@ 0:57 JOHN CENA?

@420koldest That's Rob. He's the one who made these.

just wondering why would u mount a starter motor if u are trying to save weight because it is a drag car so u want it to go fast?

[teedermcdribble]

@pengashwebb0121 That's a good point. I supppose it was just to make it work. The battery was left off because of weight. It was neat to watch it go. The starter doesn't have to stay on there but it works when it is.

what metal did u use for the chasis?

[teedermcdribble]

@MsPowerade123 The frame is solid rectangular aluminum rod that we shaped on the bender. The bottom is an aluminum plate that is tig welded to the frame. The wheels are lathed out of solid 3" aluminum pucks. The rear end casing is aluminum and so is the engine mount. Thanks for the comment.

that really looks epic.

obviously it will need an exhaust, and to get rid of that transparent effect of paint..u put silver paint behind.

@crawlbat89 Someone asked me about buying Rob's green brushless car the other day. He said he would sell that one for $500. I'm not sure how much he would want for building another nitro car like the 57. It's a different setup and has a few more parts than the brushless one. I can ask him, but you should expect to pay at least $500 for a custom rc like this one. Please let me know if you are still interested. Thanks for the comment. Cal

How much would your friend charge to make one of these?
