Nice, what cab are you going to use?

Re: Nitro, why because I had the parts and I could.
 

Not bad. I expected it would be a lot faster. What kind of transmission are you running, Travis? Might make a cool pulling truck with that nitro engine.

Re: Nitro, why because I had the parts and I could.
 

Awesome job as usual Travis, very cool.

Re: Nitro, why because I had the parts and I could.
 

Well I am thinking it is going to need to be a Globe cab. Now to find a used one.:D

I am using an axial crawler trans and if I work the plumbing right for the stacks I can add a front powered axle as well.

Thanks Keith and I have another Nitro car in the works as well and it will be a multi engine.

This thing would sure draw some attention at Indy. If i richen it up good I may be able to give those smoke generators a run for their money.:D

Re: Nitro, why because I had the parts and I could.
 

Fricken awesome Travis!

Re: Nitro, why because I had the parts and I could.

Re: Nitro, why because I had the parts and I could.
 

Ok here are some update pics and a new video. It is a good thing having neighbors you get along with that have paved driveways. :D I made my new exhaust 1/2" copper from the manifold to the 3/4" copper exhaust stacks and crossover.
