Students at work have one its ok if a bit ill fitting in places and the valve to spring retainer is a weak point yes it dropped a valve at max revs lol

what makes it turn round?

(i'm guessing it has an electric motor and not fuel based)


zzr1100rick2 - 24/10/08 at 06:17 AM

yes electric motor with real engine starting sound
and the spark plugs ( led ) flash in firing sequence

Wow - what a cool model. I fancy one to build with my young daughters. They seem to take an intersest in cars and DIY etc...... which is nice.
