I’m passing this knowledge on…just an fyi, not from me, but another rc fan out there:

Regarding Port size on a nitro engine, what’s the difference?

Smaller ports allow for greater intake velocity, good for low end torque, larger ports allow for more overall flow but a lower intake velocity, thereby reducing low end torque, and increasing top end power. As you will need to achieve a higher rpm with a larger port to match optimal intake velocity. Obviously undersized ports will limit power, but the same is true of over sized ports. You cant have both optimum torque and optimum top end, but you can achieve a good balance of both with proper sized intake ports.

In reguard to exhaust ports undersized ports will not allow all of the exhaust to leave the combustion chamber, whereas over sized ports will in effect lower exhaust velocity and not allow for proper scavenging of the exhaust, essentially you wont get all the exhaust out of the combustion chamber, thereby lessening power as the fresh fuel and air is smothered by leftover exhaust. Again, you must find a proper balance to allow for good flow, too big is just as bad as too small.”

I’m currently evaluating some other online help desk communities (forums) and will post a review right here at the end of the month. Depending upon my experiences on those forums, they will receive a rating from 1 to 10 with a detailed description of my experiences there, good or bad.

There is an easy way to figure how fast your truck is at top speed.

Draw two lines 100 feet apart. You’ll need room on either side of the lines for braking and to reach your top speed. Do it on a nice level road. Then you’ll need a stop watch and someone to time you. Get your truck up to operating temperature and do a run. You want your truck to be at top speed when you hit the first line and continue until you hit the second line. Get that someone to start the timer as soon as your truck starts to cross the first line. That someone will have to stop the timer as soon as your truck starts to cross the second line. Do it a few time. This will allow the time keeper to get some practice on the timing. Then, do it several time in both direction and record each time. Now, with your calculator, take 100 divide by your average time and multiply that by .68 and it will give you your speed in mph. So if your average time between lines is 1.8 seconds then it’s 100/1.8x.68=37.77 mph.
