Muffler coming off.

[legbah]

I am still new to this and my history is in Honda ATVs and trucks so I wanted to ask, What makes a muffler just come off?  I did wreck the thing right before this, but nothing was really hurt, I did have to reattach some axles and I need a C clip but nothing was really hurt.  The rubber sleeve/boot that connects the header to the muffler keeps comming off the muffler. I tightened the pull tie, but it still came off.  Do I have a blockage in the muffler tip? Could that do that? on a four stroke it could but I don't have any experience in nitro engines.

if your referring to the 1/10s i had thes ame issue what works is to take the tube off the muffler and scratch it a bit / the muffler then reattach the rubber seal and tighten it up it should help hold it on also if you have the stock plastic pipe i would say to pick up the aluminum one  its tight and tougher  plus it increases torque a bit :Dalso.. the exhauts hanger can be bent backward tworard the engine a bit and help hold it on

i was having the same problem as well bending the rod back seems to have done it for me. hope that helps.

take the rubber sleeve off and use a pocket knife or something to cut a little ridge into it and tht should do the trick cause it did 4 me. good luck and happy rcing!
