    No they're not using 3 rotors, they're both 13B engines. And what's wrong with the FC?

    ^^ Yeah, I drew a frame of a man running on each fan blade. That is him running at idle

    I can't afford the car, and am stuck with a built motor just sitting waiting for a shell.... this is what I want - R100, RX3, or RX4. Unfortunately, all of them are expensive now....

    OMG I want that widebody kit on the blue car for my FC now! (only cut the rear grill thing that ovelaps the turn signal a tad to let more light through, and paint it flat black)

    ^^ Yeah, I drew a frame of a man running on each fan blade. That is him running at idle
