So you find a nitro engine RC car in the trash, what do you do? Get it running again and bolt it to a pencil sharpener. Duh!

Had youtube existed then....

If he linked the throttle and brake to one rod, he wouldn't have to engage the throttle and disengage the brake in two steps.

Hmm now the question is an old Savage motor or just jump straight to a lipo brushless setup.... Hmmm

Cool to see, I cringe for the clutch.
