Thanks guys, Well it started as a reg nitro crusher until I saw an article way back someone made a twin engine USA-1 and mounted the fuel tank on the rear shock tower, and he was using the cheaper O.S .21 RF I believe I try to find that old mag but no luck, anyways that's how I came up with mine and kind of design it differently. I worked part time at Blue Max hobbies in Ventura county for a few years in the early nineties with my brother who got me into this hobby, My 1st car was the RC10 edinger until I hit a basketball post and it was history anyways that's how I got my hugh collection LOL me and my brother worked the cash register/ placed orders and worked on customers cars etc. 1st week was the only week I got paid in cash after that it was I'll take this buggy, radio, helicopter etc..and I always hopped up all my toys to the max lol. We got everything at his cost so there was plus working there, All the good ol day's are gone missed the old gang, and the guys at the track we had a blast!

Left engine ran a few tanks already. Heat cycling one cools while the other one runs.

Still a long ways to go not even a half gallon between the both of them. Awesome fuel!
