I'm planning to use the thrust. Yeah, it won't be as efficient, but it will be COOL. And I can add an afterburner for some interesting effects. Seemed to work on Junkyard Wars well enough. A dual turbojet kart would probably move pretty well with around 50 LBS of thrust.

The other challenge in using mechanical means to extract the torque is that there is no way in hell I can machine parts well enough to withstand 130,000+ RPM without blowing up and killing everyone around. I wish I had a machine shop, but alas, it is one thing I am lacking.
