U can make somethin for them. I put these little fake nos look alike bottles on the fuel system, and it gave it more power. The best way to get more power is to port the motor, and put a little K&N filter on

I got a lil car like that but its not turbo charged.. lol you dont need to turbo charge them, they run of nitro methenol, and rev up to 24000rpm...

lol my little nitro car theoretically should go 100mph but i cant get it going past like 70 cause its out of range in 3 seconds.

if it's a turbo, then why is it on the intake side?

do u know how a turbo works? It doesn't matter where the intake is. If u notice, the tube from the intake to the silver piece(turbo), when the motor sucks air into the intake, it also goes through that tube into the turbo piece, creating more power. This works different on a real car though.

dam talk about a die hard fan and shit... i used to have one and i found out how expensive they can be... it was fun for like the week i had it and i couldnt afford replacing the parts so i sold mine

I cant drive alone side it lol, if you make the slightest movement on the controller the car looses control and flipped and crashes.. lol the steering is very sensative, well was until the car hit a curb at about 60mph...

My god be with you my belovid rc car... Rest in peace.

Switch to a PCM radio controller that way your range will be way better.

yes i know how a turbo werx. It's a fan type blade(s) on the exhuast that is used to cram more air into the intake of the engine, creating "boost"(measured in psi) that increases hp and torque. I said what i said because if that silver piece is the turbo, then it's on the intake side, which doesn't make any sense, because if it's taking power from the intake in order to boost pressure, you would be loosing efficiency and should actually make less hp/torque. the reason a turbo werx is because it's using the exhaust, which is now completely(almost) defunct from the engine and will no longer effect it's performance. Please, correct me if i'm wrong.

Well, seeing that there are gears right below the intake chamber, it might very well be a supercharger.

FYI, on the pic it's:

Air Filter--->intake/compression chamber-->intercooler--->what apparently should lead to intake of the engine.
