RE: Spam!
Lol I don't specify in automotive as the questions are far too specific to be looked up easily. All my specifications are easy to look up and electronics. Only engines I know anything about are 2 stroke piston port engines like my 90hp outbaord and r/c engines. Never really cared enough to do any motor stuff on my car, I don't know why but I find 4 strokes boring. Small and fast has always intrigued me though. Some nirto motors rev up to 35,000rpm, and 2 stroke gassers can reach 19,000rpm. That is just sexy...

yeah my o.s. crx-v .15 maxes out at 30k rpms... makes good power. I have the stiffest springs HPI offers on my truck and that engine will still make the chassis squat to the ground on a WOT take off. I never really got into boats... i never wanted to see what happens to a boat at full speed when it goes out of radio range lol...

Lol with a failsafe it's ok. I run my boat out in the middle of the bay off my boat. What is bad is getting something in the water pick up and the engine overheats and you have no idea it not getting water. Oh and flipping and not closing that carb real qucik, lol water doesn't like to compress, it perfers to bend con rods.

Good thing the rods arent too expensive and somewhat easy to replace... my engine wasn't getting the same power it used to and I think compression is the problem, but i ran it too lean and scorched the entire inside of the engine. i'm too cheap for a failsafe since it's not too expensive to replace the front suspension arms and tie rods, but now that its an all aluminum/carbon fiber $1200 beast im a little more careful with it. its pretty powerful, they come stocks with plastic drive hexs (the equivalent of what splines on the full size car axles do) and I hit the throttle with the new motor and it rounded the hexes in the wheels. you should post some pics... ill post some tomorrow

Oh and I don't have any pictures of my old boat, I sold it to help fund my new boat. When I get my magnum I'm defiantly going to take some pics of it. Although you have to see it in real life to really get a feel for how big it is.
