Posters are looking for a 'run' video but even if it doesn't, it's way cool. I would never run it even if it did run.

How much are those engines? The running vid sure sounds neat.

Yea, must be a real challenge to "drive".....be a shame to put it in the weeds, or worse.....just firing it up on the bench would work for me....

Nahh it’s crap. It’d be much better if it was electric.
