more nervous cars before)

Is there any difference in performance between an used and new pipe? And is there actually a way to clean a pipe?

Noob questions I know but I just began nitro a few months ago.

edit: a french RB driver is suggesting the 198P manifold with the 2097 pipe (SLS Di5 engine), did anyone here try it?

standard:



198P
