Two 1/5 scale rc cars with TURBINES! What you think!?

[Bennyboy1983]

Just finished building these two beautiful pieces of art!, both make a insane amount of power and I now need a runway :-)

What is everyone's thoughts?, been done before I know but as I built one a few years ago I missed the challenge and built another, and another!. Here's one! http://youtu.be/3pF1gGwPJNo

Can provide more info on request of anyone's interested, most people think I'm bonkers!

It sounds like nothing else!!!, worth seeing in the flesh!.

These are both thrust driven, and the blue one I've used quite a bit now and is totally useable!!, just fast..... The other I've oy just built so not really used it much, I'm going to be building another with a turboprop turbine and gear reduction running 4wd which will be fun I think. And thanks for the nice comments yeah it's a neat install. I built this last year on a push bike...... I bottled it at 86mph!.

It's still fun using the rc car mind!!!! Real fun. The jet bike got loads of attention mind. Here's the first ever video of it and just testing at 1/3 throttle!. http://youtu.be/qUuA_etuBDc

You'll need a lot of money and someone who knows how to build it! Plus if you crash you'll die!, well maybe anyway. Turbines are crazy they really are!!. Both mine were just under 2k each plus everything else on top but worth it when you here THIS....http://youtu.be/_2raNLSaHeU

Actually not so - those that know me will know that I have a large 5th-scale jet car also. I just set it to the safe maximum fun speed (40/50mph) for what I want to do, & use it the same as when it was a 2-stroke.

And these engines will put up with tumbles & bumps, no problems - they're not delicate, once built!

Indeed Arif! and yes I agree, growing friends with you and more jet buddies since building these beauty's!, talking about speed with these etc I've thought about stopping better..... Here is what I have fitted :-)
