need some good advice!!!!

[b3buggydude05]

hey guys i need some good xpert advice on how i can im prove my motors rpm and torque and power without having good tools like a lathe or anything like a soldering gun or any speacial stuff? I already use f2000 comm drops and speedy drops and royal oil and motor spray on it. but wondering if there is anything else i can do for it!? ( green machine 3''pro'')
oh and also i have a trinity assembled 2400 race pack and i was wondering if i HAVE to discharge it? if i do ,, i have this old old kyosho charge/ discharger. but it doesnt have any charging capabilities but i think it can dishcharge beacause when i hooked up the batt. to it the meter started dropping like it was dischargin. but there was no power source connected to the charger like a charger to wall outlet or charger to car battery . is the discharger workin?
i knmow it is very very confusing soorrrry. thanx any way!

The best thing would be to buy a comm stick, and work with it for a while and buy a few little light bulbs and start solsering them together for a discharger. YOu should discharge cads

Yes, you are very confusing...

Anyway, to answer your question about the propulsion on nuclear rockets: No, it is not feasible for this time, for numerous reasons:

1. The availabilty of useable nuclear products is not widespread enough to make it financially attractive. The costs outweight the gains.

2. The safety of engineers and onboard equipment. The launching of the nuclear rocket presents other problems. The gases and radiation that escape during propulsion, namely U-238 and U-239, are extremely dangerous and could kill anyone within a 10-mile radius of the launch site.
On the rocket itself, we can not carry astronauts, obviously. The instruments that NASA currently has cannot withstand the high-G forces and radiation that are possible with a nuclear propulsion system.

3. NASA's "better, faster, cheaper" policy does not lend itself to nuclear propulsion. The costs of a proprietary system will reach in excess of five times the price of all of the Apollo missions combined. Government funding is not avaiable.


So, nuclear propulsion is a novel idea, but it's not worth it. If it the funding was available, the gains that would occur would far from offset the costs. I guess our next hope is solar sails.

Hope this helps!


P.S.: (I hope I read the question right :D )

B3BuggyDude05,

There aren't many good alternatives for a comm lathe. Look for a buddy at your track, or your HLS, or your track shop for someone who can turn your comm, you can change your brushes yourself. You will see a big difference.

ok ummmm....
outsider and obi, what the heck are you guys talking about??? nnuclearic and atom crap. im just asking what can i do for my motor that will increase performance and if i should discharge my batteries...... thanx to the other guys though and to obi and outsider for trying to answer my question in english!!!!!!

Dude, we're just pulling your chain. :D

[Obi112]

Oh, sorry... I guess I did read your post wrong...


You can discharge your batteries if you want. Personally, I use the 10 amp discharge on my Intellipeak. But, if you don't have a discharger, just run your car until it slows down, and they should be fine.

Dude, he was asking about why underground neutrino detectors only detect one third of the predicted electron neutrinos emmitted by the sun. The answer is that there are 3 kinds of neutrinos, the electron neutrino, muon neutrino, and tauon neutrino. It was first thought that neutrino's were massless but now physicists have theorized that neutrino's most likely have between 10 and 20eV of mass and change into electron, muon, and tauon neutrinos on their way to earth.

But don't worry, a neutrino can pass through billions of miles of lead before interacting with a nucleus of an atom. So your batteries should be OK. Hope this helps.

To keep that stock motor fast, find a buddy with a lathe, and have it turned every 8-12 runs. Be sure to install new brushes each time. May not be the answer you're looking for but there's no substitute for doing it right. Otherwise a comm stick/motor spray is about the best you're gonna do.

Nicads should be fully discharged each time before charging them back up. I race so when I finish my heat I dump the leftover capacity with something like this: http://www.nascart.com/bd.htm (minus the flasher) "Fully discharged" means about 5.0 to 5.5 volts for a 6 cell pack. When they reach this point I quickly disconnect the discharger. (Radio Shack sells cheap voltmeters that work fine this purpose)
