Yeah ditch the racing motor, you don't want anything fast in a top heavy car like the Hummer. Another thing that helps RMs Hummer stay rubber side down is the weighted wheels. I picked up some scrap lead flashing from eBay, cut it into strips and taped it around the wheels so it fits under the tyres. It helps bring the centre of gravity down so he won't destroy all his bodywork detail in a rollover... and the way he drives he needs all the help he can get!
