There are a bunch of alternatives on Amazon. Some come with electric motors. I built one with a twelve-year-old grandson. It was a fun project, and he learned a lot about motors.
But this one takes gasoline and runs like an engine. Pretty cool.

No, it doesn’t. The ones that actually run on gas cost thousands of dollars. This is a cheap plastic knock off that pirates some of the photos from the ”real” working models. Sorry to disappoint

Not saying you’re wrong or that it’s good quality, but they mention a few times it uses CNC machined metal parts. Sure, if they’re stealing photos they can steal marketing copy (or lie). You have a link to a real one?

Edit: Thanks @rdk5 for a link (below)!

It is crazy if they are bluntly lying. It even has coolant, and can be installed in a small RC vehicle to power it.

Sorry to be the bearer of bad news but it's all a scam and it's even on Amazon as well!!! STAY AWAY ACTUAL KITS OF THE QUALITY SHOWN ARE ACTUALLY WELL OVER A 1000 DOLLARS!
DO SEARCHES AND YOU WILL BE SHOCKED AT THE REVIEWS EVEN ON AMAZON AND WE CAN'T BELIEVE AMAZON HAS NOT REMOVED IT YET!!
