evssv Posted September 7, 2016 Author Share Posted September 7, 2016 I thk its the best executed jet rc I've ever seen ..looks factory fresh Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oh How Original Posted September 7, 2016 Share Posted September 7, 2016 Apart from the jet engine, I like that. Typically I hate these BMW Mini things, but that's actually finished very well indeed, doesn't look like a cheap toy like the stock ones do. Nice job, whoever built it.

atom3624 Posted September 7, 2016 Share Posted September 7, 2016 Need to see a running video. That's an amazing build. Tim-lapse build video would be nice to see as well. I'm guessing close to 8-10k - $ or £ its a lot!! Al. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RC4WD fan Posted September 7, 2016 Share Posted September 7, 2016 That flap on top is that an air brake or for something else? looks stupendous though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RCbutcher Posted September 7, 2016 Share Posted September 7, 2016 They look amazing sound mental but the videos I've seen wasn't that impressive. Nor this rc but converted fgs. The best video was a usa built ford mustang FG onroad. But it just made noise and smoke mainly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

babylon Posted September 7, 2016 Share Posted September 7, 2016 Another lovely Rc jet car that will never turn a wheel in anger, This forum is littered with them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Arif Posted September 9, 2016 Share Posted September 9, 2016 1) Certainly, stunningly & beautifully executed 2) That brass tube running to the exhaust outflow is the Exhaust Gas Temp sensor - a key part of its internal start-up & running telemetry 3) You'll never see it driven in anger in real life, because of certain limitations - the start-up cycle will use up half of that fuel, & then once running, it'll likely flame out upon acceleration, as the little fuel left gets thrown to the back of the tank. This is unless it has some clever baffles built in 4) I'm not sure that the internals would put up with the heat of any notable run-time - it goes to about 500/600°C, which I'm not sure the shell is rated to! That chrome tube has to have a gap between the nozzle & where it starts - it's not pushed on or over at all; Even that exit-aperture in the body might struggle not to melt if running for 10mins or more I'm working on a video for mine - ugly as sin, but functional as hell (Maverick Blackout) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nitroholic Posted September 9, 2016 Share Posted September 9, 2016 Does absolutely nothing for me. There are people in the world with enough money to do this. I already knew that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arif Posted September 9, 2016 Share Posted September 9, 2016 For me, and especially on-paper - it's an amazing combination. You have arguably one of the most respected RC car platforms on the planet (is my conclusion), converted to work with a form of propulsion that even to this day is essentially the most advanced combustion-based mechanical form of propulsion that mankind has invented, full stop. I see rockets as more 'devices' rather than machines, cos no moving parts. Jet engines have taken the traditional stages of combustion (suck-squeeze-bang-blow) and made them function axially - it's actually quite crazy. I'm totally with Evssv on this - in that even on a bench, these things are utterly fascinating to watch. Putting it on a vehicle, gives us just one more excuse to run them, without people thinking we're totally bonkers. This mini's engine will idle at about 50,000 rpm, and at full throttle will be about 160,000 rpm or more. From an engineering standpoint alone - it's one of the pinnacles of engineering feats!

Arif Posted September 9, 2016 Share Posted September 9, 2016 For those interested, that black cap/nose thing is its starter motor. It'll spin the engine up to about 25,000/29,000rpm - whereafter the engine itself takes fully over ('fuel ramp'). That little glow-plug looking thing is exactly that, and has its own fuel supply - it vaporises the fuel for initial start-up. The fuel pipe going into the actual purple shroud is the main fuel supply that kicks in during fuel-ramp. It's all controlled by two main valves, which are in turn controlled by an ECU - called a FADEC - Full Authority Digital Engine Control. The latest Wren and Jetcat engines have all of this internalised - making for only one fuel supply line needed, a fully internal glow-plug, fully internal valves, fully internal EGT sensor, and brushless fuel pump and starter motor.

A Return Posted September 9, 2016 Share Posted September 9, 2016 If i had the money to do that, id do that, but the jet does nothing for me, id rather tune the nuts off a petrol engine for it. I do love shiney shelf builds tho, and id happily stick that on a shelf and stare at it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
