I see those things on youtube all the time, has anyone ever seen a transmission for one of those? would be fun to put in a 1/25th scale.....Am I the only one that thinks like this???

i think they sell those engines as a kit.. i remember reading about them back in the late 80's. there was a company that was making radio controlled TF dragsters in that same scale that were made just for those engines. i think they hit "scale speeds" of around 500mph in a scale 1/4 mile...

Both of those videos have been posted here many times. Still cool to see it again though.
