Is that an engine sticking out the back? Expanding metal with rapidly cooling substance can destroy an engine. He should have at least wared the head in alfoil.

That truck looks electric to me, I just can't see the engine, maybe my eyes are failing, I have had an eye twitch all day. :/

Maybe it is. I just noticed the battery. I wonder what that dark coloured thing on the tray is.

I wonder if he gets a lot of oversteer or understeer due to the front wheel being bigger than the rear. Maybe the front gets more grip because the snow makes them wider. :p

yeah... i wonder if he had to advance the timing on his motor to make up for the extra weight on the car.

Maybe I'm wrong but I thought advancing timing increases revs (and heat) while decreasing timing increases torque.
