A ''type-R'' sticker will get you an additional 20% more power out of your RC, trust me!
you also need it bright yellow cause yellow = instant speed
Its been proven look at all the toyotas/hondas that are bright yellow/have yellow stripes combined with type R stickers and their folgers coffee can welded onto the exaust pipes tip.

Don't forget lights on the bottom of the car. It helps with the electronics in the ECU and gives an additional 5%.

Yeah superchargers work if you want to spend the $150 from technology that was made 5 years ago and then have to replace your engine. If superchargers were so great, the pros would use them to race and there would be a demand for them. See these videos of one in action on a motor with and without and watch what happens. Pure GARBAGE!

People people people, what is drag racing, NOISE AND BLING AND SPEED, get a big block then, and super charge it.

There is no debate.THEY WORK.Absolute fact. Not by compressing the cylinders air, as mostpeople missunderstand, but by scavenging, superior !

It will absolutely make any engine go faster, and stronger. Around 10% usually.`You can get gains of 30% with the right induction fan replacement and tuned exhaust .

Anyways its a blingy thing, for those who love the noise, little extra power, but they are dear, never said they were not.

Every nitro driver that ever saw mine, turned there head, EVERY one of em.
The little Inferno was a rocket !
Mine was on a 4.6cc engine.
Mine got destroyed in a roll over crash, another bad point about em.
But l cannot say it sucked, it rocked.

lm now looking at the induction units that bolt onto the HPI baja , with the CY 26cc engine.
Should be interesting, from what l read they work well too.

All the nitro turbo engines l ever used, seemed to be crap.The turbo doesnt actually work.And how can it !
The superchargers however, are just a blower fan, it cannot, not work ! hahaha

PS. forgot, you all should hear a supercharger on a nitro, at TOPrev screaming past, all you nitro drivers that always argue, love the smell and sound, just dont know what your missing !
Beware , conrods in danger if you put one on a TRX 3.3 !

Real world experience.
They have been dyno'ed and yes they can pull up to 30% with the right fan, standard its 10% ,do your own research, there a few years old, l aint spending 7 hours finding old posts for the details, just buy one. They work.
Have you actually seen any real proof of ANY nitro engines ? Is that common ? NO.
Traxxas claim over 1 HP from the TRX, like to see you proove that, ppfftt.....Cen recon they get 4HP out of one of there engines...bs.......PROOF and claims are different l agree, but dun get niggly with me over superchargers, had this debate a few yaers ago, is why l bought one, after arguing they cannot work, i was forced to EATMYOWNWORDS.
So go eat yours.
Or buy one and we will debate it if yours doesnt work , ok ?
Before that, you have no argument saying, what you did.
But by all means look into them, there not worth the power per buck, but they are bling noise and look the part.
The numbers were originally posted on there sight. RB.
Independant testers gained far more with exhaust modifications and induction fan changes.
If you understand how a nitro engine works, it becomes common sence that they do actually work.
The debate is how much boost they can give.
At 10% on a nitro engine that revs to 30 or 40 thousand RPM, if you cant figure that the scavenging is going to increase air flow, and lubrication, your missing a few l recon.

They can be fiddly at first to tune.
Eat my words? What words? I was simply showing some interest and asked you a question. You're the one making claims and not backing them up with proof because it will apparently take "7 hours finding old posts for details".
Buy one and see for myself? If something appears to be a dog turd, I'm not going to buy it to prove to myself that it stinks.
Missing a few? You really don't like being questioned, do you?
Piddle? Isn't that a slang term for when a dog takes a leak?

Your abrasive response speaks volumes on your knowledge of this subject, andI'm not impressed. Based on what I've seen, only fools would buy one of these things. I bet you think the best cold air intake is a KN filter sitting over a hotexhaust manifold.

THANK YOU! I was just about to post and say that anyone with common sence, and knows about engines KNOWS that a supercharger does NOT work on a 2-stroke motor...

glad that vid was posted always though that you could get the same exact results just running the thing insanely lean.


BTW like some others have posted the best way to get more speed is to try and fit a big block in it. I've seen people on the forums who put K5.9s in their MT2's and those things at half throttle would literally go flying off the ground.

Sheesh was it about raw speed ? no never.....

Its Drag racing, its noise, bling and the sight of such a thing, and they do work by scavenging, all you people who have never owned one who claim they dont work are full of ****.

This guy wants to grag race, well they DO use them, so it was a suggestion, the fact all you goons that have never tried one, stuck your 5 cents of armchair bull**** in is a joke....so go buy one you loosers then comment, and if you cant get yours to work at all, l will help you tune it ! Clowns.

It was a suggestion because he wants to drag race, nothing more, it was never a claim to be the best power per buck upgrade, ffs read t properly. woke up cranky. Some of you need your heads shoved up your ...for not trying one first......


Seriously if you just want raw horse power, GET LIPO. period.stuff crappy nitro that is as slow as a wet week.........a lipo will eat it.

Just a footnote on the video, ''why superchargers dont work.'' Honestly this clown tried to use it with the same exhausts, *** ? He didnt do what lve done and buy several exhausts, hes a bit of a clown, lm a mechanuic [diesel ] by trade, whats he ?
He doesnt go into an explanation of scavenging, ask ANYdiesel mechanic what scavenging is .........

The reason most racer dont use them is cause there nor worth the power per buck upgrade and there hardtyo keep tuned, but they do work. Try one.

If i see some proof that they work like they are meant to... ill take back my statement... until then... I'm sticking to what ive read and seen, and why in the HELL would i spend 150 bucks on something to try it to KNOW its not gonna work...

First off, you act like a child when proven wrong. That's pretty sad. Second, your spelling is absolutely atrocious. Third, the "clown" that is doing the tests has thousands of videos on Youtube as part of the RC Community and is well known. You don't have a fraction of the videos or experience that "Squirrel" has so calling him a clown just shows your ignorance. Lastly, we're all losers (not loosers) for not trying one ourselves? Wow!

Show me your proof that you have/had one and show me where it didn't burn up your engine and I'll also retract my statements. It's put up or shut up.

Every thread you chime in on, you always have to get defensive and resort to name calling. Grow up and stop being an Internet Keyboard Jockey. No one cares how tough you think you are on the Internet. This is a HOBBYFORUM where people come for help, advice and to have fun and communicate like adults. See where I'm going with that?

Thats enough guys with the bickering, This thread isn't about superchargers and weather they work or not. If you want to talk about that please take it to a different thread. This one is about installing a new engine in a vintage Traxxas car.

I'd try it. Post a pic when it's done.[8D]

Are you going to extend the chassis? Keep the suspension? I would think you would eliminate the rear suspension, or crank it down for launching. I've only seen a hand full of videos of rc drag cars, not my thing sorry, but could be interesting.

ohh yea I know i said slap a big block in it but I just was thinking not sure what kind of gears it has but a big block could destroy the diff. I've read about ppl who slapped big blocks in older trucks(HPI MT1) and the diffs went out really fast seeing they were never designed to take the added power. So you might want to take that into consideration about any engine you put in it.

And actually I think the bickering stayed pretty civil today it usually results in thread being locked cause it gets so out of hand.
