CPI Pipe Test On HPI Baja 5T

[blackeye09]

How would you compare this pipe to the dom v2 unsilenced?

[palm47]

@blackeye09I have never used a rear DOM pipe, the V1 or V2 so I really can't compare the two pipes.

[blackeye09]

@palm47 ok I see, i actually went with the vrc side mount....

[palm47]

@blackeye09 I just actually picked one on those up as well to go with the Team Chase cage due to the fact the CPI pipe hits the rear of the cage. Let me know what you think of it, I have yet to run mine.

[blackeye09]

@palm47 Well for now all I know is that its sounds freaking bad ass, just like a dirt bike, I couldn't stop grinning LOL!!

I haven't actually driven it yet..... just fired it up to see if everyone is good and what it sound like!!

I wont be driving it for a while honestly because I don't have a chassis for the moment...

so you might be experiencing it before I do LOL

So you let me know what you think of it!!!

[nitrorcfreak100]

sick ass fuck pipe where can I buy one of these please reply asap and thank you very much I liked and I loved all oif your videos so I had to subscribe song????????????????????

[Traxxasman17]

Hey how much did yours cost plus the wheels and what web site did u get it off of? thanks and subed

[SavageRC1]

You beat the living crap out of that 5t! Haha love the video and the pipe seems great too! If you dont mind me asking, how does this pipe compare to the rear dom v2? Is the pipe aiming at increasing the low end or is it an overall pipe?

[palm47]

@SavageRC1 I have never used a rear DOM pipe, the V1 or V2 so I really can't compare the two pipes. I can say I really like the CPI pipe it does a good job and performs very well, I would say it is an overall pipe.

[SavageRC1]

@palm47 Hm looks like a great pipe. Unfortunately i already ordered the dom v2, but when money allows me to im going to try one of these pipes out!

[rccarsman87]

@palm47 hey i have a few questions cause my baja keeps blowing plugs and i thik its running to rich but i have a hgk cmr7h plug in it and i think its running at a 24:1 ratio i am wondering if thats to rich for the baja and the plug when i pull it out is black on the spak part thanks plz reply fast

[palm47]

@rccarsman87 I would run at 25:1, which is 5.12oz of oil to 1 gallon of gas. Running at that ratio shouldn't foul you plugs, it seems like more of a tuning issue. A properly tuned engine running at 25:1 shouldn't foul plugs. I will send you a couple of links.

[rccarsman87]

@palm47 ok thanks but the link isnt working oh and whatratio are you running,one more question what are th stock carb settings for the baja 5t

[palm47]

@rccarsman87 I run 5oz of oil to 1 gallon of gas, roughly 25:1. A good starting point for the carb is 1-1/2 on the H needle and 1-1/4 on the L needle...hope that helps.

[brynisalive]

fuck you flog that thing

[Pedrometa99]

ROFL sweet test dude

[TRXtuner95]

looks really cool.

[rcmaniaccharles]

if anyone wants some hpi baja 5b ss stock parts pm me as i have some including the exhaust as i upgraded and they are brand new

[dwalers]

What happen to your VRC rear pipe.

[palm47]

@dwalers It was too exposed for my driving style and got bent up so I modified it to fit on my Redcat Rampage.

[speedstangsixtyfiv3]

seriously how many parts did u go thru during that bash sesh?

[palm47]

@speedstangsixtyfiv3 2 shock shafts and a spur gear.  Of course the body wasn't quite the same after I finished. : )

[speedstangsixtyfiv3]

@palm47 wow thats not bad i was sure a suspension was gunna break after all that bashing but apparently not. Is the truck worth the price tag because i am considering picking one up and testing out in the badlands behind my place at baja. I would much rather go thru hpi but all these other guys like km and rovan are catching my eye cuz the tamer prices.

[okidontcare26]

hell yea drive that shit like you stole it boy

[steelpanther831]

This guy really likes to fuck shit up!!!!

[Coreyvxl]

sound like a dirt bike awsome

[jaymyrod]

The best engine sound...2 stroke foreverrrrrrrr!!!!!!!!

[ThexBorg]

Love the power of the 26cc, sounds great, shreds the tires, lights the fires!

[KASSIDYPOLLARD]

youve won me over with this one

piss the dom off and im gettin one of these

protected

loud

great power band , love it.

[palm47]

@KASSIDYPOLLARD Thanks, the CPI pipe is definitely a great pipe.

[manurpl]

cuanto puede costar ese coche

[palm47]

@manurpl Nueva que son alrededor de $ 1200.

[empire789]

dont hate cause he has a 5t an you prob have a nito, just curious what tires an wheels are you running? i want some for my 5t.

thanks

[palm47]

@empire789 In this video I was running the stock wheels with Hostile MXT tires on the rear and the stock wheels and tires in the front. The Hostile line of tires are great!!

[kennethstr]

wtf are you stupid its alott of money you are playing with and if you have so mutch money to just throw away ur an idiot

[palm47]

@kennethstr You have to pay to play, don't be a BITCH go hate on someone else who gives a shit what you think.

[XysteRST205]

Is this the big bore CPI pipe? I've heard a mixed bag of responses about the 813 carbs so i'm reluctant to try it. Does the 813 carb make a big difference to low end over the stock carb on the 26? Also can you recal info on the suspension setup, oil, springs etc etc? - it looks like a nicely dialed in setup. Those rear tyres seem to do wonders with that low to mid speed. Nice video too. Shows the real potential of the Baja 5T

[palm47]

@XysteRST205 Thanks. I am using the standard CPI pipe, which is designed for the stock engine. The BB pipe was designed for modified/bigger engines and I think the main differences are the exhaust stingers. I am running the stock shock set up in the front and in the rear I am running 10wt with a 12 hole piston. As for the 813, I have also read the complaints but I have yet to experience them, I think it make a difference I run them on all my cars.

[XysteRST205]

@palm47 Valuable info, thx for that. I'll place an order for the standard CPI pipe mefinks :o)

[rcguy96]

dude some of this footage should have been in the hpi demo! nice baja

[dieselvsgas1]

sounds real nice

[exceedrc926]

u guys really beat the shit out of that

[x9k10]

that his legal exhaust, fit perfectly.

very good

[dkbmx09]

milestone is da best when it aint windy wit R/c and dirtbike

[tvanbale]

How many rpm on the clutch?

The settings of mine are 7200 rpm (1,25 turn)

Your Baja is fast in acceleration.

Can you tell me how many turns (or rpm) you set the clutch?

Thanks!

[palm47]

I think I set it slightly shy of 1.5 turns which should engage around 8000 rpm. I am also using an 813 carb which also helps with low end lag.

[SizeMatterss1]

sick video. is the pipe the only modification?

[palm47]

It has a few mods but as for the drive train it still has the stock engine (26cc), gears and clutch. I believe it had the front and rear TR braces and shock towers in that video.

[sinistertitan]

Now that's how you bash! Man I love your style as it reminds me of mine! Killer vid! My 5t will be arriving tomorrow. I'm saying goodbye to the nitro world. Do you notice any disadvantages as far as weight distribution with this pipe?

[palm47]

Thanks, the 5T is a great basher. Yah, my poor LST2 has been sitting on the shelf for about 2yrs now. As far as a weight disadvantage, not really. But then again I have only run the VRC rear pipe and then this one. I do have to say I dont noise dive that often so that might be do to the weight of the CPI pipe.

[sinistertitan]

Right on. Thanks.  I'll see ya on RCU.

[420witchdoctor]

Good low-end with that pipe, I see.

[420witchdoctor]

Word dude nice truck!

[play2win335]

nice making with pinnacle studio 5*

[palm47]

Thanks, I got a great deal on Studio Movie Box Ultimate when Circuit City was closing. It contained Studio Plus 11.

[rcguy96]

i'm interested in getting a baja. whats better, the 5b 2.0 or the 5t?

[palm47]

Both the 5B and the 5T are basically the same vehicle with different bodies, wheels and other cosmetic features. I personally like the look of the 5T better than the 5B so for me the 5T was the better choice. One advantage the 5T has is the larger tires give it better ground clearance for the rough terrain; the disadvantage is the bodies cost a hell of a lot more than the 5B.

[rcguy96]

yeah the only thing i dont like about the 5t is that the bodys are over 100 dollars 5b only 20 dollars

[TOMREED1]

WTF? Are those bodeseer wheel spikes on the sides of your wheels?!?!?

[palm47]

The spikes are CST Spiked wheel nuts, I got them a DDM. Davesmotors . com.

[edsoncesar1]

hello friend, you are too good to drive the 5t, pilot incredible! I do not know how to drive well, but I'm trained to learn

[kewlkeenan]

hell yah ride it like u stole i like ur style and thats an amazing truck

[cupooterluvr]

Dude, your bash spot kicks MAJOR ass. I seriously envy you.

Also, you kick the crap out of your Baja... lol

[ghostdrive666]

hi,

just wanted to know, i'm running a DDM Dominator V2 pipe, what will give me better performance from my 5T? CPI or DDM?

[palm47]

I really cant answer that question, I have never run the Dominator V2 or V1 on my 5T. The only pipes I have run on the 5T are the VRC rear pipe and the CPI pipe. For my driving style I prefer the CPI over the VRC. The rear DOM, from what I have read and seen, is a great pipe and the only complaint I hear is that it can get damaged from being too exposed.

[scott84318063]

at 4 05 to 4 20 were you trying to jump bad or was it just the lip?

[palm47]

It was definitely the lip, I would never abuse my precious RC like that. lol Lets just say I didnt always take the safest jumps, after all I was testing the durability of the CPI pipe and if it always landed on all four wheels what kind of test would that have been. :)

[7paul7paul7]

id love to get one of these ive never really liked nitro just becasue of the tuning, i hear you dont have to tune these that often is that true

[palm47]

Once you get it tuned you are pretty much set unless you change something on the engine such as a carb or pipe. Also if you travel with it and the altitude is different you will have to re-tune it but overall you should only have to tune it once and you are good to go, unlike nitro as you already know.

[bandito71]

well, no one can accuse you of treating you re T like a shelf queen. excellent vid, my B to T conversion is nearly done cant wait to take it for a bash

[dimag093]

Nice vid

I suppose your nick is : "The punisher"

[coolcool0102]

wow wow wow i love the bashing i love the video but i want to know how you rate the cpi pipe does it truley add horse power next to a stock pipe!!! is it possible you could a side by side test. i dont mean to be that way but i dont want to waste money. not saying i would on your pipe!!!!

[palm47]

I bought the 5T used and it didnt come with a stock exhaust so I wouldnt be able to do a side by side comparison. If I had the stock exhaust I would be more than happy to do it for you. All I can say is I seriously doubt you would be disappointed with this pipe, it is a great pipe.

[5thscaleracingforum]

Another great vid!! Keep them coming!!!

[edsoncesar1]

very good!!! the best video baja 5t!!!

[migurami23]

I only had two 40s this morning and hay (AAA) is for quitters. Why did the shocks break? Its not like you were jumping high or bashing it hard.

[palm47]

I see you are cutting back on your morning meal, I guess the recession is getting to you.

[marinjeam]

Great bashing area, seems a lot of fun :)

[paulhughes63]

Great video and great truck, love the 5t looks really good

[looker2756]

Nice video !!

[migurami23]

Nice video and great place to bash.

The truck is running lean, turn the needle 1/16 clockwise.

[palm47]

What did you drink for breakfast M23? Lean, are you kidding me and if it was to lean shouldnt I turn it counter clockwise?  I thought I told you, lay off the cheap stuff it will give you drainbramage. :)
