Default water injection

has anybody heard of water injection being used successfully on rc motors.
I have been in the high performance car field for a long time and have found water injection to be beneficial in the search for more horsepower.

I don't think such a system would be worth it in r/c. Atleast not on the scale most guys do it. Think of the size engines people are using. That and isn't water injection controlled like fuel injection? I mean, r/c engines arn't fuel injected yet. Atleast not for 99.99% of the case.

the water injection that i have used in the past relies on engine vaccum to draw the water though a small jet and mixes the water vapor with the air fuel mix creating a cooler denser fuel mix. can't see why it wouldn't work but gains may be very small just thought someone else may have tried this

It is often used with extreme boost pressures to reduce chamber temps.

Guys - Zenoahs are as low tech as they come - you want performance - get it ported, lightened, and add a pipe. Beyond that is likely beyond the capabilities of a zenoah.
