This Supercharged, 1/4 Scale Willys Will Blow You Away [VIDEO]

Wow, now this is one over-the-top build. The body is from TotRods, the tube frame is entirely custom, and the wheels and tires are go-kart parts. The 200cc, wet-sump go-kart engine gets a boost (literally) from a Roots blower, and a set of Magura hydraulic mountain-bike brakes do the stopping. A custom-machined rear axle with HPI Baja diff was spec’d at first, but replaced with an industrial drive before even running the car after it was clear the fat slicks and blown engine were likely to detonate the diff. Lots more to look at in the videos, and oh man does this thing sound good. We’ve reached out to builder NG-Motorsports, hopefully we’ll get a full build article in RC Car Actionsoon.
