And I was just makin' fun of you, it's easy when you step right in it. So we're good on the NASCAR thing. As far as the governor thing goes, even a game of Russian roulette you have a 5 to 1 chance. Yet is the key word, if they do get through an actual grenading of a clone at high RPMs they'll be changing their drawers if they're lucky. If not it will be bandages they'll be changing. Them parts gotta go somewhere!:scared:
i saw my friend's 5hp Tec let go (was riding behind him). a chunk of rod went out the front of the case and landed a good 30'-40' from where it happened. it was still too hot to touch even after we spent a good 10 minutes looking for it.
if you remove/bypass/alter the governor you're playing with fire.

When you call alot of the places that sell clones they act like it's no big deal to buy a race preped ( no gov ) motor with out the supporting mods. I was told get a Honda flywheel for $20 if I wanted to keep my magnets from. They Acted like it's no big deal. Of course they are in the business of selling motors.
This site pops up in google right away. People will come here first to find info. I think you just got to treat each one like a newbe and give them the correct info. Let them know the dangers and what is required to support an over spun motor. Jumping on someone who dosent understand Is not going to help.
