Default RC Nitrous injection!!!

Hello fellow RC'ers,

Since spring of 2002 myself and my father have formed a company known as JAG RC, we have been very low key and kind of hush hush until now... We have developed a fully functioning nitrous oxide kit!!! We have gone through hours and hours and hours of testing, research, and development. We currently are in our final phase, we are waiting for our patent applications to come back. Unfortunately I cannot give post pictures of our injection unit at this point, however I can tell you we are planning on releasing prototypes within the next few weeks. I will be shooting video tomorrow of the kit in action, video will be available in our home page. I am very excited about releasing this product, and we will be able to show pictures of the product very soon. If you would have any questions please feel free to contact me at [email protected] I may not be able to answer all your questions, but I will do the best I can.

Hey everybody we got the video up, you cannot see a whole lot, but you can hear it. Shortly after each shot I crashed due to my tires being on backwards (ooops) But it'll give you an idea. I will have better video soon anyway here it is. Nitrous video

Looks pretty cool! Ive never crashed because my tires were on backwards, but either way the video was great.

How long does the engine live up to that? Plugs?

So there is no doubt some amount of wear is cause by the use of nitrous, but running this kit on my M16 for about 4 months, we have not seen any wear outside normal wear and tear. As far as glow plugs, it really does not affect their life.

Cool, Im still trying to figure out how your keeping it from making a very lean condition and blowing it. BUT, if your 4mo into it, its working pretty good.

Funny you should mention an RS4, that is going to be one of our test vehicles. We have been running into problems with the maxx (Non nitrous related) so videos have been slow going.
