diesel?

And burning diesel fuel needs a hot temp plug. not sure a engine that small could contain the heat.

Diesels only use glow plugs to warm the cylinders, and actually the newer diesels use grid heater in the intakes instead of glow plugs. The high compression is what ignites the fuel.

Inline what races you plan to hit next season? I'll be at all of the division 1 NHRDA races, a few of the division 6 races (really long drive for you), and possibly some of the division 2 races. I'll be jumping back and forth between helping run the races and pit crew... hopefully our truck will make a whole season this year. We just started the tear down process... lots of work to get it ready for next season.

gonna try to hit all the NADM races, got the TS race already booked and possibly going to try and hit some division 1 races as well. i have seen the conely engines and such and just thought it would be cool to have a scaled diesel but doesnt look good. i understand when most people stay a nitro is esentially a diesel, cuase it is just on different fuel, i understand that, trust me i am a diesel ENTHUSIAST lol.

Cool, well if you hit any division 1 races I will see you there, I am the division 1 race coordinator so I get to yell at stupid people, like the dude in edmonton who showed up an hour after the races started and still wanted to race or get his money back...

I don't know if any of you will be interested or not, but a friend I started a Diesel website (Dodge/Cummins mostly), and you are more than welcomed to come check it out. It is locked down right now so I can write some efficient anti-spamming code for the forums, but I at least want you to know the site is there. We plan on making it a very large site for everything Diesel.

this guy makes diesel conversions for nitro engines.

RC V8



found here = http://www.conleyprecision.com/609.htm


I'd like to see somebody put one in a tuber.

[Stallion1967]

you give me $6k to buy that motor and I will build a tuber around it for you

If I had $6k laying around my 1:1 Jeep would get alot of much needed love.

I seen a couple of videos with that V-8 in a monster trucks. They are absolutely bad a$$ and sound killer

Something like this

Its not diesel but its cool none the less

[DonsATV]

OMG!!! That sounds F-n bada$$. I need a better job!!!

[rocresq]

Yep thats the one! He's probably got more into that than my 1:1 85 toy......I want to see the video when he smashes it into a curb

[DonsATV]

Yeah that motor alone cost more than I paid for my 1:1 YJ.

Hey you going to make it to Fallon this weekend? I'll be there, then Indy next weekend, still not sure on Billings yet...

On the traxxas forum somebody converted a traxxas 3.3 nitro motor to run on diesel with parts from David Diesel (which idk anything about) But it was supposed to have some mad torque.

[Chadworkz]

Got a link to that?

I kno cause the guy had to change out alot of the components to run diesel. The engine needed a stronger more resistant rod and piston and such to stand the heat and pressure. It needed a heavier flywheel along with other parts that I can't remember.
