Kind of like sticking a double barrell shotgun muzzle first into the mud...huh? Oh well, it was worth a try. [8D]

No, mine is still on the E market, never sold one before, I will probably sell four or five more. They are a riot though. I just wish the parts source was as good as the Savage. I ran across that video and it reminded me of Revo's low rpm growl.... just had to share.

LOL. It sounded pretty good at idle, but not so good when he was driving it. Those things must suck back the nitro eh Bud?

A gallon a day enough appetite for you? They like the fuel and they do not make big power either. Bud

It sounds like it puts out the rpm's of an antique tractor too!

At 23,500 that would be a very tightly wound antique tractor! Ever look up the specs for a Caterpillar SIXTY? Maximum engne rpm is something like 600.....840 cubic inches and a whopping 65 horsepower. It took a man to start one.... [link=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zeEKR7UHECc]8^)[/link] if you want to try to run that antique tractor 23,500... I want to watch from a distance.

I think that EK4 sounds about like a 5.9 on a CEN pipe. [8D] Kind of cool....

OK, so I was exaggerating a little!

It was pretty unusual and I had to tie it to a Savage somehow.... [8D] The EK4 forum has been dead for a long time!
