All you need is wind, waterfall or solar cells. What will run out first - gasoline or sunshine?

I would really like to build up a 12v, 4BT or another OM617 vehicle just to have that one wire simplicity rig for anything could happen scenario.

Looks like a blast. I'd pass on the simulated engine noise and transmission "gear shifts", but overall I want one.
