I am going to call :bsflag: on the bio desial.
It's also not really a hybrid. A hybrid uses the same electric motor that powers the car as a generator to recharge the batts when using the brakes or gas motor.
There is also no way to switch between gas and electric because the truck would have to be stoped to turn on or off the nitro.
Also that diff between the electric and nitro motors needs to have a locker instaled to alow it to run on just one motor at a time cause right now it is using both at once and that's worse for the enviroment than any other rc that uses one or the other.
Here is what needs to be done to make this work.
1)install a locker in the center diff drive that the motors power.
2)install a remote start on the nitro say from a losi 10t
3)come up with a remote shut off for the nitro
4)use a stick radio so you can run the nitro and electric on diffrent channals so you can use just one at a time
5)rig it to recharge the batts when using the nitro motor.
To do number 5 you will have to change to a brushed setup as I don't believe a brushless motor can be used as a generator.
