This Is What Happens

[Starionturbo]

I bought a Nitro R/C buggy just a couple of weeks ago - a Kyosho Inferno TR-15 with a .15 sized Nitro engine - ran the car in in 5% Nitro fuel and it ran really well and smooth. I broke so much stuff on it though, parts, driveshafts you name it. I even snapped the starter cord on the car, the flywheel came loose etc.

Simple things, but I got it running really good the other day, it was absolutely FLYING, after about 3-4 seconds of full throt, the car was peaking like a F1 car no joke- hitting a good 70-80 km/h at least! I upgraded the exhaust and put in OS glow plug.

Took it out in 35 degree weather, ran 16 % nitro and I got greeedy for more power, So I kept leaning it out until it was running like a devil , the thing was hitting powerband and spinning all 4 wheels!! Then it died. This is the result!

First pic is of the engine, note the new "tuned" extractor I got for it and tuned exhaust pipe!

This is when Mr Conrod decided to say Hi to the world.

lol, nice work

what kind of RPM would have it been hitting??

[Starionturbo]

haah the knock sensor broke probly!

Id say it wudve been hitting 35,000 RPM. The engines maximum max effecient RPM range is from 30,000 to 33,000 RPM and produces about 1.4 HP.
