Here is a video of the first proper outside run of my Hummer. I am not applying full throttle yet as I am still breaking it in. You Tube Link to videoThe engine starts well in a couple of pulls and it ran through the whole tank without stalling. Going from the length of video I had to crop that was about 15-20 minutes! It has a great sized fuel tank for the size of the engine.  Finished 3D Printer, RB7, Hummer, Skyrider drone & Combat tank collection http://www.model-space.com/gb/

Cool video
Good to see you removed a side rear door glass to allow for air cooling, though during running-in I would have also left the roof off. The cooler the engine runs during the running-in phase, the better.
Well done

What a cool vid. Boy! The hummer really moves doesn't it! But as Del-Boy said as well as leaf collecting I think you should also see about fitting a mower at the back as well, I'm sure the council would want to pay you for mowing the grass as well  But the best bit was the dogs chasing your model it was hilarious. First there was one, then two, I was thinking any moment now and there will be a pack chasing the hummer. I want to see what happens when you tie a steak to the back and run about with that! A great video and a great model. Thanks for sharing!
