Very nice! Those Toki slide carbs are in high demand, hard to find. Unique setup, I've never seen hex screws holding the carb on, always Phillips. Thanks for sharing this sweet engine. Side note, I have been contemplating wearing gloves myself..
Thanks for the note Todd and as always, I appreciate you and everyone for watchn' 💜I'm glad you enjoyed the vid - This side carb version a little unique. The parts and design is the same as the others but, the circular metal part that holds the ball stud is black in color on this one. Most all other sister engines/carb versions have a silver color version. Not a big thing but, it's a unique small difference that some folks may not have known/caught in the vid - I'm normally not a glove guy but, they do help to control the oil on the tear downs/build during the vids. They are nice to have
Very nice looking engine. love the black and the square lines on the crankcase. Those longer velocity stacks never made it. Now the venturi functions as sort of a velocity stack. Probably have this length for a scientific reason. Great vid again 👊
Thanks for taking the time to comment Kings 💯 - The Velocity stack idea was one of those ideas that attempted to help performance but, may have came out of the “snake oil” catalog lol. Honestly, not sure if this particular engine needed it but, it’s a cool feature As engine and carb design continued to advance throughout the years, items like the boost bottle and velocity stack weren’t really needed (would you agree?) Nonetheless, it makes for a great vintage talking point. Not everyone got to enjoy them during the day so, I’m happy to be able to share it with everyone now. As always, thank you for watchn’ 🩷
@@a2rci suppose those longer velocity stacks weren't needed to increase performance. The newer venturi's have a trompet shape. Unlike the older ones which were flat at the restriction diameter. From what i understand length has something to do with the rpm of the engine. It will work beter with forced air induction because the air accelerates. With just under pressure it doesn't do much other then smoothen the airflow like a trompet shape venturi. It sure is nice to talk and think about this. So thanks for sharing buddy👍👍

Late sorry. It is hard taking care of the kids work and hunting nitros. Therapy. I really enjoyed the video. Thank you very much.💯🥇🥇💪🏼👊🏻.👍always before play😊
That is a very very nice little engine, never seen velocity stack before! The boost port is huge with a very nice ramp and the exhasut is also ramped on the outside!
@@delawarepro3539 Congrats on the new engine! There aren't any direct drop in options for a 2 speed on that platform (that I am aware of). The Wr8 is based on the Nitro Bullet MT and as I understand it, there were not any 2 speed options for that also. - Now I have seen over the year people "making" a 2 speed from MT/MT2 2 speed trans but, it is not a direct fit. A lot of time the hobbyist "gets it to work" but, it is not pretty (in my opinion). - Also note that, those 2 speed transmission are not indented for off-road use. If you use them on surfaces other than the street, you have a higher likelihood of breaking something. Lastly, if you don't already have parts to work with, it will be tough to find them. - Now, you can also change clutch bells and there were some Spur gear options to help with either acceleration or top speed I hope that helps a bit. I appreciate you watchn' and for reaching out 💜
@@delawarepro3539 I personably have not converted one before so I don’t know for sure but, the part number for a potential option would be HPI A912. - I am not sure all of the items needed to make it work for the WR8 but, would be a fun project
@@tonysands2837 Not 100% sure but would need to have a blacked out pipe and carbon fiber on the chassis lol. - Maybe a Carbon Fiber Mongoose G4 build 🖤
Thanks awesome that you know some folks that run these engines ‼️ - This one is apart of the collection at the moment but, you never know when it may make it into a future build 😁 I appreciate you watchn’ 🩷
That’s awesome‼️ Finding any of them nowadays is tough so, to find two is great. - I’m glad I could shed some light on the engine for you Thanks for watchn’ 🩷
I guess in the physical world the velocity stack would more than likely work like a tunnel ram on like a V8 engine to be able to get that low end torque at wide open throttle and with a huge boost port that makes sense.
Hi Bill and thank you for taking the time to write 💯 - Yep, you are right! In the full scale world, intake runners that are longer and skinny, would help low end response with more air velocity. Where short fat ones allow for more air flow (with less resistance) and help top end performance - I am sure that is the exact theory behind nitro engine velocity stacks, like the one on this Team Infinity 512 I appreciate you and everyone for watchn’ 🩷

Nice Engine Bro !
Thanks for watchn’ Texas. 🩷
- This is an oldie but, goodie 😋
Thanks A2 another interesting engine. It’s so interesting how the engines share DNA with other makes and brands 👍
Agree SOS. When you have one company making engines for 12 other companies, it get interesting lol

Yes I really do always it great to expand my knowledge a little thanks man!

- Do you have an engine project going on right now?
@@a2rc just replaced/broke-in a new Nitro Star G3.0 for my WR8, looking to buy a two speed any suggestions?

- Defiantly an awesome vintage engine. Have you ran one before (or similar version)?
@@a2rci have a few traxxas and cheap nitros,they don't have cool engines like what you have,just love the sound they make when they are running right
Nice i know a few guys that run with infinity too bad those are not available..really good info bro
