X 1/9, MR2, 914-6 and Fox

[Mark R]

LOL!

I once worked on a 914-4 that was converted to a modified 350.  It was crazy
fast in a straight line.  the owner made a comment like "now it has 7 (or
was it 8?) times the torque of the original motor."

WOW.

Makes dropping a MAC-1 into my 4k seem like a waste...  ;-)
