That is indeed interesting.  I had no idea there was such a hobby.  Thanks for sharing.

Interesting and I had no idea this existed either. After the first half of the video I was thinking they needed a longer track and many made it to the end. Things changed in the latter part of the video though and most stalled out before the finish line. Interesting also that there was a turbine powered one in there as well!!  Thanks for sharing the video.

I was thinking the same thing as Whiskey, Britnell drivetrain & a couple of Steves's blown engines & tube chassis.  :ThumbsUp:

Team Hog could always use one of these in the coral.

That thing is WICKED!!  Looks like they need a better arresting barrier at the end of the run though! At those speeds I am surprised they even survive. Great video none the less.
