It's going to be at least another three weeks before JAGRC has another batch of Nitrous bottles in hand, but when they do, I'm getting one of their JAGGAS RC Nitrous kits.

I don't think I'd normally pay $110 for something that is so new and unproven, but this kit is free. I redid their website in exchange for a free kit. I think I might have let them off cheap, but I really wanted a free kit.

I'm hontesly a little worried that the Nitrous might kill my engine so I'm going to mess around with it on my old Hyper 8-Port Race. Nitrous isn't something you'd race with of course and it even violates your AMA membership (shh don't tell em please). It is, however, cool.

I don't think it will be on one of my buggies though. For fun, I've been building this "sort-of-scratch-built" RC from spare parts and an aluminum plate for a chassis. The idea behind the project is speed. Super-light, super-powerful and geared to go at least 60 MPH are my goals. The Nitrous fits that theme perfectly. No, the Hyper 8-port Race isn't a screamer like the Sirios or the C5, but with some quality porting from a friend and this Nitrous kit I should be able to push this monster RC to it's limits. I fully expect that something is going to break before it hits 60 MPH. No big loss though cause it's all spare parts I had accept the $13 123mm dog bones. It's all just for fun -- a winter project.

Anyway, I though I'd share that I'm going to have a chance to put the RC Nitrous kit through it's paces. It's a controversial topic and spending your hard-earned money on something like this without hearing some feedback is scary, so I'll be the guinea pig. I'm going to set up a "speed trap" so I should be able to report with and without Nitrous top speeds. I also plan on posting some videos.

P.S. The weather around here has to warm up to at least 50 degrees first and I'm also not done with my project yet (close though). Just don't get your knickers in a knot and ask me a week from now why I haven't tested it already.
