OK to clear the air right off the bat, I know "it's just a shuttle"
But it's my first nitro. I have a t-rex 450 and maybe I'm spoiled but I would like a bit more oomph out of this puppy.
It's a fairly new engine so I'm gonna keep it for now. I've been to the posts about this ship and the .37 engine choice being the most common powerplant for better performance.
With that said, which muffler would you guys suggest to optimize this ship for FFF & basic aerobatics, with the minimal amount of frustration! I'm not to 3d stuff at all! yet.. but I do see the need for bail out power on windy days and sport flying yankin' and bankin'.
Be advised I'm still on 550 woodies and a plastic Rotor Head. Feel free to add Main blade recommendations too if you think it will help. I've been told woodies shouldn't be pushed to hard and the blade grips seem to have issues too according to the post's Iv'e read.
Here's what I have seen for recommendations for exhaust options:
Hatori tuned pipe
Hatori muffler
Muscle Pipe II ( head speed issues here?)
Century Torpedo
Weston ($$$)
