Come on man, you can tell me. I tried saying "mayne wun" in a southern accent and it no worky for me. I don't watch any "karting channels" religiously enough to figure it out. Tell me in a PM?

Y'all are Grammar Nazis but since Muphry's Law exists, I will be watching everyone...

Muphry's Law. That fell flat because people thought it was Murphy's Law. In any event, it's really bad form to attack someone's grammar, especially here. Plenty of bad 'grammarists' on this forum but they never get sassed. We should shun the practice overall and instead be glad to have such engagement (discussion, making posts and replies) on this little old forum.

My two cents.

Oh forgot about this... Red Beard..

Tried to find the exact video where he says the engine could explode. He really enunciates "could", but still, he said it and I hung on those words.

Its not the only video where he eludes to the possibility.

Dont get me wrong, I have learned a ton from the guy and I dont fault anyone for being a 'little extra careful' when it comes to something that could kill someone. Especially when you consider who his main audience is. -Kids wanting to go extremely fast in something tiny.

Brad butler on Facebook had a flywheel explosion. Said this is why you get a billet one. So you don’t get hurt and destroy the coil mounts along with the entire engine. IMG_4080.pngIMG_4081.png

Neat. The blower shroud is off and the plastic fan is nowhere to be seen but otherwise the exploding flywheel only pertains to the magnet. Not exactly “Total Destruction” but I suppose the magnet letting loose and severing one leg of the magnetron/coil means total destruction of the ignition system however. Is there any video showing the moment of truth ?

Tell him to get the $26.00 10K RPM jungle store flywheel. :wai:
