Turbine power

Looking at eddie weeks project i have decided to try one of these cars out. I drew up an idea to make it the wheel drivin and an idea to be just thrust that will have front a rear brakes so i can spool up the turbine and then release the brakes to get it moving faster. Only question i got is where you get these motors and would 2 be too many?

Put 3 engines... what the hell... No.. really... go here

http://jetcatusa.sitewavesonline.net/

Then engine I am using a P80 and its one of the smallest engines around.. 20 lbs of thrust...

Jetcat makes a P120.. P160.. and P200 with 50 lbs of thrust.... All autostart
from the transmiter.. $3000 - $5000

If you use a bigger turbine you can use a bigger turbo charger and get lots more
power..

New pics and a small video
