Honestly Thank you so much for all your great videos. Most engine modders would never share anything about the work they do. I've been reading a fair bit lately in an effort to better understand these engines, how they work and how to modify them just for my own interests and enjoyment and you have really helped with this video to increase my understanding. I honestly can't thank you enough for sharing what you have. Much respect and I'll be eagerly awaiting your next video.

Great video. I've never touched a nitro RC car in my life but the technology interests me. So far this has been the best video that I have come across which explains where the air is flowing and when. Subbed in the hopes of learning more and maybe 1 day having a play. 🇦🇺

Hi, I know we should measure the stock timing first and then we know what we have to do and we want to have nice 220 (160-60) timing, but my question is what is the impact/differences between cutting the opening and closing of the crank?...thanks

Hi sir first of all great vid very informative. I am searching the internet to find an answer to a question I have. I am hoping maybe you can help me, Is it possible to use a sleeve, piston and rod from one company in another crankcase. Eg. I have a hpi .21R SC and its parts are discontinued (or maybe I don't know that i am looking for) so i was wondering since novarossi help make that engine i can use their internals to bring the engine back to life.

11:45 that looks like a mito crank 13:05 I was going to say that looked my ops speedster sleeve Ive always wondered about the crank in the old Orion crf engine, there are slots in the crank opposite the window going thinner to thicker. Do you know what those do? Also, have you ever experimented with Singh grooves?
@TheRwmods3 жыл бұрын
Yes a Mito Crank, And the sleeve is from a Ops or the other brand. I did talk about the grooves on an Orion crank on one video. I played with Singh groove a few years ago but havnen't done anything with them lately.

Hi Good video :-) I hava a exhaust question , can i move the engine powerband with difrent size and length of a hose after the silencer ? Sorry for my bad English . Regards
@TheRwmods3 жыл бұрын
Yes making the header shorter or longer does change the powerband. Most older pipes with a silicone connector between them are pretty outdated. You would probably gain quite a bit of performance by getting a better pipe.

I don't really get why the manufacturer does make the engine perfect from the factory?
@LawrenceTimme4 жыл бұрын
@Mescalinum Sunshine true. I guess it would put the cost of manufacturing up to add these extra steps as well which would eat into the profit. Still you would think they would have found these mods in the designing phase of the engine and then put them into the production.

There is alot more to modifying an engine than grinding slots. Mapping out all the port and crank timing and then optimizing it is way more important than a few cuts on the sleeve.
