werd, car learning started with my father
i did notice one problem with their engine diagram, the crankshaft goes through the oil in the oil pan. that'd make it frothy and lead to problems pumping lubricant throughout the engine. but n00bs shouldn't worry about that.

well i started racing r/c cars at 12 and was sponsored by15, which i thank my dad for getting me there. racing and wrenching has been in my blood for generations, my grandfather raced ovals ( including dirt daytona ) before nascar was around. |

That'y why they put up windage trays, to prevent the oil splashing up on the crank and creating drag. |

Ohoh baffles are also great for when you hit those corners and make some lat-G's baby.

true, but if you have so much oil in your engine that your crank is dipping in it, you've got bigger problems on your hands.
