Top performance from your 2 stroke

I think that the best way to haul some butt with my truck is to swap in a 4 stroke. I saw (on maxxtraxx.com) a Traxxas t-maxx with an os 4-stroke in it. I was thinking about putting a four stroke in...

Dyno

I would also like to construct a dyno for my truck. I think it could run off of the back tires and possibly the flywheel. Just like a real car, (flywheel hp and "at the wheels") But yeah if anyone...

water cooled radiator

Good Idea FlatFour, I currently have a pc cooling FAN on my truck, but not working at peak voltage (12 Vdc), it doesn't make an extremely noticeable difference. A water cooled fan would work too, but...

engines

I am all for the exotic engines, ('Rossi, etc.) but if you want major bang for your buck, buy a trx pro .15 and modify it. I know you are thinking "traxxas, no way those are cheap" but if you have a...

Radiator

Hey,
I was thinking about putting a supercharger/scavenge system on my r/c truck, and possibly an intercooler or radiator as well. I have no idea about the radiator as I haven't put much thought...

Top performance from your 2 stroke

Yeah,
Just for the record I am talking about a truck in general here. Any tips are wanted though. I have a ringed racing pipe and a bigger carb as well as a better cooling head. My second engine...

Thanks ...

Does longer stroke mean more low end torque...saito 100 compared to ys 91 fz

I actually came up with the idea and you are right it would really not "supercharge" the engine, It would just provide cool air. I was wondering if the engine would run properly at high rpm. I think...

Re: Re: can773

Yeah that is definitely true, but do you agree about the charger helping the engine breathe? I think that the intake on the charger would draw cool air into the engine which is more dense which means...

can773

Hey,
I never knew that about being able to change the nitro percentage. Would I have to adjust the carb or anything. I don't think so. Oh I know that the charger would not give me that much gain,...

What one?!

BLINKBOY--> If you do go traxxas, I would buy a nitro sport and upgrade the engine. I don't like the bellcrank steering on the nitro rustler and the bellcranks seem to break easily when you hit big...

It all depends on how much you are willing to spend. It also has a lot to do with how much skill you have with engines as well as offroad vehicles in general. LAst christmas I got a traxxas nitro...

What kind of engine dose a rc car take

A r/c car will only accept a specific r/c engine. You have to go to a hobby shop in order to purchase one. If you are just getting into it, you could buy an entry level .12 engine for around 60 or 70...

Does longer stroke mean more low end torque...saito 100 compared to ys 91 fz

Does anyone here know if a .20 or .15 r/c engine could drive a turbine? In the car I could run it off of the flywheel and in the plane (which may be getting a 4 stroke soon :D ), I could put a single...

can 773-->Yes you have a valid point about using a higher nitro percentage, but on a two stroke you are not supposed to vary the percentages of nitromethane in the fuel. I broke it in with 20% and if...
