Thanks everyone , the reason I ask is cause nitro is 37.99/gal at my LHS. unl. 87 octane is 1.86/gal in my area. just open to new fun ideas.

Here's why, the 23cc in a buggy rips a new one in a .25 truck, of course that's to be expected when they are both 2 strokes, and one is many times larger

I dunno why I waited so long to go gas, here's hoping hpi makes a gas savage
Man those gas engines sound awesome! Makes me want to start a new project too; but I need to finish my XSS and save money. It'd be cool to build a frankenstein gas MT out of already existing parts & custom made parts.. 8x Bigbores? rockout
@big worm
I don't know what you, or others from the forum have access to, but if you're serious about doing something like this I may be able to help out. I've got access to aluminum & other raw materials, steel, delrin, etc. Plus machinery like mills, lathes, whatever. I wouldn't charge anything besides shipping and raw material costs (might even be free materials depending on what I can find in our 'scraps' stock). I'd just need detailed drawings to machine something up (and the free time to do so of course).

to keep it small you would need to make the engine part of the frame, ie cut a savage into 3 parts, toss the middle, and mount the engine/transmission there
the engines are really big, bigger than the savage engine & transmission
I've not seen any 4wd kits for the 5b/5t yet either, all the parts on the 1/5 scale are quite a bit thicker/stronger
but nothing I've found jumps like a savage

if thats the case then you have never driven a thunder tiger st-1.... no matter how messed up the launch is it will level itself out in the air and land flat every time....
What does no mean.
If i had a 4.6 nitro , and a 4.6 gas.
Wich one would be more powerfull?
A nitro motor is a two stroke desil.
With mods to compresion and adding a ignition , you could in therory convert to gas.
Ive seen ignition being installed on 4 stroke nitro planes.

you can do it! i've seen it done for airplane nitros. i'll try looking for the magazine article. i would'nt mind doing it to my savage 4.6 but i think it's not as powerful as nitro and has a limit to the RPM. i've only seen it done on a four stroke though. what are your thoughts about it. cheaper fuel? longer engine life? less maintenance? let me know...
