SuperStockAndy Posted October 3, 2011 Author Share Posted October 3, 2011 Not sure why he kept it going after the generator bracket broke. The internals probably would've been fine if he would have stopped it then. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robert81 Posted October 3, 2011 Share Posted October 3, 2011 1/4 scale engine going 7000rpm? that scales out to 28000rpm, no wonder he is breaking stuff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SuperStockAndy Posted October 3, 2011 Author Share Posted October 3, 2011 Yeah, kind of like you can scale MPH's down but not time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harry P. Posted October 3, 2011 Share Posted October 3, 2011 If something is turning at 7,000 RPM it's turning at 7,000 RPM, no matter what scale it is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ben Posted October 3, 2011 Share Posted October 3, 2011 I have the chassis kit that goes with that engine. Think of the burnouts I could do! LOL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SuperStockAndy Posted October 4, 2011 Author Share Posted October 4, 2011 you think? Yeah. I don't know why though. It just seemed to go downhill when the belt came off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SuperStockAndy Posted October 4, 2011 Author Share Posted October 4, 2011 I didn't, good find. I wonder if he threw a rod? The video description said something about the cranks journals breaking....I wonder if that's why? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chuck Most Posted October 4, 2011 Share Posted October 4, 2011 1/4 scale engine going 7000rpm? that scales out to 28000rpm, no wonder he is breaking stuff. Wonder what 30 weight oil would be in 1:4 scale... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scale-Master Posted October 4, 2011 Share Posted October 4, 2011 Yeah, kind of like you can scale MPH's down but not time. You can't scale down time but you can scale down MPH? The "H" in MPH is "hour". How does that work? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SuperStockAndy Posted October 4, 2011 Author Share Posted October 4, 2011 (edited) Not sure if you saw my mini dragstrip I made, I figured how fast the cars would run to scale (1/64), by dividing a reasonable speed for that cay by 64. EDIT-Yeah on my other post, a better way to word that would've been "You can scale down speed....".
