Upgrades

[M1tanker]

So I orders some more upgrades I have a axial .32 spec1 17tcb and 47spur. I just ordered a three speed trans is there a huge notice in performance. Also What are some other things people recommend upgrading for more power and speed? Also it seems like my truck sometimes gets stuck on things I would expect it to get over. And it will smoke from the engine area maybe clutch shoes need upgrading or maybe a new slipper. On dirt and grass it is fine though.

I'm assuming you have a savage ?

The 3 speed i personally do not have experience with. How ever i personally dont think its very noticeable in performance wise. Just the gear ratio is wider. So youll have some just more top speed. I personally only find it useful if you find your self on long straights and like to have that faster top end. For me, I'm never even really getting passed second gear that often. I'm always constantly on rough terrain and hill climbs I'm rarely on the road or wide enough areas. How ever i hear the 3 speed is very fun on open fields because you can reach some pretty impressive speeds.

On my savage savage I'm happy with my 4.6 and the hpi tuned pipe.

If your looking for serious power increases you can go with a bullet NOS system or super charger kit. I think the .32 is a good power upgrade over a stock .28. I'm sure with the .32 will go through all 3 gears quickly.

Holy crap please tell me you didnt just say what I think you said!

Please do not supercharge or add nos to your engine. The performance gains are not noticeable and you will end up ruining your engine in the end. I would suggest an LRP, O.S, or Picco engine.

You dont think thats notice able ?? Its forsure not good for your engine but your not gonna get much better power gains besides upgraded engine in my opinion.. and If hes already ordered an axial .32 i doubt hell order another engine on top of it.

that vid is a joke watch the throttle link he is only at 50% and adjusts the throttle trim then he goes 100%
its even more noticeable when the transmitter is out of the way

NOS / super chargers & turbos do not work on 2 stroke nitro engines as both inlet and exhaust ports are open at the same time so the fuel just gets blown out the exhaust,

no offense but i can't believe you just made such a newb suggestion,you have been around the forum awhile,i figured you would know better than to mention a stoopidcharger

I disagree, nos is really just chemical that burns at a much higher rate. There for creating a much faster and dramatic combustion. Super charger, well i dont have personal experience but from seeing videos they look like they do make a difference.


Also on this video i didnt see him adjust the throttle trim i see him use the reverse switch for the nos purge. Also I've never seen a tmaxx with the stock motor dramatically pull that fast.

Another video [ame="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EW1fBR3YiuI"]RC Nitrous Oxide - YouTube[/ame] I'm sorry but there is nothing you can say that will convince me this tmaxx suddenly get that much power just from adjusting trim on the radio.

 

[MudSlinger33]

I still saw the throttle linkage move drastically. Until I can see a close up of the nos system with a servo running it. I am not convinced.

If you have any other mods that will upgrade the power of the vehicle feel free.. Exhaust wont change power much at all.. Besides bolt ons there is porting the sleeve witch I'm sure he is not looking forward to taking apart the motor to do so and you have to be very experienced to do so.

Videos have a fine explanation and proof that some of these mods actually do increase power. You would need to run a richer af ratio but when you have alot of air forcing into an engine its common logic.. Pressurized air is atomized air witch is more combustible.

 

[joshman1204]

If you want to increase power then send the engine to ERCM and add an ERCM end bleed pipe. I promise you will get much more power and actually have a motor that will last more than 3-4 tanks.

NOS is an oxidizer/cooling agent. It allows for higher power out because of the cooling effect and the denser oxygen charge. With the extra oxygen you MUST add extra fuel or the engine will run lean and very hot causing it to self-destruct. Personally I wouldn't run NOS because it's too hard to get the extra fuel introduced and properly metered for the best performance.

 

[M1tanker]

Ya I am not super charging my engine or adding Nos done my research there and think its a horrible idea one question I have for the 32 engine would it be better to run a bigger fuel line though?
Seems with the smaller fuel line I can put a bigger one to get more fuel to the Carb and lean it out more for a bigger combustion?

Wow i can't' believe a member would actually suggest this crap as good advice. Tell you what you try it on your engine TRXaddict and then you get back to us with "stellar" results. I doubt very seriuosly that you have anything impressive to report. Except a cooked engine.

i never said anything about having reliability. I know the engines will run bad .. but i have no personal experience.But from looking at videos both nos and S/c kits on nitro engines do seem to improve performance somewhat ok ??

So you can ream and flame on me all you want.. i have no problem with any of you. even considered some of you forum friends .. i guess thats not true... We can fight all we want and i dont like fighting... I was making a suggestion and I'm sorry.... but no, need to attack me constantly.....


sorry i gave negative information to the OP. Its just my opinion that there is a noticable power gain regardless of the bad reliability issues aswell.

I was just listing options for noticable power... There isnt many bolt ons that produce barely any power at all..

 

[mrbones]

If your engine is smoking after you run it, you're probably running it too hot. Open the HSN to put some more fuel through it. The fuel is what cools you engine. You all ready have a huge engine. How much power do you really need? You just forget this business of a super charger or nitro system because you have no use for such things unless you're drag racing or tractor pulling. You don't need to be messing with the fuel mixture with nitro cause you'll burn up you engine and a super charge is useless in what we are doing.

 

[M1tanker]

Well something I never really thought of until today I run 20% nitro in all my cars and today I went and bought a gal of 30% and all I can say is Wow I noticed the difference running at about 240 degrees and the response is amazing. can't wait till my three speed motor gets here along with my aluminum clutch shoes

I disagree, nos is really just chemical that burns at a much higher rate. There for creating a much faster and dramatic combustion.

NOS or nitrous oxide is an oxidizer, meaning it adds oxygen.

By itself it will just lean the snot out of an eninge, any engine it's injected into.

That's why 1:1 nos systems have a nos side and a fuel side to them.

It's the extra fuel being sprayed into the intake that makes the power, the nos is what provides the extra oxygen to burn the extra fuel.

You have to have both extra fuel & nos to get the power, just nos is a 100% guaranteed burned piston.

In nitro rc engines theres no replacement for displacement!

In my opinion thats just a much more detailed version of my post.. Its both a chemical... and it makes the fuel burn much more stronger than it did with out it.

Like i said also earlier in the post.. i never said anything about reliability . I'm simply saying there arent really any bolt ons that upgrade the power of a nitro engine. exhaust doesn't do much, an upgraded filter doesn't do much.. theres almost no bolt on upgrades that can increase power.. I was just showing options that in my opinion may increase power dramatically key word ( may ) .

If you know a bolt on that dramatically or effectively increases horse power than I'm open to any ideas.

Please dont list any exhaust pipes because they dont really do THAT much of a difference.. So theres not many options.

Also, in the past videos I've posted with the stock tmaxx. People dont believe it has nitrous oxide... How in the world does a stock tmaxx produce that much power ??? no port job will do that.. SO obviously it does make a difference.. Just reliability wise it always goes out the window..
