    I had an idea, motor dynometer?

    Wow i'm retarded, I always thought it was dynometer, not dynamometer :duh: Anyway, I found a perfect example of what I'm talking about. Only with a nitro motor of course. Rollers definitely would be a good approach since you would measure what you're putting to the ground after all the...

    I had an idea, motor dynometer?

    I had an idea, motor dynamometer? I've read lots of threads about diy dynos, and most seemed to vere off getting technical losing sight of a project that would show visible gains. And then I did find an actual rc dyno you plop your trucks or cars on. But yeah... 1700us doesn't fly. I was...

    Froze my exhaust it got the dent's out but it is big

    Well I dunno... Your pulse is going to expand rapidly with that hump as it reachs the top of the divergent cone scavenging more air out of your motor. But its right before the convergent cone too... so... your tune will probably be way out to lunch!

    What do you guy's use to....

    Believe it or not, but using a bit of loctite blue actually works. Makes a bit of a mess when you remove the screw. But I tried just for the sake of trying, and it works...

    How is hpi with engine defects? K46 is leaking like mad...

    I will sir. Funny thing is the more I run this thing, the less it leaks. Infact, I don't think its even now... Has anybody experienced that? Perhaps a heavily rich condition causing so much crankcase pressure pushing fluid past a seal? I dunno. I have funny karma... Engines not...

    How is hpi with engine defects? K46 is leaking like mad...

    Yeah... I've replaced a bunch on my f motor. I just, don't want to mess about with the new engine that much and possibly be held responsible "trying" to fix it and actually damage something while its on warranty. Sounds dumb, but something as simple as removing the fly wheel the last time...

    Hey guys, 30%nitro break in??

    I decided to buy an ss since the xl came out, they were on sale. So I finished building it tonight, swapped a few things over from my rtr. But I was wondering, I have a gallon of 30% blue thunder. Could I use that to break it in? Or should I buy some lower % fuel. Thanks!

    Rollcage update

    eh... Bodies are a no go. This is my truck, no body, just cage lol I don't really care for the bodies too much. Seeing this thing fly around, reminds me of a little baja truck. When I first got my savage, learning to jump and ****. I destroyed the body basically instantly. Kind of turned me...

    Rollcage update

    After months, she's still alive! If some of you remember, I made a cage in the early spring that I was kind of apprehensive about. But, after a long while of beating on it. Its still good. I would like to make a lighter one, but we'll see how motivated I get. After the...

    My truck got some nice new mitts today

    ugh... well, you must have gotten better ones than I did. ****en, maybe the fifth ride I've got on these and I literally cracked the entire center section of one of my rims from sliding on gravel and hitting the grass sideways. What a joke... I never assumed they'd be this weak. Only...
