Don't forget the nelson .15 powered mustangs!


The fastest of all of the 1/12 scale racers was the Sileto that we made with a Nelson .15 RE engine. It was a handful to get started with the baldder tank and all and it ran through the fuel so fast it was not viable as a racer for 10 laps. We could only get 8 laps at best. With a 4 minute lauch window and 2 pace laps, we would run out of fuel on lap 8 or 9 if i remeber correctly. Of corse we also lapped the feild twice in those laps but if you cant finish what good is all that speed.
