i love my jato. i have in the past maybe 7 months ago beat a 4 tec several times. but now with my new upgrades the super charger and the combination of the pipe it will even harder for the 4 tec to take me. i'm dying to get a race. i'm going back home to new orleans for mardi gras and thats where i had all my wins in drag including the 4 tec. so i can't wait to try it out on them.
I wouldnt go to insane about the Super Chargers, they simply dont work. There have been so many threads about this, especially in the rc engine forum where there's a 3 or 4 page debate about S C and if they even will work on 2 strokes. For one thing the Rb SC is not really a SC it's more like a little fan connected to a rubber bad, and that little fan does not creat a whole lot of actualy boost. And all the boost that it does create simply goes in the intake and out the exhaust.
Now your saying well it does make a lot of boost Ok lets say it does. The pressure inside of the cylinder when the piston moves down creates a low pressure system in the exhaust. Where there's low pressure, the higher pressure will try and go. The fuel/air mixture then rushes into the cylinder causing a high air pressure system. That means the charge will again just simple go out the exhaust because the high air pressure systems tryies to escape to the low pressure system.
Now your saying that you have a tuned pipe, well if the SC makes any kind or real charge the returning preesure wave will be nothing for the chrage that is escaping out the exhaust. So what happens, is the returning pressure waves will slow down the charge that is escaping from the cylinder. So in a sence yes it does provide a little more power, but the higher Center of Gravity and the extra weight of the SC itself, along with the power that is needed to power the SC takes away any and all power gains and makes the truck slower then when you didnt have it on. Plus they waste so much gas it's not funny as the fuel/air mixture just escapes making less run times for you on the tank of fuel.
So in the end there worth nothing more then having it on a shelf queen to make it look a little better. As for traxxasrules thats fine thats your opinion, but you dont need to put it in big red letters. Thats a bit obnxious, I except that fact that, thats your opinion but again you can use regular text and dont use all caps.
