Bigjimknickers Posted August 3, 2014 Share Posted August 3, 2014 Is there such a thing? I've had a google & it brings up the real one, but I wondered if there was a clone version or similar of a quieter pipe, my KM had a dominator clone & that was LOUD!

Exos Posted August 3, 2014 Share Posted August 3, 2014 (edited) It's just an extension, so realistically you could purchase a dominator clone, then the actual silencer. Why though, is a different question... Edited August 3, 2014 by Exos Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bigjimknickers Posted August 3, 2014 Author Share Posted August 3, 2014 And as for why, just so I can have more options on where to run it without causing a disturbance & getting complaints really. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
(-:AD:-) Posted August 3, 2014 Share Posted August 3, 2014 you can buy silencers seperate. DDM do one... freeprawn/abbots should sell them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oh How Original Posted August 3, 2014 Share Posted August 3, 2014 This; http://www.davesmotors.com/ddm-dominator-pipe-silencer.html Ignore their reference picture, it still fits yours. You just need some silicone hose to go from the end of your pipe to the silencer. To be honest, it dulls down the note, but as far as I've found, they don't really quieten it down. I've actually run one before, and my Mum could still hear me in the quarry from my house, she said it just wasn't as high pitched. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bigjimknickers Posted August 3, 2014 Author Share Posted August 3, 2014 Ok, so the samba is meant to be pretty quiet isn't it? I'll look up clone ones of them too, if not it looks like dominator & external silencer, bracket is Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(-:AD:-) Posted August 3, 2014 Share Posted August 3, 2014 Samba is quiter that a stock can imo Its no louder than one anyway. I liked my v2(still have it) but because the bzm has a bigger exhaust outlet it restricted the engine. 2 or 3 people I run with have a dom with a ddm silencer and they are not mega loud... but the same tone as the samba so not annoying loud.

Bigjimknickers Posted August 3, 2014 Author Share Posted August 3, 2014 Sounds perfect then! Do they actually have anything in the samba to quieten the noise or is it just the design? Just need to find one now! Let's hope km make a version. ;-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
(-:AD:-) Posted August 3, 2014 Share Posted August 3, 2014 (edited) its just the design. Its a good mid-top end pipe. I got it as I was going to go to nene valley track with the baja, so I knew I would not upset anyone/be slow on a stock can. I now have a big engine so I suppose I dont need need it...

Bigjimknickers Posted August 3, 2014 Author Share Posted August 3, 2014 Which one would you say is a samba clone? http://www.rcmodelz.co.uk/exhausts/exhausts.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oh How Original Posted August 3, 2014 Share Posted August 3, 2014 (edited) None, KM don't make a Samba clone. You MIGHT find one on Aliexpress, but unlikely. For the Baja it's not the most popular of exhausts because of the awkward way it mounts. I guess theirs been no call for a clone.

Bigjimknickers Posted August 3, 2014 Author Share Posted August 3, 2014 Nuts, looks like the Thor pipe is a CPI clone? That'll have to do. Looks like I'll need to buy the "C" model. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oh How Original Posted August 3, 2014 Share Posted August 3, 2014 It is, which is meant to be the best rear pipe you can get for performance. Not personally tried one, one of the few pipes I've not had lol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh How Original Posted August 4, 2014 Share Posted August 4, 2014 You not got a Baja at the mo? Not at the moment mate no. No doubt change before too long though. I have a love/hate relationship with 2 strokes, but oh well, it's only my own wallet I hurt, nobody elses lol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
(-:AD:-) Posted August 4, 2014 Share Posted August 4, 2014 (edited) Cpi would be my choice of rear end pipe. Edited August 4, 2014 by (-:AD:-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Same here, had a KM, sold it as I moved & it was in the way, lost money on it, now I can buy again, now it has a nice secure warm shed to live in. I'm warming to 001C at the moment, I had 30cc so not sure of going down to 23cc. Just need to sell a few cars an I'm ready!! Thor pipe ftw!

I've had from 23cc to 30.5cc and to be honest, a 23/26cc suited me best, on an open flat field they rev to the moon and back, I was pulling 21,280rpm with my 23cc stocker. If you want more torque than flat out speed, you want something more 29/30.5cc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bigjimknickers Posted August 4, 2014 Author Share Posted August 4, 2014 So far I have enough for a 001, one more sale & I'll have enough for the 002C & a few extras, like kill switch & ally carrier. Think I'll hold out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oh How Original Posted August 4, 2014 Share Posted August 4, 2014 It's worth waiting to get the little extras that come in handy, don't forget under chassis brace and shock braces from I-RC, which are only about Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RCbutcher Posted August 4, 2014 Share Posted August 4, 2014 Has anyone used dlmdr tuning before? The engine I have has had light port polishing on it its a mix mash of engine tho cy bottom , km fly and ? Top head ill presume km with clone dom pipe its an fg truck tho not baja.
