Honestly seeing how much went into getting just this little jet engine started and how serious it is I’m very happy to see mullet the way it is now and not a jet car.

[@thenamesPRINDLE]

Well said, very much agree.

[@rileymannion5301]

Yeah especially with the crash of Shockwave the jet truck it just seemed a little too dangerous

[@adammizell6227]

Absolutely

[@troy-from-cjrc]

No one was happier than me after the jet engine idea was scraped and I was told to remove the jet engine from the Mullet, I actually got a little sleep at night again. I was never really comfortable with the plan out of the gate but it worked out good in the end.

[@au1317]

I think I'm quite the opposite with the way the afterburner hits on this thing, mullet would have been a fricken sight to see. I guess I'm just biased having seen the jet cars line up at my local drag strip when I was a very young kid. This isn't to say I'm not stoked as hell to see mullet every time he makes a rip down the strip
