    Truly amazing builds, you re a true artisan of your craft, and it’s great to finally see one of these model V8 engines driving at more than a snails pace, I’ve watch so many other videos with guys building cars with these engines and it all looks fantastic until they drive it and there is loads of noise and smoke but the thing just crawls along. Whatever your secret is, keep it up, you are onto something!!!!

    We should race. I've been building 1/4 home made. Sheet metal. I've got a Lamborghini that is nitro and I have a dodge challenger that is electric. I really like my electric. I mostly like working with sheet metal. Hmm. We should share our stories.

    What does one of these cost?

    • @TheMiniCar
      @TheMiniCar  2 года назад +2

      Depends upon what parts a person already owns. The engines range between $4K to $12K, the diffs go from $300 - $700. I made only 60 chassis’s to accommodate 6 model years, so 10 specific C2 and C3 models for each model year. The complete DIY “kit”, without engine, is $18K. Fully functional RC quarter scale cars are a particularly niche hobby.

    Where’s the motor sourced from?

    • @TheMiniCar
      @TheMiniCar  3 года назад +1

      The Conley’s are no longer produced and are usually reserved as shelf queens or running models on test stands. However, the first engine in this prototype was an original Conley V8 and I ran it because that’s what it was meant to do. It was a first generation V8, meaning it had a built up crankshaft. The model weighs 61 pounds, so I knew a 30 plus year old engine, without a solid crank, was not going to be a scorcher. It was questionable as to whether the crank would be able to withstand the stress. I ran it and it worked fine for what it is. I switched it out for an Australian V8 Conley Clone with a solid crank. Gary is the builder and he sells them on eBay as well. gurk26@optusnet.com.
