Hello everyone
I’m as new as you could be to the RC world. All I’ve got is a cheap $80 drifter that I’m not truly competent with. I love wrenching and steampunk sorta machinery and I got to thinking about building an rc car that has a front-mounted nitro engine large enough to poke out of the hood (think about dom’s car from the later fast n furious movies).
Stylistically I’d want to use a nitro engine made for planes due to size and shape of the head/cylinder/heat sink.
I’d also want to ensure a clutch system that can be controlled…not a centrifugal system.
I’m not sure how you’d go about building from scratch a drivetrain and chassis for this idea that I have, which is where any and all help would be appreciated.
I’m aware of the impractical nature of this build…it’s just for fun and to see if I can do it.

I want my final product to look like this picHello everyone
