When I was young I got tired of the short runtimes of my electric truck and wanted a nitro truck really really bad, but couldn't afford one. I did have a nitro plane though, so I bolted the engine with prop to the front of my electric truck lol. It worked well but sucked having no brakes.

Yikes![X(] At least with the Frog based contraption I built, I could reverse the prop to slow down - took a while though. I still have the video up on youtube from that little experiment, if anyone's interested: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CXbPjz8Mtf4

make sure you have plenty of room for over-run, then.

FWIW, somebody on here had an EDF powered car maybe a year ago? IIRC, it was on a 1/12 scale pan car chassis. They might have had a solution for brakes, might be worth a search.
