Nice pipes Gamma and great info. I also have a little bit of a tuned pipe fetish but don’t have or see many if any of the O’Donell stuff. I have a couple Duratrax pipes but more of the common ones.

Haaa yeah!! Tuned pipe fascination aka fetish
It’s funny, -only the vintage tuned pipes interested me when I was into R/C in the mid 90’s. Still love R/C today, but more building shelf queens & restoring cars.

Here’s an O’Donnell Fat Pipe I had years ago.
That's a sweet looking O'Donnell pipe. I love the polish aspect. Its similar looking to the one i have but mine starts to taper at the weld.

Duratrax sold a pipe in the early 90’s called a
“.10-.12 Hi Performance Tuned Pipe” that was actually made for Duratrax by O’Donnell. By far my favorite 1/10 vintage pipe for high-end. Absolute screamer.
See how the top pipe in the pic has that same billet wire hanger mount as your pipe?
In the 90’s, most of the Duratrax nitro parts were actually made in the USA, by smaller machine shops.
I see the billet wire hanger...its exactly the same.
I have a 1/10 scale pipe by associated that is a high-end pipe..i have it attached to a traxxas pro .15 (on my pink cuda DS) but have yet to hear it scream.
the rest of my associated pipes are the torque pipes
