| mulitplex v2 servos
good digital servos very strong will take alot of beating. You have a good idea going but how about trying a chain saw driven large scale? It might be a little easier for you. You can do some slight mods to an existing rc car weld a bike sproket to get the chain to run it and throw on those servos i told you about(which by the way there digital, there just bad ass) and you got yourself a large scale. Just make sure that its not super heavy cause even with those servos it wont steer. But you can always make it into a dragster

| i alardey got a weedwaker engine, and i was thinking of a chain saw engine and just have a wooden dowal on a little kids bike rear tire. and again im using all wood and parts i find around the house. im gunna use traxxas survos and a reciver, because i know that i can switch the crystals and make it a blue one because my remote i have for the nitro pede i can use it in the gas car because i have 2 pairs of crystals. rite now i got the rear axle together and the front axle together. so what i have to do now is mount the engine, and add the electronics, and get the belt.

| wea a small piece of wood.when i put the engine in i will have a thin piece of meal. the first axle i had split, so i had to get another one. yea im trying to keep all the weight in the back so the steering survo can take to strain.
