Now that is cool.

I bet it would be a pain when your glow plugs burn out...

Those guys have way more money than I would be willing to spend on an RC.

Those things don't run on nitro fuel, do they? The engine sounds like it is running at too low of RPMs to be burning nitro.

Na, those little things were selling for $250,000US.
But the place that were making them got burned down, and so did all the molds.

*Really falling out of chair*

I would rather buy six Corvettes for that amount of money! That is a crazy sick out-of-control amount of money!

No, they were selling for around $8000+, some engines I believe were $16,000 - but nowhere near your claimed $250,000.

I've seen those engines before. They've been around since the mid to late 80's. Awesome stuff.
