Hybrid electric nitro 1/8th scale!

Damn, people, it was just a college project...give them a friggin' break!

If it was an assignment, they had to do it, and they may have chosen to work with an RC car because one/some/all of them were into RC cars. Plus, it could have been a college where money actually was an object, so they used an RC car instead of a real car because it's what they could afford.

I don't know how many of you have college degrees, or even went to college, but when these types of assignments come along, it's not usually about *real-world* use or production, it's only about proof of concept, which is exactly what this group of students and hybrid RC car did, they proved the concept.
