Installation in Losi/Baja Hybrid
The DIABLO is at perfect home in a Hybrid build. That’s really what we made the engine for to be honest!
A Yamadude linkage is required for proper throttle and brake control with this engine
The DIABLO exhaust mounts to the engine with a Flanged Ma Gasket. Then the pipe mounts via o-ring
sealed Socket joint plus mounting springs to hold it tight.
The exhaust then mounts onto the Throttle servo relocation plate as with most other big bore pipes. Just
drill a hole and fit the supplied rubber mount into the plate where it lines up on exhaust.
Of course you will have to cut the Losi/30N etc Roll cage as with most Big bore hybrid builds. The top rear
section of the cage needs to be mostly cut away and then reinforced with an SRC Hybrid Basher bar or
another brand that will fit this monster pipe. Then you will also need to cut a hole on the inside of the front
wheel well for the stinger to poke through forwards.
OUTLAW HYBRID BUILDS
The DIABLO was designed and tested all around the Outlaw platform seeing as it’s the pinnacle of Hybrids
within 5th scale RC. Therefore fitment very easy and just like any other smaller engine (zen or Taylor)
The engine is secured via the same 3 holes underneath, the rear LH bracket and the RH Clutch side brace.
The only area that requires a change or mod is the Rear shock tower. We have an off the shelf custom
made Diablo fitment Outlaw Rear Shock Tower. Or you can simply remove the top bar of the tower and a
little material at the bottom of the V shape of the tower to give exhaust clearance. See photo below of where
the pipe sits.
DIY HYBRID BUILDS
Any DIY Hybrids that are therefore using a Complete Baja rear end and baja shock tower, need to use the
custom Diablo Baja Rear shock tower that we have created for pipe clearnace. Please tell us you have a DIY
when ordering your engine so we send the correct exhaust.
OCBAJA and Other Brand BUILDS
Any other brands of Hybrid kit may use a mixture Baja or Losi style rear shock towers for their design. Just
note that you will need to modify the Rear shock tower to allow room for the Huge Diablo exhaust to have
clearance incl ex springs.
