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

OK, before we get this back on topic, I'll just clarify this. Oxygen itself is not flammable, but it does accelerate combustion. Check it out. http://www.angelo.edu/faculty/kboudrea/demos/burning_iron/burning_iron.htm

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

this oxygen thing just got me thinking, if we could use pure oxygen in our cars we'd get between 4 and 5 times more power for the same size.. i smell and experiment with my old TRX 3.3...

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.

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
