3 speed diesel efficiency
Does anyone know what sort of mileage a 3 speed diesel engine from a generator would get powering a 1/2 scale panzer tank at 20mph?

This kid is good. After seeing the pedal car incident, I'm almost surprised the cops have been so kind to him.

3 cylinder diesel

SWEET!

If your going to get poor MPG's do it in style!

If you wanted to green it up, run it on WVO.
