Thunderwolf Posted February 13, 2014 Share Posted February 13, 2014 a new t1000 starts at around Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Evil_Sheep Posted February 13, 2014 Share Posted February 13, 2014 Seems alright to me, although that air filter has to go. Stock is much better.. Seller seems to be honest about certain things... so maybe theres no lies? Definitely go and have a look if your close and get him to start it up. I wonder why the gaskets have been changed.. he say's tuned but does he mean ported? I'd also take that transmitter hes got if you don't have one, they're a decent cheap 2.4ghz system.

nigel63 Posted February 13, 2014 Author Share Posted February 13, 2014 I read the ad and it sounds pretty straight,its too far to go view it unfortunately but cant make up my mind wether to take a chance on it,just cant make my mind up, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mini-z-awd Posted February 13, 2014 Share Posted February 13, 2014 . I wonder why the gaskets have been changed.. he say's tuned but does he mean ported? the exhaust has been changed so a new gasket is needed everytime you do that sort of thing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh How Original Posted February 13, 2014 Share Posted February 13, 2014 I'm unsure what he means by "upgraded to a tuned exhaust"... The clone Dom that comes with KM Bajas is a lot better than the SS pipe that's on it now. That bit confused me when I saw the ad last night, couple that with the crap air filter and split tyre, I'd say avoid personally, obviously someone who isn't particularly clued up on large scale RCs or 2 strokes. If you can't get for it to see it running etc... I personally wouldn't buy it. Which is saying something considering the previous garbage I've been lumbered with! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DARSKi-RC Posted February 13, 2014 Share Posted February 13, 2014 Agreed^ you could buy new for a small amount more and not worry "as much" about instant part failure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nigel63 Posted February 13, 2014 Author Share Posted February 13, 2014 thanks chaps for your replies,i ve decided to take your advise and not bother with it,i just fancied one to sit alongside my ss,thinking bout it a new one would be a better purchase for not a lot more. thanks again Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

T1000 doesn't ship with a clone dom, a mate bought one about a month ago from rcmodelz and it came with a Ghost pipe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Same difference, both are still miles ahead of the SS pipe. Ghost is simply a clone of the Uber Predator. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh How Original Posted February 14, 2014 Share Posted February 14, 2014 I knew I'd got that arse about face, I was thinking of the Dragon That makes even less sense then why he would change the SS pipe for an SS pipe ! Definitely one to avoid if it was my money like. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh How Original Posted February 14, 2014 Share Posted February 14, 2014 Still a decent pipe either way!! Not really... Compare it to the Dom clone and you can clearly see quite a difference. It also sounds absolutely horrid (IMO) i've been looking at the clone stuff recently, only reason i knew it. You still considering the side pipe?

Thunderwolf Posted February 14, 2014 Share Posted February 14, 2014 You still considering the side pipe? yea, like i said i'm thinking about buying one for fitting when/if i ever feel like it. also considering getting a whole km baja 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim-Bob Posted February 14, 2014 Share Posted February 14, 2014 Has anyone tried the Uber Predator or KM Dragon pipes? Just wondering how they perform and sound? (Sorry for the hijack OP) James Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trip... Posted February 14, 2014 Share Posted February 14, 2014 Here are some pipes... And this is where I got my VRC clone. A careful eye will notice it's no longer there... I called my supplier and he told me the VRC clone has been discontinued!!! Buy it while you still can! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oh How Original Posted February 14, 2014 Share Posted February 14, 2014 (edited) Has anyone tried the Uber Predator or KM Dragon pipes? Just wondering how they perform and sound? (Sorry for the hijack OP) James I've used the Uber... Overall I'd say not as powerful as Dominator, definitely not as powerful as the Dominator clone. Not used the Predator clone I'm afraid, as the Predator was never a particularly popular pipe it seems. Oh and as for sound, I really liked the Predator, unlike the Dominator/clone, I think it sounds like a proper tuned pipe. Yet seems on the face of it to put out less power. Personally I couldn't go back to a rear pipe now... Not now I know how much top end a side pipe really adds... I know I changed my gearing too, but just the noise of the thing has got me hooked.

The V2 Predator graph shows it's asking a lot more power than the V1 and Dominator? Not sure a side pipe will work for me tbh as most of my running will be in woods/abandoned 1/1 off road course that will need lots of short snappy blasts of power and a shed load of torque! Do like the new genuine Uber looks lovely! James Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
