Here's mine, nothing fancy. Have added a full ballrace kit and 18T motor.



My brother has a good collection including several cars and a helicopter which is proving really hard to fly

i would love a decent nitro car but just havnt got the money really but will hopefully get 1 sometime next year,i wouldnt mind fitting a bit bigger engine into it but its hardly got any space round the engine so wouldnt be worth the trouble,100mph thats going to be naughty,the motor in the electric car is a 12turn double wind,it can be adjusted for spped or endurance,im going to find some drift tyres for it and hav a play around with it out the front of my house

With a few aerodynamic mods, gearing and a more powerful battery.. will see 100mph quite easily.. and it will get there faster than a nitro car easily

Also should be good for 13-15second 1/4 passes

I used to have a Thunder Tiger TS4N but I was limited to where I could mess around with it. So I've now got this and this to play with instead.

Classic Tamiya's and they're nice and cheap.

It stands a far better chance than your fusion..

+++ check out the custom gearing from the engine.. + the extra torque of the .28 to pull it through the lower overall ratio in each gear.. it will easily see 100 on a long enough straight
