Seems to have more grunt then the other gas J5 we have, exactly what we wanted.
Some nic-nacs left to tie up, a roll cage to build, gas tank to make, hydrualics to hook up and a blade/drag needs to be installed on the rear.
Will post vids of both J5's when I can.
What was wrong with the gas motor? Nothing.

Haha! Its actually kinda quick. The vid is really of it just above idle. I'd wager its good for around 50kph, I know the other one really moves in 4th or at least it feels fast.
