Old used nitro engine?

Seriously, that's a tough one. Are those made of lexan?

Too bad there isn't a piece that goes over where the engine is that extends to the front, like a hood.

what it needs is a front Lay back Radiator to cover the front shock tower area from Metal to be supportive.

Too bad the guy that makes them doesn't give a second option like that in place of that engine.

Could always fiddle with some styrofoam to shape a front end?

i think Jakes done a killer job considering hes 16/17. i radiator with some support would be a killer thing. wonder how much it would cost to fab one up out of some aluminum or sheet metal.
