George, right after I posted I thought about the pipe change aspect, and you're correct. If there's data on mods to stock engines, that's good data. Data on 100% factory stock configurations can be found anywhere, so those I would not find useful. Maybe someone considering a new stock vehicle purchase would benefit from the reviews.
So here they go....
Revo, stock 100% except 3232 Traxxas plug.
Never timed it but runs maybe 10 minutes on stock tank.
Stock pipe, extended the stinger with tubing past rear body/bumper. Made it louder, but no diff on performance.
My engine tunes easily but tends to be hot head! Smokes and makes power but stilltemps out at 290-300 after a serious run. Have read elesewhere that this isn't uncommon. Using OD's 20%. We have 2.0 gallons runtime with no problems so far.
