Sorry but I have to re-enter this thread, running nitrous in a little model engine is just plain stupid and has no real use. Yes I have run nitrous in some of my cars, no not any four bangers either, all V8 muscle. The only reason anyone would run nitrous in a glow engine is to brag and say they did it, again, it has no real use. Just to let you all know, I have ran 10.90 in a nitrous charged Mustang. Nitrous has no place in a RC, Too many people have been watching fast and the furious. Do a .21 upgrade if you want reliable REAL power.

You don't see a contradiction here?

Lol my best time @ a MILE HIGH alltitude in my RX-7 pushing 19lbs of boost in a single HKS Ball bearing T-88 turbo was 9.86......544hp@ the wheels in a daily driver:whhooo:

Peace

No, that Mustang did not have a GLOW engine in it, so no, there is no contradiction. Read carfully before you reply. I have nothing against running nitrous in a real car.

I thought we were talking about cars on nitrous?, I wasn't bragging I was simply implying that I have used nitrous for years and know it's capabilities. List you mods, I would love to see a 490RWP RX7 run 9's. You must have a serious suspension setup to hook perfect, seening that Ari Yallon ran this

:whistle: By the way, Ari was running 600 RWP. Even thou he ran a t78 turbo.

I read perfectly.

The point is braging was stupid when it was a glow engine but it's perfectly acceptable when it's a mustang.

Double standard.
 
Ok, so we have ran hundreds of tanks of nitrous, and have inspected engines on a regualr basis for signs of a lean condition, or detonation and have not found signs of either. While we are not injecting fuel with the nitrous the engine is getting 64% more fuel due to the increased exhaust pressure. Do we know we are getting the exact correct amount of fuel for the shot of nitrous, no we don't. However I can say we are not getting a lean condition and, but we are gaining massive amounts of power. Are we in beta stage, maybe that is hard to say. We have been developing this product for over a year, now we are releasing our first products to the public.


M@xximillion,
I am curious how it is nitrous is pointless on an RC. I also have a Mustang that I run nitrous in. The benifits are great! As they are on an RC. You make a statement but don't back it up with anything other than you run it on your Mustang. I fail to see the connection. People are intitled to their opinions but opinions need to be backed with facts.
 
My point is that Nitrous is going to be more of a hassle than it's worth. I can just see kids getting setups and have a ton of problems Then there is the worry of the pressurized cylinders strapped to somthing thats jumping and traveling at high speed. I just think the rewards don't out weigh the hazard. In short, there is safer more stable ways to make a toy car go faster.

And still, I wasn't bragging, just making aware that I have a backround useing nitrous effectivly, I stated an example, thats all.
 
Sorry M@xx, but it sounded like you were trying to cut up the whole idea (and most of the people in this thread who even take this post half seriously). For all the reasons you just listed, I couldn't agree more that it would be more hassle than it's worth. However, if someone had a flawless system set up ...that would be kind of cool to see.

More importantly (to me anyway) is that when people read threads like this one, it makes people free to dream about the posibilities. As far as I can see that is much better than just writing the whole idea off as "stupid" and not thinking about it any further.

Christopher Columbus had a crazy idea once and everyone told him it wouldn't work because the earth was flat, and now look where we live today.

I'm still not so sure if selling this is a good idea because for the most part (you're totally right) it seems all round dangerous. I guess in the beginning I thought it would be cool (because I'm a risk taker) if someone donated me a semi working motor so I could tinker and maybe someday post a vid of either me blowing the thing up or me chacing it down the street seconds before it took out a parked car or a curb. That would be the best results I could hope for by putting nitrous in my RC.

For me, that's what RC and this site is (should be ) all about. Just getting out there and having fun. (and living to tell the story of course)
 
Hehehe - make sure you put the 'is known to cause cancer in the state of California' stickers on it.

Id have to agree that the Nitros is a dangerous idea for kids, but, if you restrict your market to adults, then hey, by all means, let them have at it. I certainly know a couple of GUYS that would be willing to buy a truck just so they could put nitros in it. And they arent even in the hobby.

I still want to make a full size battlebot with swinging blades that spin and shoot fire too!

Let blow this motha f*&^a up!
 
Maxxheadroom, do you have any before and after dyno results?

Show me the results, and sell me a kit and a substantially reduced price and I'll be the test dummy for everyone here.
 
We have a test kit out right now actually, the guy we have testing the kit is a very established RC drag racer, he is not only doing a review for us but he is doing some dyno runs for us.

I would love to see you perfect it, I love this stuff as much as everone else, hell if I had a spare engine it would be in the mail tomorrow:classic: I guess being a dad makes me a little too cautious. I didn't mean to sound like I was dogging anyone's idea, I now that's how it sounded so I appologize.
 
M@xximillion,

I understand your concern and I can assure you our kit is safe, not only is the bottle very securly attached to the valve body with the bottle nut but it has a rigid bottle gaurd around it. Nitrous oxide is a non flammable gas so if there were to be a leak the bottle will merely vent the gas off. I have bashed my Maxx hard to try and cause a bottle to leak, with no luck. Not to say it is not possible (I have learned in this hobby is you can think of it, it is possible) but the system is safe. As for the numbers as soon as I get them they will be posted on our forum!
 
can you say pressurized cylinder?.....mini rocket if something were to knock the top off...(or in this case pierce it somehow) just buy a bigger motor imho. would be cool to say yea I got nos on my rc truck/car...but hey what the heck...people have done crazier things...good luck.
 
The nitrous system has a valve in the bottle this isn't just a CO2 cartrige. It would be very difficult to have one of these just start leaking.
 
it creates a boost that will make it go in faster. ud have to use superchareger or turbo with it to work properly on such a small engine. i did it on a mustang its a wet sump system thatll kill
if u do that then it will go in unles you insert through the backplate into the crankcase or use a direct inject which is really risky

it also makes it sure to go in instead of leaving and being a waste nitrous oxide is really expensive if used a lot.
