The Twin21 is my second major project after the scratch-built Proto1 speed car.  After the ultimate speed car project was finished, it was time to go for the shear power and noise of nitro.  Of course this had to be more insane and over the top than the Proto1.  Time to beef up some drivetrains and pump the nitro!
