Anyone ever see this?

Just looking on youtube and came across this, does anyone know what they use as a setup? Ive never seen anything like that for a puller. Sorry if this is a repost.

Think it may be those Allison turbines, not 100% sure. Thats how my S480 sounds like :woott::woott:

Title says Turbine Wreck

They are turbine engines. Being a turbine it has an output shaft like a piston engine. Couple the output shaft to a transmission.

Similar to a turbo prop airplane or a jet helicopter just uses tires instead of propeller.

your 480 is just slightly smaller


I just thought it was an interesting idea for a sled puller, seems like it would be a small class if any.

Those are, or atleast most comingly old Allisons.

There was one at the pull we went to last weekend that had 3 turbine engines on it, but it didn't wreck

Looks like it goes about as fast as you down the 1/4 mile also. Your trap speed might be a little higher but I think he has you off the line.

The pistons don't look that bad . . .

ive seen that garndiner sled before and it needs a disclaimer on the side of it... "warning will cause involuntary erection!" That things is just crazy, well all those turbine powered sleds are.
