Kind of odd. The T58 isn't a "jet" engine it is a turbo shaft engine. It was used in helicopters.
I wonder if they removed the power turbine or if they are just full baloney.

toyjunkies.com bought it the first time. I too wonder how the thrust gets from the turbine to the wheels.

And why it looks like it has a compact spare (maybe it's just a black steel rim) on the right rear.
