Yeah my XXX-NT can whoop that thing. And my XXX-NT barely runs. Cool concept though, mabey that will put an end to a $30 gallon of nitro!

Sadly, I actually like my loud, abnoxious, inefficient, clumsy, overly polluting nitro mill! :)

Mazda have been working on the technology for ages, hydrogen and the rotary engine are actually the perfect pair. When I did a research project on alternative fuels back in High school, hydrogen was not viable in a piston engine. Seems BMW have done thier homework and now it is :)

Engine looks very much like an OS 4 stroke.

I can see it now. One car T bones another at the end of the straight, and a big fireball rises above the track.

It says it can run at 80 km/h thays close to 50 mp/h but 25 min. on equivilent to 300 metric liters of fuel is poor milage. Nice first attempt, but i'd like to see fuel cell technology come to rc as well.
