ORIGINAL: crazysavage

Any fast .28 would give you loads of fun. Ofna has several two speeds but you have to move the fuel tank up to clear the double gear clutch bell. I ran a two speed hyper seven with a novarosi hotmod 528. I could only run it in a straight line on pavement and when it shifted into second gear at about twenty feet out, the tires would balloon to about 8 inches in diameter and then blow off the rims. I had to run foam 8th scale on road tires and then it wheely into oblivian. I had to put in a top of the line throttle servo to get enough power to stop the thing and then my brakes would catch on fire if I made two fast runs too close together. I never got it raydarred but we timed it and did the math at 59mph. I could have messed with the gearing and git going faster but then you may as well get an 8th scale on road car that is designed to go that fast from the get go. I dont think you would have enough room to rig up a reversing trans unless you used one from the Ofna One7 on road car. I think I will just get the Ona DM1 and see if I can get some race buddies into street racing.
OOOOh wow. All that sounds like a LOT of fun. I especially like the 8inch tire balloonin .
I guess 1 speed is sufficient for now. Ill try out 2 speed eventually. If the fuel tank is the only thing that will have to be moved than thats not so much a problem.




I said what I said because I have done my HW on engines, and know that there is no way that engine will reach either the RPM claim, or HP claim.
I tend to trust people too much [&o]
