Default RE: Beginner's questions

Q40 was designed to get people back into racing who were burned out with the complexity and expense of FORMULA 1. The rule makers did a pretty good job of making Q40 the event it is today, the lap times are plenty fast and the racing is close. I'm sure there are some speed freaks who are looking into using car engines. The question you gotta ask is ,"how much prop can this .21 handle and still be happy"? I don't know what the .21 weighs, but the car engines I have looked at were pretty beefy. Too bad there isn't more info coming in from guys who have tried it already. Imagine a 6.5"-6 prop hitting 44,000, comes out to 250 mph.
