dldj-Its really easy to spend $2k on a RC car, race or bash, or show.

2916jr-Isn't 100% oxygen EXTREMELY flammable?
any by oxygen I mean the mixture of oxygen and nitrogen that we breathe. The atmosphere that Earth has.

I am saying you cant take straight oxygen from a oxygen tank and take a lighter up to it it wont light it will need a catalyst to start the fire, but no 100% oxygen will light

Tie a block of C4 to it and then jump it in the air after a WOT run and detonate it.

Status: offline 		well it's not like i'v never seen something explode before, and not exactly all of them were caused by people other then myself, working with oxy/acetylene sets is alright when you get bored, it's an idea anyway, although it's sounding less and less wise every time i think about it, maybe a lawn mower engine would be more suitable.

Status: offline 		Well I spent my 2000+ on a jet. A JHI A-7 Corsair II. Then I matched the 2000 and bought all the elect's. Now for the hours upon hours of putting it all together. I also did a biggie at once like that on my FG MB....somewhere around 3500.00 and this thing was worth every penny. Hell they all are worth every cent. I will not start adding just yet though. Still building new stuff
