Kinda long video with machine porn, V8 porn, R/C porn..... it sounds pissed off

It’s cool but you crash that thing one time and it’d be a nightmare to repair. And gas R/C is dead with modern lipo batteries and brushless motors. I have a Losi super Baja Rey that would smoke that thing.

👍 You have a soulless car, I have had several R/C cars gas and electric and I understand how to repair them. Awesome that you have an off the shelf car that anyone can buy😉

That’s my point.
off the shelf makes it easy to repair. I’ve had both myself and Being capable of repairing is not the issue. Most of us are capable of repairing them. It’s not exactly rocket science. But having the availability of parts that you can run down to the local store and grab to get you back in the game vs trying to repair a one off or limited supply.

You missed the point of the video, I never said it was the fastest or the easiest to work on. It's a hand made custom built 1 off R/C car🤷. The really talented guy "built" a badass R/C truck

Dude. I didn’t bash it. I just offered my own opinion and insight to it. Sorry?
Read your post again. You posted info about electric that is not a secret and is well known, you posted your car will smoke it but at no point did you say anything about the amount of talent and craftsmanship there is in the builder and the fact that he actually drives it. Those mini V8 engines have been around for 40yrs (I first saw the Connelly on Home Improvement in 1990ish) but no one has been willing to put it in an R/C car and actually wring it out instead of putting it on a shelf. You missed the point of the video.
