    Top video as always. Just a warning in handling radiator coolant. It has a common base chemical called ethylene glycol, which is highly toxic and can damage the kidneys even if swallowed in small amounts. Ethylene glycol can be absorbed in minimal amounts from skin contact or inhalation, however it is most toxic when ingested. Keep up the great content. Your videos are very interesting and educational.

      4.8 motor is excellent and can make good power, but they have a severe drinking problem, so I prefer the old TD42.

      Red has the longest wavelength, the shortest frequency, and the lowest energy. To appear as red, it has to absorb more wavelength, and this causes a significant fade in the color. Red paint needs UV additives, i was a Painter. But i first noticed this in fishing lures as Red coloured lures totally lose their colour at about 7 meters. Same for Red fish they look silver to white in clear water until they get closer to the surface then magically turn red.
