balive it or not a lot of these have small Zenoah two stroke motors about 28cc pull or electric start you can buy them water or air cooled they are used in boats and 1/4 scale car racing you can get clutches gearboxes brakes on the cars are hydrolic discs , it looks like it has an oil smoke unit that works of a hot element in baby oil then you turn on a fan, they are very big in Germany and some parts are avalable to build some models now

Pretty slick, I have a 1/6 ankle buster weed wacker powered dune buggy here is their current selection It does scare people when it is coming at you. Does about 35mph or better, and a local guy broke somebodies ankle when he hit them after loosing control and turning it to his other left!  :doh:
