Re: New from C3...not

Very nice engines, but I won't be getting them. And yes, i think the what is it game is nice-but sometimes the anticipation turns to a let down for some-happy easter

Re: New from C3...not

I am pleased to see the release of the Palm Beach Gardens E-1 and I will buy one only because it is near my home and I see these awesome PBG rigs often.

But C3 seems to be cutting corners. As with mostly all South Florida engines, the front tires are very wide in order to deal with the soft terrain. This is what gives them that bad-ass look. From the release photos by C3 the tires are way too thin.

Also, the lime color does not appear correct. But it seems they got the rotoray right.

Below is a link to the actual E-1 in action...
