A truly "green" machine

Post by SofaKing »

Not sure if this has been posted before or not but I was clearing out some bookmarks and ran across this. It's not going to win any races but it's still pretty cool 8)

Looked like a surprisingly smooth power source... and finally something to do with all these pesky beer tabs! :mrgreen:

It's been discussed on here before but I don't feel like looking for the thread(s). :P Even though it's slow, the technology behind it is the cool part. It's on par with the Tamiya Solar Eagle.

Taking the 1:10 scale into consideration, it's actually not slow at all...200 mph is pretty acceptable for any supercar these days. 8)
