In the old days, soon after the wheel was invented, they ran diesel engines in tether cars. Maybe something for you to try, but with rc control.

Nah. They don't rev as hard and the fuel is expensive. I do want to try a fixed compression 4-stroke diesel. I think my little Enya .46 4-stroke will run on diesel pretty good. Fixed compression just requires changing the fuel composition to suit the engine's load.

Of course that's when I actually have time.

Sounds like a good plan with the 4 stroke, they sound great when diesel converted!

You should see the team race diesels.. there's some screaming diesels! It seems the Russians and Ukrainians have model diesel performance engines down to a science.

The hardest thing to deal with with diesels.... The smell. It sticks to your hands for days.
