A compound turbo system uses a small turbo blowing into a larger turbo. That's just a twin turbo setup. Both turbos blow into a single intercooler somewhere to the back of the car then come back to the intake of the engine. Obviously not finished as the return tube and injector stacks are open.

Soak it PB Blaster or WD40 overnight then try it. If you disassemble it down to just metal parts, put some heat to it.

It's ball/hex on the end of the starter shaft. Not usually a tight fit. Was the motor seized and someone tried to spin the starter? I have actually worn out one of the starter shafts due to how loose they fit and I use a drill to start mine. If you want copies of the original manuals/parts...

LOL, yeah I fixed that issue. I thought it was in this thread too but shortly after finishing it up I took it for a spin around an old go-kart track. It was a blast and I got permission to use the track any time but I never have. I can't believe this thread is 2 years old!

If you have a smart charger - charge or discharge to storage voltage. About half charged. I store mine in a fireproof lipo storage bag in my garage.

Hey Bro! Yeah I knew DJI would be good but I was hoping for more of budget option. I forgot about Blade, duh! What about those Holy Stone? He tends to change interest real quick so it's kind of a double edged sword - a poor quality one may not last long enough to peak his interest were as an...

My grandson (10) wants a drone for Christmas. I haven't been into rc a lot lately and definitely not drones! I am looking for some advice a decent quality starter for him. We gave him a cheap little heli recently and not that they are excessively hard to fly, he took to it really quick and does...

I can't do anything until Christmas is taken care of but I'd really like to have those. I'll have to keep an eye on this thread!

Definitely can find some neat stuff on FB marketplace. Good score, the vid makes me want to burn some nitro :D

Looks like a very cool project. Look forward to seeing more. :thumbs-up:

Well, we don't use a lot of 1/4" aluminum bar at work so it took some scrounging but I managed to find some. I couldn"t find what I wanted for the colectors so I machined up a couple of them at work this week. I thought I had a pic of them but sorry guys, I guess I didn't. Saturday afternoon I...

Well...... I suppose after 2 years it's time for an update. MY main hobby is my Mustang race car but it is off to the performance shop for a dyno tune so it's gone for a while. Also my son and buddy for everything moved out a left me so now I have plenty of time to kill. I figured I would get...

With gas prices climbing I decided to buy a gas saver to drive to work. I bought this for 1K and fixed a couple of things. Surprisingly with it's supercharged 1.6L engine and a manual 6 speed it puts a big smile on my face and doubled my fuel mileage over my truck!! Here's my BMW 😊

Love that Mustang body Frog - it's wicked! :p To the OP, I have been around the hobby a long time and never really got good at painting bodies. The number one thing you need is what I lack, patience!

Awesome to see drag racing picking up in popularity. Doubly cool to see you build cars with nitro power! Just personal opinion but I would ditch those fancy canister air filters and go with open 2 stage element filters.

I bought this boat just as shown in the pics but I have never tested it. Comes with radio, stand , original instructions and box/packaging. Looks to be super nice, complete and everything is clean. It's cool and looks nice on the shelf but I would rather do some things to my new daily driver -...

No, sorry but I don't make them any more. I don't even have the size specs if I wanted to make one now.

Where's BullWinkle? LOL:thumbs-up:

Never seen the tank before but those amphi-cars are neat. You can buy tickets and take a ride out in the lake at The Landing in Branson MO.

Winter is getting ready to show it's face so I just ate some of my wife's home-made chicken and noodles :thumbs-up::thumbs-up:
