Orcan Exhaust mount spring

German brand Orcan have released these handy and useful exhaust mounting springs. Sold with tubing and collar, they allow you to mount your exhaust floating, thus reducing damaging vibrations and preventing resonance at high rpm. With other exhaust pipe mounts you would tighten the pipe to the wire with a grub screw, while with this system the pipe is sitting freely between 2 pieces of fuel tubing, while a collar mounted to the end of the spring prevents the exhaust coming off.

Charge RC off road pipe set

Japanese firm Charge RC have introduced this new off road pipe set for use with 3,5cc buggy motors. The pipe itself has been extensively tested in both off road and on road conditions with the best results coming when off road where the pipe gives plenty of bottom end to middle range torque, especially when combined with the manifold that comes supplied with the pipe set. The pipe and manifold have been polished for better gas flow, while for the stinger of the pipe has been reinforced with a rib to prevent it bending in the event of a hard impact.
