Large scale gas rc has many faucets for fun, and I've found one aspect of it, often a bother for some, that I enjoy immensely: those days when I'm struggling between high speed needle, low speed needle, and idle needle to stop my engine from bogging down when I grab that trigger as if hoping for a great launch off the line at a drag race.
Fiddling, launching and relaunching. I discovered it's a ton of fun, especially when it bogs less and less.
This is what I was doing the other day with my 2-year-old Redcat Rampage XR with its 2-year-old Zenpah G290RC engine. (And in the process I discovered that I won't mind fifth-scale drag racing.
As I write the delivery of my Rovan 305 Baja buggy is one day from delivery. To think of it... hmmm. I may make it a dedicated drag racer.
(But why is my old engine bogging so constantly? Is it too old? Or is it time for it to be rebuilt?)
PEACE!
