Default RE: Nitro Rock Crawlers Only

Guys, I'm thinking the turbine is a bad idea for a few reasons. #1 is noise. ever been around an RC turbine? They aren't quiet. Second is the exhaust. its really really hot, point it down and it scorches the rocks, starts fires. point it up and eventually a person WILL get burned by it, plus it will have a tendency to push the truck away from whatever direction its pointed so that will make things tough. And third, have you even seen a turbine plane crash? Big fire. These things can malfunction, especially if they happen to roll down a big hill.... Boom.... Just run the hydrolics off a big gas engine.
