Bigjimknickers Posted February 14, 2015 Share Posted February 14, 2015 (edited) What's the FIDracing stuff like AJ? They do a nice looking pipe, not sure of its performance, it's probably what We will go for if we get a dbxl.

Rover Man Posted February 14, 2015 Share Posted February 14, 2015 Your there now, just the pipe ( Samba in my opinion) and get it running to see how it holds up. The ones racing at Essex seemed to go round well enough Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They do a nice looking pipe, not sure of its performance, it's probably what We will go for if we get a dbxl. I've heard mix things about them, I only bought the horns because they are the only people who do horns to fit the stock servos, they are 18t instead of the standard 15t like every other 1/5 servo I would spend a bit more and get a Samba, everyone I've spoken too (including RM) recommends it The ones racing at Essex seemed to go round well enough Terry said the same, so they can't be all bad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RJJ Posted February 15, 2015 Share Posted February 15, 2015 Welcome to the darkside about time you had a 5th scale to enjoy. Nice mods so far, definitely run it 1st with the mods you have chosen and then you can tinker with it some more and raid your wallet Tried a samba pipe originally and they are very good, but I have moved onto Bartolone which I find better but noiser. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
.AJ. Posted February 15, 2015 Author Share Posted February 15, 2015 That's the plan, just need the pipe, air filter, outerwears and lipo and then she's good to go Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Duo Posted February 15, 2015 Share Posted February 15, 2015 Nice losi check out hemmistorm upgrade videos on YouTube he is a bit over harsh on the dbxl but he knows his stuff on 1/5 petrol cars. Seen it bashing about at gravel pit and it looks the part still prefer it to the 5ive even if it is not a "proper" losi according to mr storm Enjoy you lucky $***#%%# lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Duo Posted February 15, 2015 Share Posted February 15, 2015 Where did you order it from as you seem to know where to get a good deal. Ms has it cheap for the uk compared to wheelspin or did you venture over to a German website and say good moaning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
