@omarbalanzar8034 I have wasted over 500 bucks searching for the right foam. I have not found the right combination. I use to get all of my foam from Mike Smith Racing but I am not sure if he still sell foam or not. You might reach out to TM Racing Tires or find Mike Smith on the IMDRA facebook forum. Good luck.
You speak the truth, Mel. They might be out of your everyday life, but that doesn't mean that you don't still care about their wellbeing. I got your heartfelt message clearly.
@nickcervantes2159 to be honest, I am not really familiar with 1/5 scale. Contact Lance from Crucial RC for the best unbiased opinion. youtube.com/@crucialrc?si=nwrgBvat0Jgn1pVI
who is that at 5:18, is he on Facebook, and what's his setup compared to the other 1/4 scale guys? I'm mainly a 1/10 foam guy but that violence could pursued me to get a 1/4 scale!
Yes Sir. We are having fun. I am learning right along side of him. We are definitely proud of him. One day the goal will be for me to crew chief my nitro funny car and he will be the driver.
Melvin I want you to know I appreciate this video of you and your son. You teaching him the right way to race. It brings back old memories when we first met in North Carolina me Kevin and big Wil bring our kids down to North Carolina Racing. I thank you very much for this video it brought back old Great memories keep up the great work you & your so are doing.., love you, brother Butchie..
Thanks for the info!! Im looking for a 9mm throughput bore carburetor. Particularly a Novarossi or Nova engines one. Are there any available? How about OS- which ones are 9mm? Its for speed runs.
The steel teeth portion of the gear is glued to the aluminum hub with JB Weld. The aluminum hub slips over the axle and set screwed to a flat spot on the axle. Hope this is clear.
Thank you, Sir! I'm having a hard time getting the 7 Blade Trailer Plug to go in. I have to work at it 15 minutes or more! I may try this. First, however, I want to check my truck's receptacle since the plug came with the new trailer, so it should be good.
The hobby today we all share and hope to grow it for other people. Give us those numbers man. It ain’t gonna hurt nobody Only make others nitro drag experience better. 👊😎
I found me a place to test. I wasted parts, money, and time away from family and friends to find those numbers while someone else was eating potato chips and watching TV. No thanks.
@@melcapone54 Awwee that’s to bad you feel that way dude. We aren’t all trolls and freeloaders bud Some of us do just the opposite and will give the shirt off our backs at the drop of a hat. It’s all good bro just do what makes you happy I have been doing my best for years and years now working to help other people learn the tricks and tips to help them make a great hobby experience. One day you just might start doing it to 👊☺️
Always impressed when I watch your videos .great info. I drag race but not nitro so I need this because I'm going to sell my modded dr10 and get a nitro no prep car because I'm running nitro mostly anyways..put me down for a pipe once u start crankin them out💪🏿
First off it is probably your fuel that has gummed up inside the engine. I would try heating the block up and try to stick something through the exhaust port that wouldn't melt fast but wouldn't damage the piston and sleeve while rotating the flywheel. I would wear heavy-duty welding gloves. They also make sleeve removal tools but I have never used one. I have heard of people soaking the block in wd 40 but I wouldn't let it come in contact with orings or the silicone. WD 40 will attack certain rubber and silicone.
We run 55% in funny car, top fuel, prostock, and promod. Personally I only run funny car and I only run Byron Fuels Drag Strip blend that is no longer available. However you may be able to find some leftovers. Once I run out I will start mixing my own.
Too close and you will risk damaging the engine by crashing into the head button. Too close can also lead to too much heat and detonation, which is power loss. Too much clearance will decrease compression which could potentially lead to power loss but no potential damage to the engine.
@melcapone54 we do a lot of street/ no prep racing in NC.. But want to get into the prep racing like u guys @ the Rock. I want to build a direct drive small block, but I have to find the people who make the chassis
The most easiest and fastest way is just use some solder, bend it in an L-shape, put it though the plug hole and turn the engine around. The squeezed piece of solder measured is your gap. From there you can add or remove the right amount of shims to your wished gap.
