Barn,

There could be some slot car activities at the RIAM before too long, so you might get an opportunity to visit before too long... who knows. :)


WHAT! Tell me more when you can!

Yes you could... you actually could have torque monsters, 4-cylinder 2-liter engines with huge turbo boost, running at only 2500 rpm and easily pushing over 1000 ft/lbs or torque!
Gear them tall! :laugh2:



I once took a ride in a steam powered car (a Doble) and asked the driver about the transmission.... with steam power there is no trans.... it's all torque and you control the engine by altering the valve timing. It's a real stump puller...
