As far as the motor is concerned you will need a side exhaust in the .12-.18 range. If you want OS the OS 18CV-R with a 11G slide carb would be a good way to go. The full TGR kit (44030) originally came with the FS-15RB (Tamiya 41046). You can still pick one up thru E-Tamiya at


As far as the exhasut goes I am sure you can find a matching one for the 18CV-R on the OS web site along with a manifold. If you are going with the FS-15RB it sounds like you already have the manifold BUT the original TGR black exhaust that came with the full kit is much harder to find (Tamiya 9334055).

By the way is the manifold you have the silver one or the black one?

Let me know how you make out.
