im sure some of you have seen this before and even though it is nitro it is the coolest rc i have ever seen. http://www.thorbob.com/projects__work_in_progress.htm it technically is brushless i mean when is the last time you have seen a nitro engine with brushes :027:

Not to mention that you just can't go to your LHS to pick up a replacment part...

Otherwise, it IS a really nice truck. If it were mine, I think it would just be a shelf queen.

Well it depends on what part you break. Some parts you could pick up.
Others you would have to remake.

MAN!!! had forgotten all about thorbob's 2 x 4 stroke engine'd project...thanks for the link and the reminder dude!!!

its great to see that its all in one piece now....

i would run it if it were mine....very carefully...but i would run it!

it sure would scare the crap out of all the nitro heads at the local track!!!:026: whahahahaha....

i wouldn't even bother with the shell and run it as is!! like a car from one of the madmax movies!!!!
