Can a drill work and be relatively practical when its motor is swapped for an RC nitro engine? Judging by the video, it seems the answer is yes. Of course it adds a few extra hassles — learning to tune the drill, clutch maintenance, spark plug changes and always carrying a bottle of nitro.
In short, it's a cool curiosity and that's about it. Here's the video showing how the build works and the fabrication process.
