Hi there,

Here a few pictures of my recent project - An FG Jet Truck powered by a Jetcat P80 Turbine producing 22lbs Thrust @ 125,000rpm!

I have loads more pictures of the build if anyone is interested

Thanks for looking

hi there, thank you for your interest, It should'nt be too long now, just finishing off programming the ECU. I have opted for a single channel operation rather than using a 3 position aux switch for the start up and shut down procedure - Another few hours and I should be good to go for the first fire up!

Hi there, the tyres are actually cut slicks but you can get "rain" treaded tyres for the 1:5 FG Trucks/Touring cars
