Default RE: Nitro Rockcrawler?

Gonna need to do some homework here.....but as a collective, agaist the naysayers.....it can be done.......
They never said it couldn't be done. Just that the nature of the beast is not suited for scale rock crawling. They're not saying nay because they're mean, or because they want to see some project fail; they're merely pointing out that glow engines do not lend themselves to high-torque, low RPM work. It's not because they hate nitro...it's a matter of torque curves, and controllability, and RPMs. And practical limits like clutch-engagement, and cooling issues.
