Nic's stuff is all electric but Ziggys is all nitro!!! He has a crazy 3 engine 2-speed 4 wheel drive landspeed attemp vehicle. If he can get rid of the gremlins he estimates 150mph.

I would have to see the gearing but I cant see 150 on that 3 motor car. In the end he still has to develope massive RPM at the wheels to get the speed. It would be very interesting to watch.

His final gear ratio is close to 1-1 I think it is really a tall final gear ratio. At half throttle he has been clocked at 80mph . He had some radio range issues that day so he could not do a full course run. He fixed his radio problem I can't want to see how fst he goes on his next run.

That radio range thing is going to get a lot of people. I have been able to hit 80 plus in around 70 feet with my electrics then rolling 100 in around 120. The problem I am having is keeping the car on the ground. I am working on a venturi under the car based on Bernoulli's principals. I hope this works I am getting tired of replacing the chassis after a flight 10 feet into the air. Well good luck to him. It is really a cool looking car.

surely a set of tuned pipes would make A LOT of difference to the performance of that beast, but then again the open pipes do look good

the wing in the middle should help with the downforce but I think your going to need an airdam up front to counteract the rear wing because it wont take much air getting under it to send it flying around 150mph. Love the look tho
