How to Install the 1/5th Scale Supercharger to an HPI Baja 5B 

That rubberband looked totally durable. This screams of amazing quality. Looks bulletproof!

I did this mod to my car and, man it roar down the street for a good 3 minutes and blew up. It blew up? Thats right, totally worth all my time and money. Will buy again!!!

It may not be as efficient as one desires, but it is nice engineering to admire for after all the place of some engines is in showcases as works of art.

Okay. Once and for all, here's the reason these "superchargers" _appear_ to work: The little engines in our RCs run at extremely high RPMs, and at high RPMs they are constantly suffocating. If the engine has a rotary intake valve built into the crankshaft, it doesn't stay open long enough for fresh air to fill the crankcase up to full atmospheric pressure; if it has a reed valve instead, the springiness of the steel reeds cause them to snap closed before the crankcase can be completely pressurized. And in both cases, the exhaust port in the cylinder wall doesn't stay uncovered for long enough for all the exhaust to get pushed out. Strapping a fan to the intake CAN help relieve this problem by reducing the vacuum in the intake, so there will be a little more pressure in the crankcase to scavenge and refill the combustion chamber when the transfer ports open. BUT HERE'S THE PROBLEM: There is already air outside the engine that is "pressurized" compared to the partial vacuum inside the crankcase at high RPM. That air "wants" to get into the engine, but the valves and ports are getting in the way. So if you just take a few hours to use a Dremel to improve the porting of the engine, YOU WILL GET THE EXACT SAME BENEFIT FOR FREE. In other words, if this product works for you, it works because you're lazy. I spent a few hours last week grinding and filing the ports on a crappy old nitro engine I have, and I increased its redline by 11%. That's a bigger improvement than you'll ever see with this product.

Myth Buster needs to be here!

Will this fit on my Honda?

Great video. Well done.

Will this super charger bolt up to a rovan Baja 5B with the 30.5cc engine ?

what air filter is that? I want a paper(dry) air filter for my 1:8 inferno

Can you make super chargers or turbos for mini bikes and go karts

There is one modification you didn't mention, the engine cover to fit the belt cover. Just playing not bad looks nice.

Can you do someting over ZENOAH 32cc acailable over losi 5ive-t 2.0? The filter is on the side so i dont think its gonna fit my rc 😥

does it works for honda gx35 cc engine??

can u use this with the RB Innovations Hyper-Charger Air Filter. would it all even fit in the car

May I install a supper charger on my FS 130R? Please say yes

Were i can find the guide to build it to 4 stroke=?

Any Intercooler for cooler air in the engine???

any documented dyno proof that it gives a gain of power ?

Can you please tell me where I can purchase a super charger like the one your showing

Hi there is it possible to have a supercharger for a gas power (26cc) boat working on "NO" clutch with "5" inch rails? and how much are these superchargers?. Thanks for your help Marc

Sorted vid matey very clear :))👍

Hey can you do a video of you guys testing this supercharger showing before and after?! And one for nitro engines too :) cheers!

If I send my Baja t you will you do do the install if I purchase your product?

1 question, what does it sound like, does it whine?

Van you do this with a yama buggy

If I have a 3 speed transmission on mine can I add this...

Were can I find the kit at ?

Will this fit on a rovan 45cc motor?

will this fit on my rovan 30.5?

Is this supercharger only for the buggies? Or do you have other super chargers for other RC trucks and cars and boats? Please comment back and let me know thank you very much for this video

I actually tried this. It kills the engine torque but gains higher rpms and I think it should have been designed in a way where the carb sits between the engine and the supercharger. Also the belt could not handle the pressure and I had to replace it 3 times in 10 days before I gave up.

this has to be a novelty. where are the dynamic results?

What's the belt made from? Polyurethane or something?

How much Power will it have with the supercharger?

Do you have a super charger for 29cc rovan baja

work on losi 5t?

Damn, little tiny superchargers. That's cool.

Does it come with the air cleaner

How much horsepower can be improved after install supercharged

Need one for the 4 shoe teflon clutch

Where did you get the super charger?

How much more power are getting

6-71 Detroit had the supercharger. . it gave the engine a smoother power band. . the 671 was a 2 stroke with exhaust valves

I have read and researched that HPI parts will work on a Rovan Baja. Is this true? I would love to be able to afford this here in Australia.

Wish I could cough up the cash for this looks like a nice kit and build quality.

I wonder what the next thing is we're going to do....

please tell me fast what is your recment

Hello. Where can I buy such a supercharger? Please help.

how much psi does this make?? and i know you "can" run forced induction on 2 strokes, its just very inefficient as the combustion/compression is only on the intake for such a short period of time your really only using a small fraction of the compressed air in the cylinder as the exhaust/intake over laps. but the intake/compression moment is there only for such a short period of time compared to the rest of the power cycle it does work just not as well as a 4 stroke engine

I wonder if there are any actual power gains with this on a 2 stroke as opposed to a 4 stroke.

If so what the link to your site

super charged super video :)

What kind of boost is this going to make? 1psi?

I would imagine that you'd want to set everything up as though it were a reed valve, because with the supercharger constantly pressurizing the crank case with air and fuel, you'd also want higher volume in the crank case to allow more air and fuel to be charged through the transfer ports.

Would be really cool if u can show us baja owners a vid on a baja running with the the super charger installed. A few runs back and forth somewhere would be awesome and thanks for the vid.0

what this prise

I would wonder if he uses Lock tight

I wonder how long that tiny Belt gonna hold?

what's the life expectancy of that belt???

You are owesome

Super chargers don't do anything on a 2 stroke engine except for make it run leaner

Looks great can i have the magic beans aswell lol

Forgot to add that forced induction can be used to reduce pumping losses, the miller cycle engine is one example of this, piston pumps are very inefficient, so using a turbo/blower to do some of the compressing makes the motor more volumetrically efficient. Look up the 2000ish Mazda Millenia S on wikipedia or here on YT.

I gotz a rubber band powered, plastic charger on my Civic. It blows the doors off Lambos n shit. 6" pistons... Plapinom sparkplugs, K&N air filter. Seriously.. RB is still ripping off the ignorant with this 2 stroke charger bullshit.

Yes, the Supercharger will work with the Hyper-Charger and it will fit in the car.

i wanted to see it go

Makes me want a Baja even more now. Gotta get me one. That's just Badass.

THATS COOL

the next thing... the next thing.... either way KOOL!

next thing you wanna do..

I'm surprised this company is still in business, Until you show actual dyno results in real time, I'll never be convinced.

Yes, it has a significant increase in hp, power varies depending on the engine and exhaust, and yes it is compatible with the OBR 36cc. If you need more information, feel free to give us a call at 315-451-4440

WHAT KIND THIS ENGINE IS? THANK YOU!

You can't really pump air into a 2 stroke? The exhaust and intake are not valve controlled and are both open on down stroke so any charge built up would just be lost out exhaust. The best is what's already well walked ground which is taking advantage of the pressure wave in the 2 banger exhaust.

I would buy one of these but they are priced WAY too high... I am going to have a go at making a 3D printed version I will let you know how I get on! 😉

Check the one in the description

Why you didnt wrote on the black cover “supercharger” lol😎

If this is really pushing more air into the engine you would have to jet up the carb or it will lean out and blow up asuming rc carbs have jets? Lol idk

Perfect way to run your engine lean

supercharger not work at 2 stroke

SHIT! I got it all together and then realized I forgot to use locktite! SHIT! :)

what's the next thing I wanna do after this video ends?

they do.. look at alot of the guys that race 2 stoke snowmobiles at the drag strip.. the serious guys all have superchargers on there sleds..

I just bought one from ebay i have to modified it

Check out our channel, we have a video of a dyno test with our 1/5th Scale Supercharger!

U think this is useless! I bought it for a nitro engine and ran really lean! So it fucked the engine up quick.. any dyno results!

Sir i am from India from where I can buy a rc car in Indian rupees

Is the supercharger made of plastic?

We actually do show that in this video: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-CPyeqZFORTk.html

Holy S--t!! This really works! I installed this in my OBR engine, and wow is all I can say. Where do people think that it will only work for 4 stroke? This thing is insane. Funny how people talk all this non-sense, but have never seen one in action. Guys, this really works, and will probably put 2 more horsepower out of your engine... it is very noticeable.

Check out this video where we dyno our 1/5th Scale Supercharger: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-3bi5h7Tf2BY.html

Going 2020 wheres the video?

how much 1/5th Scale Supercharger to an HPI Baja 5B ...

Useless and actually robs the engine of power. The extra power, "if" any is wasted having to spin the super charger, it adds drag to the engine. Plus the motor takes longer to reach peak rpm with the added drag and weight, A engine without this will reach peak rpm well before a engine with one, therefore making your rc car slower at reaching top speed and slower in acceleration. Lots of people showed up with these at local races a while back when they first came out and was a novelty and got beat badly. There is a reason that professional racers DONT use them. Not a single professional sponsored racer use them. Plus the simple fact that they dont provide dyno or any type of proof they actually work. They sell you on the wow factor of appearance, not practicality.

next thing you wanna do... lol

Link for sale

I see no weak links

Yes, it's a dramatic increase in horsepower.

Engine stress increased!!!!

This needs to be attached to my rse Would def make more fart power than horsepower lol Good way to burn some$$$
