How to Fit a Magic Bullet Exhaust Into My RC Car

One of the greatest aspects of hobby-grade radio controlled cars is that they are fully customizable. A nitro engine is the beating heart of the vehicle, and upgrading the stock exhaust to the magic exhaust can enhance your vehicle's agility and top speed. Learning how to upgrade and modifying your vehicle's exhaust system isn't just an exceptional method of improving your vehicle's functionality, but it will also help you understand how it works.

Things You'll Need

Flathead screwdriver
Magic Bullet exhaust

Instructions

- 1
  Loosen the two bolts that secure the stock exhaust to the engine. Pull the exhaust pipe off the engine, and disconnect it from the mounting hangar. Leave the mounting hangar connected to the vehicle's chassis.
- 2
  Slide the Magic Bullet exhaust pipe into the engine and tighten the two mounting bolts. Position the pipe onto the mounting hangar by inserting the brace into the pipe.

  Put fuel in the tank, then close the high-speed needle (a cylindrical shape located on the left side of the engine), the low-speed needle (a dial located on the front of the engine), and the idle adjuster (a lever on the right side of the engine) by turning them all counter-clockwise as far as possible. Then, turn the needles to match the factory settings mentioned in your vehicle's instruction manual -- the figure will be in terms of turns. For example, the TRX 3.3 engine's factory settings requirement for the high-speed needle is four turns from closed, the low-speed needle is 1.75 turns from closed, and the idle should be turned counter-clockwise.

  Start your engine and drive the vehicle around with the new Magic Bullet exhaust system.
