RE: 1/8 buggy on FAI fuel (0% nitro)

Hey.

It should take some more RPM if the engine was modified in the head, just like Downunder has done with his sons engine.
The engine sounds a lot healthier with the 4-stroke plug - and 16 % oil. In the video I used 12% oil, but that is not enoughdueto the low fuel flow (ones again Downunder’s knowledge).
The load on the conrod is a little higher now, onits way up, but that is not even close to the load, when the conrod is being pressed down by the explosion (with or without high compression ratio).

Thanks Champ

I drove the car with the original well used tyres from 2004. It should be able to go faster in the corners with some new ones.

Hey. I don't use temp guns etc. If you like, I can make a measurement at the race

Cheers
