I think we would be giving up a bunch of high end just for a little gain in the low end with the addition of more weight, moving parts and potential failures.
Until I see one smoke an average nitro of comparable displacement (probably not in my lifetime) I wont even waste my time hoping.
Blue smoke and the sweet aroma of Nitro...Yep thats where its at! breeth deeply Daniel son.
LOL i hear ya. When i watched that video i was thinking wow that sounds cool, but it seemed to handle like a tank. Had decent low end expecially for the gearing he was running, but i think he was running it at such a high gear ratio to make up for the loss of top end. Going down the straight i was not impressed, and going over jumps i was not impressed, but off the line and out of corners it did seem to be more powerful. I don't think that engine would do much on most race tracks but its an interesting development regardless.
