Nice idea taking that T-Maxx Header and putting astinger pipe on the end.Have you tried running it yet?

**bbfao** · 06-08-2003 09:05 PM

runs wicked, close to 64mph with the gears, 23t cb and 66t spur! and will still ride the wheelies! i love this truck

**nitrobasher** · 06-08-2003 09:07 PM

AWSOME!!!What type of tires are they?

**Ezags1** · 06-08-2003 09:23 PM

looks good. i think the tires are dirt works.

**exNewguy123** · 06-08-2003 09:35 PM

nice
Drew

**bbfao** · 06-08-2003 10:08 PM

hey ezags1, your right, they are dirt works, and for the spur gear i have a 23t cb to make it fit, top end is unreal!

**bbfao** · 06-08-2003 10:21 PM

here is just a peak at the topside of the rustys front end!

**jonny101abc** · 06-09-2003 03:58 PM

did you have to cut the maxx header to get it go fit. can you buy that pipe by its self or does it come in a kit

**Flash-R.C** · 06-09-2003 04:04 PM

Thats awesome.

Steve

**bbfao** · 06-09-2003 07:29 PM

hey johnny101abc, yes i cut the tmaxx header to make it work, and i dont know if you can buy the stinger w/o the kit, i had it for my pro 15 mip stinger kit! now i will have a stinger on both! and thanks flash! i think so to!

**BPM2007** · 06-10-2003 07:42 AM

**BPM2007** · 06-10-2003 09:20 AM

hey bpm2007, if you dont have a rear exhaust shock tower here is the one i sugest http://www.rdracingproducts.com/view...r&color=Blue#, that should be all you need!

**bbfao** · 06-10-2003 04:13 PM

for anyone who doesnt have the header for a tmaxx here it is!http://www2.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin...?&I=LXDDT8&P=7

**bbfao** · 06-10-2003 04:15 PM

hey bpm2007, where in ohio are you?

**lilmaxx_kid01** · 06-10-2003 04:22 PM

i doubt the truck goes 64! THAT IS PRETTY FAST. the 4 tech goes 60 i dont think changing the gears to 23 t cb and 66t spur will make it go 15 mph faster!

**bbfao** · 06-10-2003 04:26 PM

think all you want and that was your problem! it would be like going from a 3.73 gear in a real car to a 2.73, to give you an idea (just an example on the gear, i am not sure what the final is)

**lilmaxx_kid01** · 06-10-2003 04:35 PM

that is fast and the rustler wont go that fast no matter what gears you put in!

**nitrocarmsn** · 06-10-2003 04:54 PM

take that back! rage aganst the rc10 got his rustler up to like 71! it is possible just try.

guess i am not the only one aver 60 mph! lol

**nrustlerman231** · 06-10-2003 06:03 PM

How do you know that you are reaching these speeds? Are you taking a guess, or do you have a radar gun? Just wondering, thanks.

**Flash-R.C** · 06-10-2003 06:17 PM

He might be doing the other test. You take the number of seconds it takes to run in a certain amount of feet and multiple / divide that number to give you a close calcualation on speed. I did this (forget the formula) and did it 10 times and averaged it out to get a number.

my cousin is a deputy sheriff, access to a radar gun is easy!

FWIW I've made the speed trap test a little simpler. You can use the formula or the online calculator. Both can be found here.

i did it it runs so sweet i ahev alot more traction off road but what i did different was take my stock header and flipped it around so it was pointing backwards then i took the stock pipe off and took my friend stinger pipe for his t-maxx and stuck it on the header and put the stock stock t-maxx coupler from the very first version and stuckc it inbetween the pipe and header and it works its a lot louder but sounds cooler and the only problem i had was that my coupler ripped because it was so old and crusty well sryi dont have pics my dad is getting a digital camera soon

**bbfao** · 06-11-2003 08:44 PM

hey bpm2007, i did it like that originally, and yes it did work, but i had the shock tower so i made the shock tower work!

**BPM2007** · 06-11-2003 09:15 PM

yeah i didn thave to the shock tower so i winged it its really nice and loud i liek it a lot
