2.5R Traxxas Revo upgrade

[chrome]

Well I have decided to upgrade my old Revo 2.5, so today I bought a brand new Dynamite Mach 26 and the Revo big block conversion. Now I need some input on what would be a decent pipe to run on this set up? I am not racing it, just a basher. I am assuming the stock revo pipe will not work. Also I have a new tranny, RRP with hardened steel gears coming, is there anything else you guys see that I might be over looking?

ERCM pipes are probably the best pipes on the market.

Yeah I heard those are really good pipes, I checked in to them before and am not looking to spend $120-$130 for a pipe that I have to wait a month or more to get. Would rather stick with a factory made pipe, I don't race so I don't need the extra edge, just good usable power at a reasonable cost that I can order and get within a week or so, not months. Any other suggestions, how about the RE11or RE10?

THS Racing has some nice pipes. I've ran them in the past and have been happy with them.

Well I got the Mach 26 in my Revo last night, still waiting on my exhaust pipe though. It was more work than I expected, the big block conversion kit had all the required parts and everything went together good but my motor is a pull start motor, so I had to take the crankshaft and back plate off of a old Losi 454 truggy motor I had lieing around and put it in the Dynamite motor in order to make it fit. The Revo 2.5r chassis was to short to use the pull start, but I overcame the problem with the parts I already had. Now I have another issue, I have to have a bump start box in order to start my truck now, who makes a decent, reasonably priced starter box that works with a Revo?

I bought a ballistic batteries starter box several years ago for mine it has been a great box not sure if you can still get one.

Well here is my Revo with the Mach 427, now I just need a starter box So I can run it. I will have to check out the ballistic batteries starter box.

Post a video when you get that thing running.

Just ordered a starter box, should be here by next week. I cant wait to get this thing going, I will get a video. This motor should show me the weak points in my set up, probably be upgrading a lot more stuff before its over but I will run it till it breaks before replacing parts. I am thinking probably drive shafts and tranny parts.

I got my Starter box Saturday. Truck fired right up and have ran 6 tanks thru it so far. Hope to get some time to start tuning it in this weekend. It runs great and seems like its going to be a animal. I will get some videos of it up soon. I started leaning it out a little on the 6th tank and it was pulling wheelies.
