I agree with using a small block 18tz as an option for useable power. I picked up one for my MTX-3. I just wanted some parking lot terror engine. Internally its the same as the 18tm that many loved to run in the Revo monster truck. Plenty of usable low end and mid range. When put in a 4 lb touring car you would have torque to spare. I wont know about top end till spring comes around.
Solara - note the upperdecks in my photos - both the carbon decks used the 960 laydown servo linkage for the throttle and the chassis had mounts for a laydown steering servo. These were the prototypes for that Carbon 835 above. I bought some spares and a 7-port nova .15 off the guy and he threw in the chassis pieces since I mentioned I wanted to convert to laydown steering. The rear of his 720 had blade style anti-rolls like the fronts which were mounted behind the rear bulkhead to the rear lower arms ( something I would like to try ). Great guy to deal with.
