any chance i can put a .21 into a Ntc3?

[marcoze]

Any chance?

I figure some more Torque ;-)

anyone sell a conversion kit?

Any Tuturials online anywhere?

 

[kwong2001]

Dunno if the shaft is the same size as .12 but if you take some OFNA motor mounts you can mount it at least

Okay damnit...i'm gonna do a conversion...

 

[marcoze]

Damn straight Kwong...



GET CRACKIN!!!!!!!!


can i get a link to them mounts?

 

[SilentHunterKellen]

I think a .21 would be to much power for a NTC3 dont ya think? Umm, fishtales, burnouts, giant flips, can you say overpowered? But hey, if ya do get it to work, send some pics. Good luck!

I'd have to do some research on it...I could probably do it...is the shaft on a .21 the same as a .12? How swappable are team associated parts? Mainly the clutchbell and clutch nut

oh, you'd have to order the mounts through OFNA...I doubt you could find some pics on it...

hmmm...this weekend i'm gonna goto the hobby shop and look at some engines

Oh, i'd sure like to see someone flip and on-road...you'd probably just to massive burnouts and fishtails...blow a few spur gears too

 

[marcoze]

well, belive it or not, Fishails and burnouts are more towards My style of driving.


it would be nice to race at half throttle.

and i bet if i gear it REALLY high, i wont need a 2 speed

and yes, i do race with that style of driving.


i think I'm gonna pull the motor out of my GS storm tomorrow, and see what can be done.

MWAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!

MWUAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

it is alright to flip a carb around right?

so the linkage is on the correct side?

 

[kwong2001]

I did that with my o.s....when you take apart the engine, check the dimensions of the shaft

you know, I got to thinking, if you could find a .21 car with a clutchbell of the same dimensions and threadsize of the ntc3, then you could swap the whole thing directly into the car...just a thought

 

[marcoze]

hmmmmmm.............

Maybe the new Schumacher cars have the same size Clutchbell.

One Question.............Why can't i just use the clutchbell from the .21 if i can find one that the teeth mesh good with the spur?

and if it is the same shaft size, does that mean that i have to put the Flywheel/clutch/clutchbell onto the .21?

well, tonight i am going to my LHS to race, i think ill check out the schumacher cars and see what kind of setup they have.


(Schumacher = 1/10 scale .21)

 

[Nitroaddict]

yes - it is okay to flip a carb - no harm done. I wouldnt really recommend the engine swap. What would u accomplish? A stock, or resonably priced .21 would carry a worse power to weight ratio than a top of the line .12 or .15 race engine. Along with that, most good .12's already produce too much torque and cause massive wheel spin if you have the clutch set at too high an RPM. I would imagine that the vehicle would become almost uncontrollable. I have drivin a schumacher 1/10 scale that my LHS has, it comes standard with a very weak .21 and super high gearing, and it was still no fun to drive, due to the terrible handling the extra weight of the .21 caused. Anyway - that is my .02

 

[marcoze]

well, Luckily, There was someone at the race tonight (i placed 2nd of 7 cars) with a Ntc3 with a .21.

He SPANKED, i mean SSSPPPPAAANNNNKKKKEEEDDD the rest of the Nitro touring class. He had about 9 laps on 2nd place.

I'm not going to do it though. I think i may end up going all electric.

 

[SilentHunterKellen]

Electric? Are you sure?

[kwong2001]

You shoulda asked him what he used to get the .21 in the car...

DON'T GO TO THE DARK SIDE!!!

 

[SilentHunterKellen]

:stupid:
Electric=Gay
Nitro=Not Gay
I have no idea what i just said.:write:

There is nothing wrong with electric. Us TC nitro drivers need something to do during the winter months. I was in micro winter league this last winter and had a blast. Luckly a friend had an extra car that I could race. But I might consider getting my own for next winter.

 

[Nitroaddict]

man all i hear about is the winter months. must suck to live in the cold! i agree though, i am thinking of an electric that i can run when i dont feel like getting all dirty.

 

[mcvickj]

Heck. Come on up and visit some of us Michigan folks. We will give you a winter to remember. You haven't lived until you are flying in a open field on a snowmobile.

 

[Nitroaddict]

HA! I'll go see snow when water freezes at 70degrees. 2cold4me!

 

[marcoze]

yes, i am sure about electric.

I will probobaly keep my Ntc3 to run once in a while, but on dont see that becoming my main Concern any time soon.

BTW, i sold my 2.5 Maxx, and my Ruslter last night :-D
