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.

1/4 scale engine going 7000rpm? that scales out to 28000rpm, no wonder he is breaking stuff.

Naa, RPM's are RPM's

[SuperStockAndy]

Yeah, kind of like you can scale MPH's down but not time.

[Harry P.]

If something is turning at 7,000 RPM it's turning at 7,000 RPM, no matter what scale it is.

I have the chassis kit that goes with that engine. Think of the burnouts I could do! LOL

[SuperStockAndy]

you think?

Yeah. I don't know why though. It just seemed to go downhill when the belt came off.

[SuperStockAndy]

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?

Wonder what 30 weight oil would be in 1:4 scale...

You can't scale down time but you can scale down MPH? The "H" in MPH is "hour". How does that work?

[SuperStockAndy]

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....".
