Nitrous Oxide T-Maxx.

[flandersander]

I hate to say it guys bit I'm bringing it back. What would happen if you put some super thin motor oil into the line. The nitrous would push it into the engine and would then fallow. extra lubrication and still the nitrous.Think it would work in a short burst?

 

[Captain Chaos]

There was a kit installed by a magazine and tested a few months ago.I forget what one.I wondered about the lean mixture to but the article claimed the short burst of NOS was OK and effective.

 

[flandersander]

yeah i'm still not going to try it.

 

[flandersander]

Well i would try it if I was 100% sure it wouldn't wreck my engine. I mean the company says THEIR product works but I haven't yet seen a review. Or sombody that has tried it. And does it honestly matter why I brought it back? I wanted to know more about nos for my model and have learned about it. So don't go attacking me for asking questions for my own personal gain cuz I believe that is what this forum is for.

 

[Mattyfats420]

i know myself i am always searching the forums from old posts to new. and if i ever did feel the need to bring back an old post or thread i will if i have a questions about it. thats what forums are for and about. good post flanders i would have never even known about nitrous if you didnt rehash this old thread. thanks man!

It would work if you set it up right. Like on my real car I run 150 wet shot. So if you could some how rig up a wet shot on the RC car instead of a dry shot it should run fun and not lean it out to much and blow it up. Like on a real car with a dry shot (Straight N2O) you spray it past the Mass Air Flow Sensor and confuse the computer and it will tell the fuel injectors to spray more fuel into the the cars (EFI Only) but this method is some what unreliable because it gets expensive fast because more than likely stock fuel injectors can't keep with it and spray more then they are intended to. But with a wet shot instead of spraying just N20 through the MAF Sensor you spray N20 and fuel at the same time so you don't need the hassle and worry of your car running to lean so if someone could rig up a way so when you spray it would spray N20 and fuel into the carb I believe it could run fine with very little consequences. But also on my real car I have a lean cut out switch which if it detects my car running to lean it will shut it down so it doesn't blow the intake into the stratosphere.

steve-o went crazy puffin those nos cartridges
that would be sikk to see it on a tmaxx

i thaink tower hobbies has a kit of hoses and switches for nos i seen a truck with one. it will pull the frount wheels off the ground

so if someone could rig up a way so when you spray it would spray N20 and fuel into the carb I believe it could run fine with very little consequences.

There lies the issue. These engines are not fuel injected. Fuel is not sprayed, it is siphoned. Tuning N2O injection is sort of hit or miss in these engines. IMO, the only practical use for it in r/c is with a 4-stroke engine where you can maximize the benefit due to a much much higher compression ratio. much more oxygen in the chamber to burn than in a comparable sized 2-stroke nitro engine.

 

[spike2c]

you have to come up with a way to regulate the NOS, the engine will only be able to handle small bursts if any

 

[Metalhead Matt]

These engines make enough power without jimmy riggin' a NOS boost. Wouldn't it be much easier to upgrade to a bigger or better mill then playing mad scientist, all the while ruining engines and wasting time and money? I feel this is as silly of an idea as a water cooled engine. Way better things to spend time on then doing something to an engine that it was never designed to handle. Hell, they already run off of nitro. I call shenanigans.

 

[qaart]

only thing i can say is if you want to do it then do it but its only good in small busrt

 

[flandersander]

to all you car guys, is nitrous oxide lighter or heavier than air?

Has anyone ever thought about trying to hook a nitrous oxide system to a T-maxx? I've got C02 sized nitrous cartridges and some crazy ideas.

What do you think?

i though of passloade cans out of nail guns and hooking tube up to carby and having it work when throttle is a full

agreed itd be better to just run a quality tuned engine. but nothing wrong with experimenting. thing is in a real car when adding nitrous u change timing and a/f ratio to compensate for the nitrous. in an rc car there really isnt much of a way to advance or retard the timing and as far as controlling the a/f ratio to a richer mixture when the n2o kicks in its kinda hard to richen it up when the car is moving 50mph and u can't tune the carb.

 

[frickenjoey]

Jamie what you are talking about is what I would typically call a really bad idea. You are going to destroy your engine. Please take the advise of people who have YEARS of experience in this. Not a good idea...not going to work. But go ahead and we will be here to chuckle about it.
