Pretty cool thing about those that my small engines teacher was telling us. He was saying that "rice rockets" as he calls them, have to rev high to burn out, relying on their horsepower to make them spin. Kinda like a chain saw, you have to rev it high for it to cut wood, and keep it high, or it bogs down quickly. On muscle cars, you can burn out in lower rpm because the torque does it. Just thought that was kinda neat.

You think its a coincidence that they all sound like weed whackers?
