Turbine Truck!!!
Has anyone tried to mount a turbine plane engine on an RC car? If so post some pics. I'm currious to see how you did it and if it provides enough power.

RE: Turbine Truck!!!
i would guess the turbine had enough power, since even the smallest of turbines is used in like 15lb airplanes. Its not practical, but someones gonna do it.

The price on that is £1,445.96
Past that, I don't know anything else. I got about halfway through a turbine I was going to put on a plane, and then I found out the AMA rules boil down to "Don't even think about it", so it sits on the shelf. I may finish it later, I just got discouraged.
