And your neighbors complain about your gasser, imagine what they would think of this firing up on a Saturday morning! 150db of ear splitting, headache inducing squeal!



The wheelbase on the Marder is so short the jet just spins it around.

I think I would prefer a 23cc any day! I would like to find that "ninja" body though.

It is pretty wild that - been on the forum before sometime last year I think.

Is this built by the same guy who's recently built and sold an FG jet-powered tractor / horse?

That was fantastic. I forget how much it finally went for on Ebay, I think during this last December.

Al.
 
Looks like Marjet. Was an interesting project but not very usable.

its always cool to see how far you can push something. this was a great example of WAY too Far. lol great project, but no, not very useable except maybe in a 330 ft drag.
 
My fg starts on the 3rd pull, everytime! I don't even need an air tank, or a $1000 digital tach, or ear plugs or anything... Just pull the handle! He should have left it stock, at least it moved under it's own power then!

Looks like a big waste of cash!
 
To each his own... I wouldn't give him twenty bucks for that contraption... Now put that motor in a jet where it belongs, then he would have something. I still wouldn't give anything for it, but I would like to see it fly.
 
im sure with some refinement it would get sorted out. if it were me id be lowering it as much as possible, some soft slicks for the race truck, and play with the toe to keep the thing stable. if that doesn't work, re-fabricate the engine mount and try pointing it ever so slightly up at the back, this should help keep the back end planted.

its a sweet project, i see in the youtube comments that he sold it though.
