Is it possible to get a nitro or gas RC to backfire? Like, putting a spark in the exhaust. I just disassembled a broken burner and found a spark generator. If i get channel 3 to click on it then why not

If they don't have an engine then for sureI've seen this kind of thing on RC drift cars. It looks legit but i think its just like a lighter they stick into the hood.
Lol I have a chemistry test in two weeks so if I tell her I bound the remaining carbon (monoxide) atoms to oxygen after incomplete combustion...I don’t know but I want to tell you that I really like the way you think
I just gave it a try with the lighter and it didn't work out after all Though I could see some of the smoke burning, it was just a small flame as long as my , and when i stopped the fire from my lighter, the exhaust fire stopped immediately. I might try again sometime but with a "silencer" with holes in it to have some more oxygen before mixing with the environment. Or am I thinking about it the wrong way?I'll first test this idea by just using an engine on a bench test, "throttling" and using a butane propane lighter
Would it be safe to try this with a gasser?I dont think so with the nitro fuel ,it does not ignite fast enough as
it has to be compressed to burn!

thanks for the ideaI got my nitro to backfire one time but that was on accident ,it was when I used that WD electrical contact cleaner
I could mix a bit of WD40 into the fuel... I saw someone doing it on youtube and a lot (if not all) of the WD40 went out of the exhaust as a liquid. I guess I'll give it a go sometime
thanks for the idea

Would beauty ricinus oil like this work?If instead of rich you were running "oily," with a higher-percentage mix of oil, and burning the vaporized portion of that?
Never heard of that. Just googled it, looks like a great idea This one seems fun and simplest to me to assemble. But I got a problem because it needs 3A at 3-5V. I could connect six 0.5A 3.7V plane batteries in parallel but not really into doing that I do have a 3A 8.4V battery. Would this transformer solve my problem?Maybe something like an arc ignitor would work across the exhaust.
That and doesn't nitro burn clear?I dont think so with the nitro fuel ,it does not ignite fast enough as

I just read a whole thread about this on RC universe and can't really understand how, but quite very sure I saw atleast a 8cm orange stable coming out of the exhaust in clear daylight. Engine wasn't too rich eitherThat and doesn't nitro burn clear?
help what does that mean. Sorry for asking to explain a joke (i guess) but actually??You got the fd on speed dial?

Even if the fire idea doesn't really turn out the way I wanted it at first, it would still look very cool if there was a non-stop finger-sized flame coming out of the exhaust. Especially if I do it in a rear exhaust T2M series 5000 with a BMW body
It's great anyway to hear that a 0.5A plane battery would be enough. 10 seconds seem decent, definetely enough for one passA 0.5A 3.7V battery would probably power that arc ignitor for ~10 minutes. I notice it says its only good for 10 seconds of continuous use
I'd have to buy the Optifuel for helicopters/planes from Belgium, because most nitro percentage plane fuel I can get here is 5%. Expensive shipping just for this isn't really worth it tbh.I was thinking something like a "plane" fuel with ~18% oil instead of nitro buggy fuel. Adding cosmetic castor to fuel would almost certainly gum up the engine since the castor we use has been processed for that
