Do you think experimenting with rockets is more worth it?? You will build something that goes much faster and rockets are cheaper at least initially

[@ScottsCrazyBuilds]

I would imagine the availability of fuel for rockets is a bit of a problem! But I have not researched it before!

@@ScottsCrazyBuilds i was into turbine engines before rockets but the amount of thrust is so small and they are just complicated and expensive! I would suggest you watch tech ingredients playlist on solid and hybrid rockets... Obviously solids arent an option to strap on a kart because when you light them you off for the ride!! But maybe you can put solid rocket boosters to assist the launch of the turbine but definitely do go too crazy Other than that hybrid nitrous prrafin is the way but this is a bit more expensive

[@rocketman_mike]

how to do you control the fuel to the Afterburner? Do you use a solenoid in the fuel line and control fuel pump speed on the steering wheel? Not sure how to set mine up. My A/B has it's own fuel supply and pump

[@ScottsCrazyBuilds]

I have a small home built ECU that alters AB fuel pump speed based on the P2 pressure
