  • For a lousy $300USD I can run these engines until they explode. I say we do a little scientific experiment, but you guys will need to put your money where you mouth is, each of you send me the $300 on pay pal and I will refund the winner. If they do a full tank of gas at full revs then Tobinator wins if they blow Assassin wins. Anyone else want in on the action? :)

  • @ferret99996

    I believe you've misunderstood the argument.

  • @Tboninator Pitty could have been a good video :)

  • @ferret99996

    Could have, but unfortunately what would probably happen is the engine would more than likely just overheat and seize. For the sake of argument, how many rods have you broken? lol

  • @Tboninator I havn't broken any, but apparently I should have! Yes the video would be less than spectacular visually. I personally think the HPI engine would go the distance. They are pretty tough. I have seized a near new Traxxas but I think it was too lean too soon, and it was actually on the grass to be clear. I had the throttle jam open on a couple of cars and they were very hot by the time I got them back but I am still using the engines so no "obvious" damage. There is a video.

  • @Tboninator You are right I don't get it. Can you explain this to me in simple terms what the disagreement is about?

  • That car looks bad ass fuck how much did it cost to do this and it sounds beast . I liked and I loved all of your videos so I had to subscribe.

  • thank you for posting this. seriously thank you :D

  • "hear" = Heat

  • The strength of metal is partially dependent on the temperature of the metal. The hotter you get the con rod the lower its tolerance to breakage becomes. The cooler running rod will have a higher tolerance but that doesn't make it indestructible.So obviously breakage can occur without the hear, only breakage is more probable to occur faster if heat is added into the equation.

  • @SUPERFORMIAN Revving too fast or exceeding max rpm with no load & yes the vacuum creates the fuel pressure & yeas it will only be reduced slightly. Engine might be outside in -50 but the engine internals are not -50. The excess rpm, and heat do not break the con rod, but are contributing factors in con rod failure.

  • A good way to prove it would be this: fill the tank, start the engine, and let it warm up at idle on a stand. A massive amount of liquid nitrogen will be needed. Simultaneously, full throttle the engine without releasing and continuously soak the engine with the liquid nitrogen which in turn will severely lower the temp below 200 or maybe even 150. Refuel when the tank is near empty without stopping the engine. Eventually, engine failure will occur. At 20 below.

  • Hold up, here. Let's combine a few things. You're saying revving too much without load will lean out the fuel mixture. However, all the back pressure created from throttling that high is regulated by the exhaust pushing more fuel to the engine. It's a vacuum, if it does lean out then it's not by much. You're also saying you will need excessive heat from the friction for the con-rod to separate. You can over rev the engine in 50 below and still break the con-rod.

  • @ferret99996

    Cont'd.......Also he tried to claim it will break a con-rod; he later started saying WOT, and is now agreeing with me on over-revving being the issue, but still thinks lack of lube, fuel, and friction are factors, when its simply inertia at high speeds causing con-rods to break, not necessarily anything else. He more or less argues that you can run an engine at any RPM past the maximum safe range as long as its cooled well enough and has enough fuel/lube. lol
