RE: Real Monster
you run through the fuel at 10x the rate; so it evens out. 700cc fuel tank heh.
too big for me. if I have to slow down to 5mph and use the full street width to complete a Uturn... whats the point?
now if I lived on the beach or desert or anywhere with large flat dirt; different story.

RE: Real Monster
I get 45min's of run time on that tank! No where near 10x the rate you said. I spend around $3.00 a Gal. You spend somewhere between $20.00 & & $30.00 Gal.[:@], Plus you have to go to a hobbie shop to get it! I go around the cornor!, Anyway to each his own![8D]

RE: Real Monster
I have heard of some using race fuel; 115octane from drag strips. mixing that with oil.
still maybe only 5$, but I hear it gets quite the performance(based on quarterscale nascar onroad type stuff)

RE: Real Monster
[8D] Most of them are the Zenoah Engine's G260RC We all asked for it and now it is here.This is the all new G260RC straight fromm the factory with 25.4cc and 3.6HP. This engine has lightened flywheel, large intake and exhaust as well as a 4 transfer port design that has been enlarged from the original big bore setup. If you want awesome power this is the engine you want. Engine comes without air filter and exhaust. Will fit Goped models: Sport,Liquimatic,X-Ped,Super Xped,Bigfoot,Super Bigfoot,Go Quad, and Super Go Quad. PS: Add the K&N air filter & the ProJet Pipe, & you can't keep the frount end down with the stock gearing!

RE: Real Monster
I am going to get in 1/5 scale as soon as they have a reasonable priced 4wd. Sure there is the FG MT for ~ $1000, and you can get a conversion kit but they are $1000. Somebody somewhere sometime will have a 4wd gasser for <1,500......... Maybe with HPI having success they will introduce a 4wd MT in the distant future........ hopefully shaft drive. I believe there are some chain drive ones out there but are high maintenance.
