You guys ever seen the nitro powered rc cars. I used to have a 4x4 truck one that would do well over 50mph. I raced my friends blown 98 SVT Cobra and spanked it all the way until I hit its top speed. I've decided to get this model http://www.hpiracing.com/graphics/new/ta/ta7.jpg . Its the notorious Trans AM WS6 my favorite car. Then I'm going to add some power to it using a supercharger kit that they make for them ( Its crazy how small you can engineer motors. Heres the link to the rc car superchargers http://www.rbinnovations.com/ ! One of those is twin supecharged and it did 101mph! Once I get it all fixed up I'm going to take it to the track just for laughs and see what it will run. Yuo can also buy intercoolers for your supercharged engines just have to fab one up. Its cool, after I supercharge it most claim to have about 3-4 hp, thats amazing for those little engines. Just wanted to share my little hobby, they are very addicting!

My brother in law has several of those those Nitro powered rc cars. They are a blast play with.

Awesome! I think somebody here has some RC cars. I'd like one someday but my current toy costs enough already.

I, at one time was in to RC cars, electric, but always wanted nitro. I still have two home built monster trucks - tube frame and all, a Hummer , S10 baja, and a rail drag. They were fun at the time , but got bord with them.
