hi

Nitrous oxide injection and supercharging are not the same thing. To my knowledge neither do anything helpful to nitro engines. Though I have heard of some really well tuned nitrous injection systems working.

I am sure the weight of the system gets rid of any kind of performance advantages.

I've seen one or 2 REALLLLLLLY well tuned and custom made nitrous systems that work really well on 1/5 gassers. But the ones you can buy arent like that. These people spent a long time fine tuning the design exactly for their engine.

And that was with a gas engine I am assuming (some were around 23cc).. Not a tiny Nitro Engine.

Yeah, these were all 30.5cc engines in FGs or Bajas.

Yup, I thought it was something like that. Probably the best place for a Nitrous system to work in an R/C (besides a full size car).

I don't really think it will mess it up.. It wouldn't really help IMO. If you search you can get lots of answers.
