I just built one from scratch with a cox T.D. RC carb last month. I could put up photo's but I don't want to hijack the thread? take a look at my avatar.

That muffler looks awesome! Have you made it from scratch or modified another brand?

Mark,

You bumped this thread back from the dead, were you wanting info? Or did you just want to talk about Tarno carbs?

Hi Basswood,

If willing post a few pics of that muffler assembly. Small Cox Logo

Here ya go. its a combination of Cox 074 exhaust manifold, I like the extra space around the cylinder and Paasche Airbrush Moisture Trap for the muffler. I like re-purposing parts. saves a lot of fabrication. and the color almost matches too. Smile

I don't have any photos as I was assembling that one but if you look at this photo you can see another on the left that's going into the next engine. no anodizing on it. and also how the engine went together. home made Tarno style engine mount.

Interesting approach well done, you should start a thread and run up the engine.
Post a vid on youtube for folks to enjoy the sound and sites!

Thanks 1/2 A Nut, I appreciate your opinion. but next I think I need to upgrade my digital camera first. as you can see by the photo's. it has a sweet spot but sometimes it's hard to find. since I retired I just got back into the loop again from the seventies but I'm having a blast building these engines again. cant wait to fire it up. move some shims and head gaskets around, find the sweet spot in the engine.
