Working hood scoop

[alpinehyperlite]

bump for unanswered questions.

Okay Alpine we know you know the mechanics on your radar gun & siren/flesh light control panel...

But what about a shot of NOS & one of them fancy soopercharger doohickies, gotta take that into affect too ya know.. Its not all bells n whistles like your cruiser

find the fix

RB innovations makes kinda what your after, except its for 1/5 R/C:

Also they make ram air filter set ups for 1/8 but they hardly look as good as a hyper charger air filter.

I was thinking about mounting it on my savage FLM chassis, where the centre mount fuel tank would go.

They don't allow Alpine to use NOS on his cruiser. It makes it too easy for him to catch speeders. The only stoopid things are the occasional occupants of his cruiser's back seat.

I don't build these for show. If it actually worked, don't you think I'd have one on here?

 

[Phins Fan]

For something to "work" don't you have to use it???

Hey! Could you people up front keep the chatter down? I know my rights!

You have the right to wear pants; any failure to do so could result in a mandatory BCS.

You have the right to actually use your RC models; failure to do so can cause them to be given to n00bs to use in the mud pit to learn to tune properly.

I'm sorry but every I see those shocks on the wheely bar I can't help but laugh.. it looks cool, and i know took a ton of work, but cmon Rolex shocks on the wheely bar?

LoL don't be hating lol...love that Savage!!

They serve the purpose of allowing it to rise without impact, and in turn ease it back down. Absolutely functional, even though that engine couldn't lift that weight.

 

[sur3fir3]

I figured they were functional, I'be just never seen that before and it's very unique

 

[Alexander_0_1]

Ya but you still missed a spot.

So I'm looking at you "Bling Thing" and notice you didn't put shock for bumper braces

Maybe you could use this skid plate, and shocks of you choosing?

[Rolex]

I never saw that before, but I'm not making plans for any impact.

 

[HPI-Killer]

If not a hood scoop, would a stretched out filter neck like the bling machine actually function the same as a standard length filter?

 

[alpinehyperlite]

From the way i see it, it would be more restrictive forcing the air to travel further down a constricting pipe.

Thats kinda what I figured between that and the engine not having to proper power to draw it fluently through the length.

It might ever so slightly hamper the performance having that longer tube, not so much where a person would notice the difference, having that tube run to the front of the Bling Thing just means Rolex is scooping up way cleaner air than the rest of us mounting our filters in the regular spot...think about it I get a lot of dirt and debris kicked onto my savages by the front tires alone,

It would make a bigger negative difference if he had to curve and bend that tube to fit he application, example: straight straw verses a curvy straw, straight straws are always easier to drink from

 

[alpinehyperlite]

Rolex's aint scooping up ANY air.

 

[Alexander_0_1]

.....ya your right, he ain't scooping, but he does get cleaner air with his set up, ya gotta give me that one.
