I don't think there is enough room. the header will hit the rear shock tower. I think Vantage makes a header that will work for ya.

I believe the header will miss the Shock tower but will hit the front rear shock. If you purchase the Big Bore shock or similar and go to a single shock on each corner the header will fit.

You can get many different headers from there http://www.vantageracing.com/site/v2-products.html#hoffr that may fit if you get one that looks similar to the stock shape.

at the moment not goin to change the shocks. can i use the stock header to fit the picco .28 mil n the dynamite 086 pipe?
thx Larsenracing.

i think u can use the stock header and 086 pipe but u just have to use a silicone exhaust coupler. it will rob u of some power but will solve your problem for the time being.

The vantage header will solve your problems on the short chassis. I run one with my JP3 pipe. They are well built.

I have the buku pipe and use the factory pipe coupler like larsen said, seems to work fine.

 

[Zach_406]

I mean baddasz savage, sorry.

i wil try n use the stock header wit the 086 pipe. i hope the mount on the stock header fit the Picco .28 mil. does the stock header mount fit any .28 mil?

thx guys

 

[Zach_406]

it will work. I am using the factory header with the factory silicone coupler and a buku pipe on my Picco .28.

thx Zach_406
by the way nice savage u hav ther.
wat shocks r u using on ur savage x?

 

[Zach_406]

They are lst2 shocks. you also need the lst shock conversion from innovative rc.

Is Vantage the only option? I read on few other posts that RD Logic, Ofna, etc also make headers...but I can't seem to actually FIND one on any of their websites.

For example, RD has 8 pages of headers...how do I know which'll fit the X? None of them show pictures of the headers themselves.

Just bought an LRP 28 and was going to use my HPI polished pipe for now (since I *JUST* picked it up to replace my POS plastic one). Wanna do research in a good head/pipe combo.

I have it narrowed down to an Ofna/Dynamite 053 (over the 086 or any of the Jammin pipes) or just drop the coin on the Buku since I know i'll never need to buy another pipe again regardless of how many motors I go through.

I have a Losi HT pipe that I could steal from my dad...still need a one-piece style header though. I have a feeling that'll work better than the HPI Polished pipe...

Cheaper is better...any help would be greatly appreciated!
