Ok check out this R/C drag car from Aussie!

[Gdubb]

Buddy of mine runs a local R/C forum and he knows I like this stuff so he sent me this.

Its a 1/10 drag car with a .56 Sato 4 stroke that has a functional BLOWER!!

SWEET!!

 

[Slw01Cobra]

Dude that is badass! Where can i get one?? Haha

 

[Snakesvt04]

[BoneStock02]

Now that is one of the coolest things I've seen in along time.

Sick wheelstand!!!

That thing's pretty cool.

 

[SRT-4 Turbo 7]

Sick!!!

 

[rdsnk46]

Probably loosing .32 HP from parasitic drag........turbo would have been the way to go! LOL! JK! That is awesome!

My father built a few of those RC cars years ago. He has an F1 prototype that I swear runs 60 mph flat out. Hard as hell to control too.

sorry to dissapoint you but it has been proven 10000x before that those superchargers do not work on those little cars.

OP said the engine was a 4 stroke, so a supercharger should work. The reason you have seem them fail in the past is that they were put on 2 strokes.

It has been proven they dont work on the two strokes, because the boost just escapes out of the exhaust during the cycle.

That motor is a 4 stroke, and superchargers have been known to work on them. In fact OS made a 4 stroke with a supercharger from the factory.

no... they don't work on 4 strokes that small either. I will try to find the thread somewhere, but i know someone tested it and it makes practically 0 power with those. A supercharger puts parasitic loss on an engine, so how are you going to make power on an engine when the loss is equal to the gain?

superchargers are GIMMICKS to sell more cars, nothing more.

Cool car. I've been in R/C for about 15 years now. The superchargers for those cars do very little to the 4 strokes and actually make the 2 strokes unbearable to run and tune. If you want more power, remove some head shims, up the nitro content and if all the tricks in the book fail....Nitrous Express makes a kit you can install on them. It works. Barely driveable, but it works. I'm wondering why he went with a 4 stroke. Most 2 strokes now (entry level) turn a conservative 35-40k rpm. With some knife edging of the rod and reshaping of the intake port on the crank you can really wake up a cheap motor.

i have a jato 3.3 and it's pretty fast, i can't imagine how fast that car is? i bet he can barely control it?

 

[Teksid281]

Looks like a cog setup LOL. Seriously though, they are right about the superchargers not working. A guy at our local track had a twin 4 stroke twin superchaged T-Maxx and it got eaten alive by box stock 3.3 t-maxxes. That thing would ride a wheelie til the cows came home though.

 

[SVT4ME]

Wonder if you can hear the whine?

This is what i've been trying to tell all of the 03/04 owners out there!!!:burnout:
