Default RE: WANKEL ENGINE ON 1/8 RACER!!!!

G, I remember seeing that car a few years ago and I was just as amazed then as I still am now. If I can build a car like that, even if its not going go move at all and just be a shelf queen, I would. Just for the whole woooooow factor. I did a little research on that car back then and found that the owner was running a 37 tooth spur for second and at that time that was the smallest spur available. If you look at MiamiJatos new car and my car, its the same gear on there. Ofcourse now, Revo has smaller spurs but this was about 3 years ago.

I'm out of budget right now...but if you built something like that I would like to see it! I am a big wankel fan you know...and as i know they work at VERY high rpm...that means you might even make a new speed record with the right gearing...i dont think that would be a problem for you
