Title: Squashed exhaust tip... why???
Post by: Tommo32 on May 30, 2007, 11:30:29 PM

The squashed exhaust tip really bugs me, does anyone know why it is like this?

I think im gonna cut it off. anyone else done the same? It will increase the power to weight ratio if nothing else!!!!

Just a guess it could be a venturi? which increases velocity of the exhaust gases. and may even improve the performance?

the bigger hole is to let all that steam out  :lol: if it were a smaller hole you might get some forward motion though with steam power :lol:
