Force Posted July 11, 2015 Posted July 11, 2015 (edited) As far as I know they don't have tubes inside tubes on the chassis for crank case evac purposes, just the chassis tube itself, and the oil vapour in the evac fumes makes an oil film on the inside of the tubing so it will not corrode. A modern nitro engine developes somewhere around 10 000 hp so it's more than enough power to spin the wheels of any size, no start line pad can hold more than 1 500 - 2 000 hp regardless of how well it's prepared so they slip 8 000 hp through the 6 disc clutch they use nowadays at the start to prevent wheel spin and slowly apply more clutch pressure up to about half track where the clutch is fully locked.
