"DrMayf"(Snip. . .)I wonder how they estimated the power? Or whatever it was
they was smoking....

 

It looks like their monoprop consumption is about 1 liter per second of 70%
H2O2! I'm no chemist but I'll suggest the BTUs from that decomposition are
equivalent to 1500 HP. Agree with others though; the tiny axel & sprocket
could never take 1500HP. But then driving through go-cart tires .hmmm!
