Hi, Mark. Congrats again my friend, this is another one great video. Keep up this amazing job.

[@MarkThomasson76]

Thanks Mate! what car / pipe combo are you running?

[@user-gx6rw1tk5x]

The same as yours. Mecatech FW01 performance model 2019, and Samba 7

[@MarkThomasson76]

Nice, the perfect combo! hopefully we can get back to racing soon - stay safe Mate.

[@user-gx6rw1tk5x]

i hope for this also, you too, stay safe and keep making those great videos

Your calmness makes me calm 🙏🏾🙏🏾

[@ArturinTSVR4]

That’s a nice and low mess job. I used to blowtorch the inside of the exhaust and once it caught fire blow with compressed air so everything burned away.

[@nasimwehbe8410]

Man, I'm learning alot here. Keep up the great work.

[@billvartanian3350]

Great video mark. Thanks for sharing. Going to do all my pipes today

[@adamsrcsandadventure700]

Awesome tips mate 👍👍definitely going to try that one

[@wargor]

Great video as always. I would have never thought about doing that. I wish I would have gotten the MEcatech but I got what was locally available to me. Not racing but I really like the complexity of a 1/5 car. I have the FG EVO. I am more of a plane/helicopter person.

Nice opening shoot

[@MarkThomasson76]

Thanks for the comment Mate!! I really had fun making that!

[@MertNisa3168]

What do you think how often this should be done? I got my VRC BB pipe for a baja but driven it like 4 tanks already. Runs perfect 👌🏻

[@stelioskopanitsanos5391]

Thanks, Mark Great video !!! I have an FG monster truck with a standard Pipe. I bought a tuned one from ebay but the inside had many imperfections from the remaining welding material. Do you think will be any good to deal with it? As you said it should be smooth inside but mine is everything except this. Thank you in advance!!! Keep up the amazing work you are doing!

[@davidsommerville8195]

That’s a great idea using paint stripper will a to give it a try.

[@MarkThomasson76]

Works like a dream, I'm surprised every time! really worthwhile doing after running in an engine too!!

[@rach1974]

@@MarkThomasson76 Hello great video, did you use paint stripper for the inner and for the out of the pipe? Regards from Mexico.

[@rach1974]

I saw, yes is the same paint stripper :)

[@MarkThomasson76]

yes, the same paint stripper! I'm so amazed every time I clean a pipe. let me know how yours goes!

[@clintonchambers1948]

Coming from a nitro Tourer back ground I have used a slow cooker with engine coolant on the alloy tune pipes. I know that you would need a very large slow cooker to fit a samba pipe in but I would be keen to try using your method one the next clean on my pipes

[@MarkThomasson76]

Yeah have heard about the slow cooker trick, never tried it tho! Did it work ok for you? The paint stripper works so well - highly recommend

[@clintonchambers1948]

@@MarkThomasson76 yes it works but takes some time two hour for a samba pipe sounds like a 10-20 mintues for a 1/10 pipe and you can get into the pipe with a bottle brush to really clean the insides out.

[@hariyanto-wp5nq]

hi mark i like waching your video . mark make video split the pipe see what inside look like

[@kimifan06]

i have an ada pipe i run on a goped, i really need to try this! just don't know where to dump the stuff...

[@AndrewClarkePhotography]

Would be interesting to know if you could use this process to clean a motorcycle exhaust.

[@davidbriggs3811]

How much run time did this pipe have on it?? Wonderful video's 👍👌

[@JothaGp]

Cleaning product please?? Thanks!

[@reitprecht]

Hi Mark, thx for the great viddeo. Do you know, will Paint Stripper work with FG Aluminium Pipe as well, or does Paint Stripper destroy Aluminium?

[@MarkThomasson76]

Hey Mate! the paint stripper works fine with Aluminium, I used to clean the Nitro pipes all the time - It may tarnish a polished surface tho (so be careful if she's a polished pipe!!)

[@davidspano1]

@@MarkThomasson76 Nice Video Mate, How about Titanium? paint stripper ok to use on Ti? Ive got a Rcmax pipe thats well due for a clean out.

[@ridwanhusainishraq]

Where are mecatech rc cars made? Do you have the website

[@Ludo9393.]

[@frennaantonino7292]

[@hariyanto-wp5nq]

HI ERYMARK WHAY DONT YOU MAKE VIDEO ABOUT SAMBA PIPE AND BLADE IT WHAT ITS LOOK LIKE INSIDE, IT WOULD BE GREAT TO YOUR CHANNEL, YOUR SUBSCRIBER WOULD BE HAPPY MARK
