Is that a GM Ecotec in there? I like those motors. Ever since I got bit by a "turbo 4 cylinder bug", after building a Ford 2300 (lima motor) with a Holset HY35 for my ex's foxbody, I became well impressed and aware of the "sleeper potential" of them... The ecotec is MILES better made/stronger than those old fords and I'd love to do one of them some day.. ...anyway, AWESOME bug!! I'm building a super detailed class 5 bug (except it's 1/10 scale... RC.. lol) and looking for references. Hope you don't mind me using a few ideas!? I REALLY like the way this this is built! VERY nice! You guys build the chassis/cage yourselves? ...also, If I came across this when it was for sale, I'd be interested! 🙂👍
Yes, our class 1 is more expensive to run than our class 5 was. Parts cost more and the additional horsepower wears parts out faster. Race fuel also adds up quickly. You do not need experience to enter a desert race.
We only ran two races with them. We filmed a couple RU-vid videos and taced the 1 car at Knolls. We are doing the Nevada Championship with VORRA and Legacy June 6th, this year. We’re hoping to get a second date, but haven’t figured out the race yet.
