modded nitro buggy.

[Dan13]

Hi guys
This is my modded smartech buggy, it has 1/8 truggy shocks, spaced out front bumper and braced chassis. All the radio gear has been uprated and the manafold had been bored out.
What do you think of it then?
thanks

Im still wondering how i can get mmore power out of it, maby port and polish the head? Also a allu exhaust should help and look cool:thumbsup:
Thanks

If you are not to fussed about engine life. best option from my experience is run a higher concentrated % of nitro methane. e.g 25% is for 21 - 28 engines. not sure what your is? usually smaller engines run 16%. try a higher percentage is my bet.

also what fuel are you putting through it.
byron is a nice blend for race engines, you may see better top end speed.
model technics - cheapest out of the lot but is good on a good tune, although using this fuel requires a slight tune every time started.
the last fuel i ran on my 21 8 port 3.55 cc engine was opti fuel(HPI and optifuel blend)
was very good in the hobao.

regards.

lol top fuel dragsters are fast down a straight but you dont see them going round corners :lol:

I find it handles fine, if not excelent!
Thinking of fitting my mates 28 size nitro engine:woot: soon, might need to widen the mounts!lol
So higher persentage = more rpm?
Is there away of mounting 1/8 wheels?
Cheers
