for the GRP tuned pipe and was told the 053 Ofna/Dynamite pipe will work.
Any truth to this? I'll be running this engine on Nitrotane and would like to
get the rest of the summer out of it, at least, so hopefully it is good for 2-3
gallons or so.
the grp pipe will produce the most run time period ..if your not worried about run time use the 053 it is the exact same shape and make up baring r&d on the inside and its also a 2 chamber pipe so you will get more power ...i have a nontuned that i am breaking in this week and i have the 053 straped to it

+1 replace the bearings at the 1 gallon mark you will not be dissapointed if you dont your bearings will develop a scrtching sound that will get worse until they let go then you are out a motor ...get tko's and let it rip
