no sorry wellsy, can only get the Nitro fueled ones. Don't forget that the fuel is mostly Alcohol mixed with Nitro which is why you can get 2.5hp from a 3.5cc Engine.

A coupe fo years ago I found a website where these guys made a remote controlled full size car. it was insane! they would drive it out of the desert flats near Vegas from memory. Wellsy, that twin engine jobby would do hellish burnouts, you just need to rig up some brakes on the front wheels.

Yeah a mate of mine actually busted the front drive shaft so he just took it out whilst he was waiting on parts and it did great burnouts, you put it out on dirt and its uncontrollable, but thats the fun of it. Here is a video of the Smartech version which I used to sell and it was only a .15 engine with single speed box: http://www.plaig.com.au/vid1_all.avi

I am pretty sure I can get the Smartech Travellor, I will find out of my supplier how much for one, I am sure it will be less than $1600, I am willing to bet it will be less than $1000 but I'll let you know as soon as I get a quote.

Smartech Travellor, at most places that I have seen is @1200 with no R/C gear or servor, I believe the 1/4 scale servos are around $150, total would almost equal the HPI buggy, HPI comes RTR

No problems, my latest shipment is due in early next week so I will get in contact with the people who have shown interest. If ya think the buggy in the video is good you should see one of these in action, they go nuts on dirt and easily break into doughnuts on the bitchy aswell. Here's a video of an acme Condor Pro which is what the atomic is based on but they stopped producing them and now only make the Atomic ones which are even faster: www.plaig.com.au/condor_1.avi (http://www.plaig.com.au/condor_1.avi) (4.9Mb) www.plaig.com.au/condor_2.avi (http://www.plaig.com.au/condor_2.avi) (14.1Mb) Enjoy!
