In my efforts to kill this engine I've started to design a few bits to slap a small charger on, this was the easy bit, but also I got it right on the first print, which is rare for me.

No idea what they are trying to achieve outside of the "trying to kill this engine" part. I'm just hoping for the video of what goes wrong. (Hopefully not one of someone getting injured)

I've a very small 2 lobe pump, it'll pump extra air into the engine, make extra power and hopefully some nice noises.

Cheap engines make for fun toys, I'm surpized I haven't kill it so far anyway.
