The motor is a CMB RS45 7.5cc Modified by Dave Marles, 3 times world boat champion. 5.4hp at 29,500 rpm. The clutch is from an HPI 1/5th Baja and is geared for 140 mph. The current world IC open record is 103mph set by me with my 3 engined Kyosho Evolva called Alien. I am hoping to surpass that record by a considerable margin.

I'll be testing the car is a week so will let you know how it goes

Cheers

I had the car running today with a couple of low speed passes out infornt of the house. The car went OK but I'll have to wait to see how it goes on the track to be sure. I'll rebuild it and try again when the weather is dry

Cheers
