Wow; sorry to see this fold so fast. Alex and I had every intention of getting out to race sometime this summer, but things just never worked out for me so that we could. Now we have missed it...

They are not even close to the car engines, performance-wise. The carburation and cam are specific to the car engine. Where the airplane engines will run very happily in the 8,000-10,000 rpm range,...

You are right, Carl, most 1/8 racers are not dumping it for 1/10 sedan. They are leaving altogether. The fact that a lot of folks that are staying in it are becoming more selective and racing less...

Yup; that is far. There is actually an indoor track, though. I told him if he was looking good in school I would send a car and equipment back to him later in the year. They supposedly run 1/10...

Funny how everyone's cost comparisons pit the cheapest, least competitive 1/8 equipment against the absolute top-of-the-line 1/10 sedan equipment. 1/8 is vastly more expensive to get into and...

Right up above, if you scroll up a bit to post #280, you will see where I went into gearing. 5.38:1 would be a very low first gear in a two speed car, and may not get the car going fast enough to...
