let me see if I can teach an old dog new tricks 
My fancy turbo fans came from a dremel tool bit and some mold putty. After mixing parts A & B, I laid it out flat and pushed the dremel tool bit into it. You have about 20 minutes until it hardens. Once it hardens, use resin to make a casting. The mold putty was bought at hobby lobby, it works good for small stuff like this.
Jeff, that's an old picture, last year? Tricky Rick won a championship with a NOS and Blower car and tried to get another one using a turbo. If I recall, he ended up switching back to NOS. |

Looks like a good idea, could just put a couple of Turbo inputs like those in the grille or have an exposed motor with all the plumbing + a couple of 88mm. I have yet to
try anything with resin.
When I was racing the Turbos were coming on strong. I remember having a half car lead at 1/2 track when the other guys Turbos spooled up and
he drove right around me. I needed a button for another stage of nitrous to come on, I had 3, but I would probably have hit the wall as that chassis could not handle any more power.
I considered switching to Turbos but the 15G cost for a first class system stopped me.

Bill, seen a car or someone you would like to race? Match racers are a call out type race. Just post what chassis or type of car you have. Photos are always good.
Post it up and see who takes your challenge or throw a challenge out to someone. Any chassis can be used. Rules can be sorted out between the two racers.
It's great fun, give it a try.
