One might consider you to to be thinking out of the box a tad also when it comes to TQ's. My point is change is going to happen and to let one self get caught in the past is not a good thing.

Now Ford is working on a little 4 cylinder motor that will Spank the 6 cylinder one before I can get it in a car, "Times they are a changing". As technology and machine operations improve things that were once very expensive to produce, Electronic fuel injection components, Turbo Chargers and 4 Valve heads are now becoming common place and relativity in expensive.

Great for racers if they take advantage of what is out there. I think I will draw the line at an electric Motor and Battery, or should I have said "Dynamo".

DAD, I bin thinking outa th box since I was 8 or 9 yrs old, and not doing anything that isn't in our little thin , 3page rule book, like I said before, KISS, and that's what we got, and if folks want to spend big bucks, let em, just make sure they follow the inside of the box! BTW, I was offered the chance to put a "GREEN" motor in my car, in fact, the engineers from the factory had already measured the space available, and all, but then they dropped the "project", that was about 7-8 yrs ago.

It all boils down to "Green Motors" They are all the time trying to outproduce their competition and making "Internal combustion Engines" that are new and different and fast. Then all of a sudden it gets all out of hand and I am saying disparaging things about TQ's. I apologize, there by but for the grace of God I might have been racing one of them and I hope having fun.

I woulda liked to tried the electric motor, cause I like experimenting, and when it doesn't cost me anything, I like it even better, I never had that much trouble with the old Honda's, yeah, I built a grenade one time, all legal, just light parts, and an awesome cam, but we over revved it one night, and I figured it was wounded, but what th hey, I only had my time in it, all the parts were someone else's throw aways, so we went ahead a ran it, almost finished the season before the wounded rod let go, still sold all the parts for more than enough to put together the 600 Yamaha, that ran trouble free for at least 6 seasons!

Time out!!!!!

Great things are on the horizon for both Motorcycles and Motorcycle engine powered race cars.

I hate to think however that someday we will be racing an over sizes RC car without the RC,
