This is my 2 cents. I race cars down the qaurter mile. I have had many cars with n20 and if you tune a motor right it can last a long time, BUT these rc motors are so small and n20 raises the cylinder pressure so much I dont think they can take it. Once again I'm kinda new to nitro. Another thing is n20 lowers the intake temp so much and nitro is so tempermental I dont think it would be worth the time.
 
hoarp... nice car. but just because it already goes fast... doesn't mean it can't go faster... :ninja:

keep us posted on the project though. more pics and for sure a VIDEO
 
Its your dough. You see how well it "works". Then you be sure to come back and tell us your "success". You think

your the 1st rc ricer to try to do this? Stay around awhile. They come and go on here like clockwork, all with the same

results.. poop. Good luck though.

Not for a moment, I'm not even an RC racer, I'm a special effects bloke. I am sure there are ways to make an RC car go

faster with bigger engines but thought i might as well try.

What camera did you take the photos with?
How long ago did you take them?
Nice car?

I took all the photos on my Canon powershot A520. Its a fairly basic camera really but it takes some pretty good

pictures. The pictures of the car are about a month old. The nos pictures are about a week old.

I wouldn't be worried about the NOS, near as much as I'd be worried about that pidgeon problem you have and that

car.

We scared the pidgeons off by hanging old AOL CDs in the trees. the wind blows them about and the light reflects off them

and shines in their faces and they fly away.

BTW, are you even gonna do this?

it's been quite long since you started the thread.

I know I'm waiting for the rollers for my rolling road. should be here on monday and i can quickly throw it together and

hopefuly try it out properly on tuesday/wednesday. I've also been waiting for a new radio transmitter for afew weeks.

This is my 2 cents. I race cars down the qaurter mile. I have had many cars with n20 and if you tune a motor right

it can last a long time, BUT these rc motors are so small and n20 raises the cylinder pressure so much I dont think they

can take it. Once again I'm kinda new to nitro. Another thing is n20 lowers the intake temp so much and nitro is so

tempermental I dont think it would be worth the time.

Thats exactly why I'm doing it, as i said I'm not a racer I'm just doing it to see if it works and to make a controlable

contained unit that can sit on the car and deliver the gas in a controlled way.

I will most definatly get a video and maybe some highspeed of any 'splosions :D
 
Why go through the trouble of building a "rolling road" (treadmill) for your car? Just zing it down the road, and make sure a buddy is filming to catch the explosion.
 
Re

dont have a road lol

The highspeed wont move anyway, its best to get all the cameras on tripods staring waiting for the carnage...

Now THAT is a creative use for those coasters! :cheers:

I recently tested a performance part that I made. I invested 40$ on a kit to install.
While running on my treadmill at full speed I shoved a 4 cell Mag light up my ass. At full speed, I kicked harder, rpm increase, and theres a telltale plume of smoke from my exhaust.

Give that one a try. It will yield approximately the same results.
Now you can say you head it here!
this should really boost your speed :hehe:
