That even impressed me!

Okay, fellas. Look, I'm the first to admit I've got some engines that under the right circumstances get as silly as a nitro engine can possibly get. Real shit. One thing you should know is I have a warped sense of humor. By that I don't mind telling those who are reading this: 'don't go by my videos' when judging their peak performance,

Over the past two years, I have purposely scaled back footage of what my engines do, which is rip ass unlike any I've seen. This is real--should I lie about what I see? I'm also the first to admit that it surprises the hell out of me, but it is what it is.

One reason I've scaled back the 'wicked nasty' footage, is in hopes that someone would doubt my claims. Then, I go for the knockout, by showing my engines in what I typically see.

All I can say is: PLEASE DON'T BELIEVE ME. ;-) I'm simply waiting for the prime opportunity to say, 'Oh yeah?' and then unleash what I view on an almost daily basis.

Said differently, I put out just enough to solicit interest, but to a man, I assure there have been only a few times I've published how freaking nasty my engines get. Bragging? Quite the opposite. I'm setting the bar low in hopes one of these FLBs feel the need to flex muscle in whatever lighting they might have caught in a bottle...at which point I truly lay it down to end any and all conversations with respect to which "approach" is more advantageous".

Now, I'll preface this by saying my initial comparison is based on YT videos. Then one day I noticed my OS25 XZ started turning some heads at the track. Then I noticed my clocked p5, then my Roma...and well pretty soon I might not be able to drive them around the track...but I was obvious on multiple occasions I had the nastiest engine--and soon I was helping those who helped me tune, and it was the pleasure of a lifetime because they went that extra mile in helping me maintain the high bar I have for these things.,

I am a huge fan of Neil Peart, whom for all intents and purposes is known along with Buddy Rich to be the most talented percussionist over the past 50 years. I remember as a kid reading where Neal wrote about how he realizes the skill-set he has.  More importantly he has the realization there is someone---or some people--perhaps from an African tripe that have invented and employed beats which have not been employed in the Western world..If they were, the percussion ensamble would be so complex many would struggle to fully appreciate it. As an 18 year old blaring Rush in his room, you can appreciate how I was like "Yeah man. Neal is really deep, man." Ha ha

But he was. Real shit,

Today, I watched my Tamiya 801XT "hover" with its Clocked Novarossi 28-5. I was running an Alpha 2081 (uhm...we have a match, party people). I was wheeling the Truggy on demand, I wheelied it the length of the field we were on....multiple times, I have much of this on a video coming out called "A Day with the Tamiya 801XT". Every now and then I sit back, and think Deeeeeeyaaaaaam! The last time I thought that in this hobby was when my D8T did the nastiest 20 laps in the history of Truggies. I swear had I published it to Hot Bodies, it would have been there poster vid with respect to attrition.  But it was not fully stock so I kept that footage to myself. I will soon unleash that as I literally laughed out loud with respect to how durable this things can be if you make them like that.

And, uh...I make them like that.

Short Version: I don't profess to be the best at any of this, and have bent over backward to show rather than jibber-jabber. I get--and respect--the fact that so many of you "get it"., ;-) So as to show my gratitude, I'm fixing to unleash some shit that I am confident ALL will appreciate. Just a bunch of footage of nitro rc vehicles going fast and hard at all times. I like it. And if you are in to that kind of stuff, I have a feeling you will too.
