Joking aside the induction roar is pretty loud and sounds great once it's revving hard

Gotta say, building a hybrid was never on my radar till I saw the late "and I think great" nickfubars blue hybrid and his builds inspired me to have a go at building one myself.
Unfortunately i never met Nick but what an inspiratoin
