RE: 1/4 scale long travel off road car
THE MOTOR I AM USING ON THE PROTOTYPE IS A 2.0 CUBE MAC. IT IS PORTED AND POLISHED
WITH THE JUG CUT(TO BOOST COMPRESSION) IT RUNS REAL WELL. I HAVE A TUNED PIPE
ABOUT HALF DONE. IT HAS ENOUGH TORQUE TO BREAK THE TIRES LOOSE ON COMMAND
AND STILL RUN AT AN ESTIMATED 40+ MPH. I AM GOING TO SET THE CAR UP WITH STREET
TIRES AND GEAR IT UP JUST TO SEE HOW FAST I CAN MAKE GO......

RE: 1/4 scale long travel off road car
Talk about raining on someones parade...LOL!!
How about a can of mountain dew next to that puppy so we can get a scale comparison?
Wow thats nice! I found that 2 strokers (gas) generally lack torque.. seriously! Till they reach about 1/4 throttle, you can almost hold down the output shaft (after clutch).
Wouldnt it be cool if we could have a single unit Hybrid system! We'd have the immense torque of an electric at 0 RPM and the combined power of both at high speeds! (who said anything about weight! Jump? HA!!)
Whats the J piston your talking about? I can imagine something of a flattened sideward S shape but how do you get a J??
I'll do some research but it'd be cool if you could post a link about the engine since its not widely available!

I AM AS WE SPEAK PUTTING THE FINISHING TOUCHES ON A MOLD FOR A TROPHY TRUCK BODY. WITH ONLY MINOR CHANGES TO THE TOP CAGE THIS CAR CAN BE MADE INTO A TRUCK
CHASSIS. I HAD THIS IN MIND WHEN I DESIGNED THE CHASSIS....
