I'll bet the wheelies go insane as the fuel tank goes dry, what a ballast! It is well protected there! [8D] Thanks for the link..... I could not read much of the captions though... like none of it! BB

nitro crawler......doupt it, plus look at the COG on that thing, once it gets on the rocks it won't perform too well.

However i do LOVE that truck. Something about a solid axle monster that hits a soft spot with me.

It would be even better if HPI made a Savage with a lay down engine,instead of the Wheely king.

Nitro Rock Racing exists but nitro crawlers wouldn't be practical unless you have a coolent setup present. Since nitro engines are air cooled (the kind you would find in a land based rc) you would have to run the engine rich during crawling so it doesn't overheat.

Would you guess an 18 for an engine? I wonder how far that one will Wheelie? It is an interesting design, one that would be fun to play with. BB
