Well, I might be biased but this guy is the best. His turn around is fast and he's always available but what's equally important is that his engines are fast! I was prepping for the ISC speed meet last year and got in touch with Adam, looking for as much power as I could get for the Small Block class. He spent some time with me and set me up with a JLR Red Dot .12 and that little motor was screamin' at Rockingham Dragway. I won the class, setting the record at 78.69mph and beating a .28 powered Schumaker factory car. It was just by .05 mph, but we beat him!

There was more in the car but it was a one day event and I had another car I was running so didn't have time to swap the gearing. This year we're returning to the ISC meet (this time in Fontana, CA) with a much more aero body and an ABMods O.S.18, this biggest engine allowed in the class. I am confident of breaking our present speed record, just don't know by how much.

We're also going to be trying to raise the overall nitro record of 93.66. It's a twin ABMods Picco Evo2 P9R powered streamliner, weighing only 6.5 pounds. It's geared for 125mph but I'll be happy with anything over 110. It will be an ISC world record and I don't believe there is a credible example of anything higher than about 103. If so, please let me know.

Testing this weekend with the small block car. It'll be lower gearing, trying to sneak up on it's limit.

I'm confident that on November 15th, ABMods will hold the crown of the world's fastest RC car engines.
