@@robertlee4809 I think he/she may have been refering to the idea that a cold engine has more play... things slap/wear more when cold... Sure... you can't spin a bearing with one of these... but I've personally never been a fan of honking on a cold motor, and I've blown up my share of them...
Impressive! The dual overhead cam with dual quads was used a lot in drag racing. Just a thought as to what kind of chassis and body to put it in. I believe they only allowed 1 carburetor in the NASCAR version of this type of engine. If they did allow 2 carbs that would be another option. Keeping the body to the later 60's and 70's would keep it to the period when it was used Thank you for a great video
That motor would actually fit perfectly in my fresh new custom Rc Drag Boat Build I'm working on. Top fuel rc drag boats use blown big block v8 engines this would look so scale & completely insane single motor twin drive shafts.. thanks for sharing but I could never afford a work of art like this
Everyone is talking cars, meanwhile rc-cigarette-boat is the connaisseur's choice. I still have a 90cm boat that I built with dual electric motors from the ground up 25 years ago. Watching this is really tempting...
I’ve got the perfect thing to put that in; I bought a rc cooler truck that can bring you drinks and snacks with a remote controller. The thing has crappy power wheels motors and goes slower than molasses in the winter. This thing would be awesome to modify it and get those drinks to the family and myself so much faster! I need to get me one of these and make a modification video!
I have a Traxxas Bigfoot and I think the Toyan engine would look awesome mounted in that underneath like a real monster truck...and functional would be even better💯
I love Toyan engines, I have a Toyan 4-cylinder in my 1:8 Traction Hobby Founder. It's awesome. That V8 is a beast. I hope to be able to put a V8 in an RC crawler one day.
@@rcdriver Outstanding! You’ve made my day sir. I will look those up immediately. I assume it comes with some special tools to put it together. I have the tools to build a regular car engine, but I’m not sure I’ll have tools small enough. I can’t wait to look into it. I’ve seen people making scale engines as one off, one-hundred percent machined from brass stock that are pneumatic, but I knew that someday a scaled down V8 would go into an RC. It’s probably been a thing for awhile now, but I’m still running my Tenacity-T electric rig and I’ve been waiting for something really cool to sink my teeth into. Thank you for your reply. It is much appreciated. Keep building stuff!
that would be sick in the ryft! get rid of the stock trans and battery tray, use transfer case instead, you'd be able to scale install it and still show it off nicely without constantly opening up things for people to see
Hook it up to a lawn mower alternator and jerry rig it with a yeti 100w battery bank to have a gas powered mini generator. Something that would fit in a milk crate (in space) for camping.
Thank you for such a great video Greg. I'd wish there was touring car kit, maybe from Tamiya, which had front longtitudal engine location, driveshaft to the rear, solid rear axle and no drive ifs front. This engine, paired with some mustang body on such a chassis would be epic! There is so much diversity in RC cars world, but no one did this very common layout. It could be even modular with frontal motor: 2wd or 4wd, solid rear axle or independed rear axle.
@RcDriveOnline ok I am texting you with a question how much would you pay for a used Traxxas summit I am thinking about getting one for a snow plow project by the remote I can tell it's one of the first years so that would put it around 2008-2009-2010 I believe in 2011 or 12 got the newer remote they are asking 240 what's your opinion I know they haven't changed that much and it's still all original battery plugs I don't think the first years had the low voltage shut off for the LiPO batteries
There's a major difference between this and Conley - this is methanol only, and I suspect it's because they couldn't get the carb to atomize the gasoline correctly to reliably operate (especially above idle). Methanol is much more energy dense. However, methanol is very difficult to get without an industry license, and nitro fuel is quite expensive (and has additives I don't want going through a 4-stroke's carb). Pity...
wow i built a v8 model engine in the past, and while 1500$ is a steal, i don't see the point in buying something like this, at least assembled. if you were gonna build it yourself awesome or even assemble it yourself awesome. but damn the first thing i'd have to do is take that thing apart 😆
It’s cool for sure but with a $1500-$1700 price tag and not to mention the fab work needed to actually get it to fit in a truck? (Displaying it seems pointless to me) I think I’d just get a RTR Tmaxx and save the rest🥴 (or buy more RC🤣)
Im having throwbacks to Conley! If you only use it as display, or rc it, it needs to be in something. Even a large static model with a running v8 would be pretty cool.
I doubt something with that short of a stroke with those tiny pistons would have any useable amount of torque to move a go-kart or bike without some ridiculous gear ratio.
Was it hitting the 10k rpms? Did t sound like it. The problem is if you put that engine in a rc car.. ohh it's going to look really nice and coll. But you are gong to get no performance at all for the scale... a nice out of the box high end car is going to fly by it with stock settings.... but hey you have a nice rc kit camaro or mustang yould look awsome in the front engine bay!💁♂️👍
That is so incredible! If it weren’t almost $1500 I’d grab one and put it in a 5th scale camaro, but I can’t justify that price
I would say only $1500, that would not pay the for the parts is most places let alone the engineering labor and machining costs.
1,500 is actually not bad .look up Conley stinger , or Conley rc engines ,, $ 10,000 fore some !!! Supercharged
I wouldn't waste money on a camero either.
@@ohwell2790nah theres $10 in materials in that entire engine. Its not complicated if you know CAD/CAM.
I was wondering if it could be used as an emergency generator 5hp is 5 Amps and 700 Watts.
I am sure holding it wide open and revving it to the moon on cold starts is super good for the engine...
Destination F'd
It's nitro it's fine.
It doesn't matter...the fuel has oil in it and leaves a film on the cylinder between every start...won't hurt it

The neighbors always love it when hobby guys are breaking in a new mini engine.

Not dohc. Just single cam with pulley to imitate second cam.

yeah flip the headers so they exit the same direction but up high
Big-b this engine and build you speak of would get a ton of views

I still have a 90cm boat that I built with dual electric motors from the ground up 25 years ago.
Watching this is really tempting...
Totally deserves to be put on a RC car. Can't imagine the type of car/gear ratios/etc that would suit the engine more...
I was wondering how good it would go in a boat if it will go faster a lot of power or what
Would love to hear your input
@@markcarter6212 I have no idea! :) I have no experience in the matter. Never did nothing remotely related with that. Sorry. :p
Personally I would totally throw that in an RC car! That would be super cool to put in a scale muscle car or something!
This is what I thought too. It would be so amazing to see it in a car
JohnnyQ90 here on UA-cam did an insanely nice 1/5 scale RC build with it. Started a build at least. All custom one off stuff.
I think it would be cool in a rat rod that way you could see the big engine and it would be accessible to work on
Awesome, never seen so detailed micro engine...!

That thing Is sick! You gotta get one into an Axial SCX6 Honcho geared for rock crawling!
“I don’t need it…I don’t need it” This would be sweet in a g body
You send it to the moon
MINT‼️ except for the fact that it's got the Northstar V8 setup with the starter NIGHTMARE RIGHT THERE 🤣😂🤣😂👍💯👊
😂🤣

Very nice! I bet it will look cool on a 1/5, 1/6 scale rock bouncer.
It would probably just die. It's a model engine
@@44punisherable people use other Toyan engines in their RC cars.
@@44punisherableI've seen a build with the engine featured in this video in an RC drag boat and it goes pretty well.
CRAZY OVERPRICED
You build them cheaper please, and I will buy 10 of them from you. Thanks!
i choked on my monster at the kickstarter price
Hey you should probably hit up Donut Media. They have one of these and never managed to get it running. You could maybe help them out.
Drop that into your SCX6!
Now all I have to do is design and build a scale MGB to put it in! :-)
As soon as you said it came pre-assembled, I lost interest in buying one. I definitely will finish the video though because that is super cool!
Its offered it in kit form as well.

I was waiting for a leg out of bed, or a piston to fly out the head 😅, cool little motor, would love to see it in a boat or a little car

Woah! It's up to $1700 for that kit!

Sprint car , it's mounted in front and you could run the drive shaft right to direct drive axle.
Good for display and show only! : )
Bruh I need that! I want to put it in my lawnmower

Wow bud that is awesome
Try to put it in a scx6. It could be cool
Custom Nitro slash chassis 😎👍
Would be cool to see it in something. But does look cool on display to fire at will.
I’d like to see it installed in one of your R/C cars
4.2 hp on the bigger model,very cool!
Wow that is super cool
It would look sick in the axial ryft.
Clearly I think the idle screw needs adjusting maybe a tuneup 😂
It should go in a street drag car, muscle car style 🤘🍻🤘
I wanted to see it idle but you never showed it idling. Was it cutting out?
Very nice!!! Like button enabled algorithms agitated.
Ok who’s gonna be the one to put a turbo on it lol. Awesome video 👍
You
3:08 u wut m8?😂
You should build a dirt stock car for it like you see at your local dirt track
Holding full throttle on a brand new ABC engine. Yep that will be a display piece now LOL !
It wasn’t new. 🤦♂️ It was their display and test engine. It was run a lot before I got it.
Man I want one of those
I think the coolest thing you could do with that is power a drone with it.
They sell supercharged engines now too
Yo man you got one, build something up with it! I personally cannot afford it but wanna see what it can do!
super cool put it somthing forsure
They should put these in lawnmowers.
I’d love to put that into an RC car, slap a transmission to it and send it
It’s cool for sure but with a $1500-$1700 price tag and not to mention the fab work needed to actually get it to fit in a truck? (Displaying it seems pointless to me) I think I’d just get a RTR Tmaxx and save the rest🥴 (or buy more RC🤣)
Those are cool
I think Donut Media needs to get in touch with you.
I put a post in their video with a few possible solutions.
😀You can put it in a 1/8 scale sports car, lf it can fit it?🤔
Anybody complaining about the price should look up Conley v8 engines and compare the price
Darn actually wish this was a official engine
Is it flat-plane? Sounds like it, no cross-plane waffle. I’d put it in the Baja 5B!
it would be cool to see it in something.
Hello definitely put it in the XTR OR XMAXX OR BABY KRATON
I want a V10!
Really good engine. what type of fuel are using... how many fuel are required to run per hour? i hope you.. can you say?
Make a scale drifter! And then 3d print parts to make it look like an LS swap
It could look like a coyote 5.0 instead since it DOHC
I wonder if I can use this to power my bicycle.
if it's the size of a 5.7L V8 (displacement wise)
it would be making almost 900hp's without a turbo
That's just awesome!
That will look very cool on a rat rod if it can make it run or just to display the engine
🔵🔵🔵👍👍👍🙂🙂🙂🙂🔵🔵🔵
I need this ... Buy I not having money
i wanna put one in my rc plane
Yes please put in something
Im having throwbacks to Conley! If you only use it as display, or rc it, it needs to be in something. Even a large static model with a running v8 would be pretty cool.
See my comment above.
I would love to see one in a boat
I was kinda thinking that too. I have a big Crackerbox that needs an engine.
You wouldn't really need the water tank if you plumb it like a 1:1 speed boat
Nice 👍👍🙏😊
Would put it in a small custom go kart to go to the local store
I am supscribed
A 4 stroke shouldn't need oil in the fuel?
Please suggest what fuil, oil, and coolant I need to use for this kit?
Stick it in a rc 😁
I wanna put a mini v8 in a go kart
how is this 4 stroke when the fuel and oil are mixed? why are there glow plug on a 4 stroke my this is a diesel engine?
Stick it in a CEN F-450.
Considering this a a mostly a rc channel imagine if he attached one to a rc car
Need to but in the Traxxas desert racer!
The price OMG! 😢
Wayyy too big for a UDR. You might be able to shoehorn this thing thing into a Losi SBR 2.0. It might also fit in a SCX6.
Also it would be crazy slow at 12,500 rpm.
put it in the Super Baja Rey
if it's over 4 HP you gotta put it on a go-cart or a mini-bike
I doubt something with that short of a stroke with those tiny pistons would have any useable amount of torque to move a go-kart or bike without some ridiculous gear ratio.
What engine would go in a trophy truck rc
It's cool, but I'd rather have a miniature LS. :)
is it possible to put it into a regular rc truck?
I would put in a RC Airboat to race real boats 😂
Why didn't Donut Media check youtube? There are plenty of videos
Was it hitting the 10k rpms? Did t sound like it. The problem is if you put that engine in a rc car.. ohh it's going to look really nice and coll.

put it into an upgraded raminator
It can run on gasoline?
