1/4 Scale Grave Digger Part 2 with Conley V8

[xmoder23]

what did u use to make the chassis?

[rcWizzard]

To - @xmoder23

3/8" steel tubing, a Ridgid Bender, a sturdy vise and a Lincoln 175 Mig welder.

[FeelinGipper]

is it going to be a remote control truck?, I spotted the 1/10th rc truck on your desk so thats where my assumption is from

[rcWizzard]

To - @FeelinGipper

Yes.

Check out my other videos.

[bjdosen]

hay bro nice jobe im going to make one but lol im not that good at all that but i will try:)

[green66vw]

This is incredible.what time and patience and skill you have.Did you build from scratch?un fuckin real, serious?

[rcWizzard]

To - @green66vw

Yes, scratch built, other than the Engine. center Transfer Case and Drive shaft.

Thanks.

[akinorhan5]

cool nice mini engine

[cookie73942]

if you were to sell this how much would you sell it for?

[rcWizzard]

To - @cookie73942

25 to 30k.

[kwazhimself]

@rcWizzard i'll give u ten bucks

[justabec7]

@rcWizzard ur fucking crazy as shit. i could PAY somebody to do this better for half of that. fucking 30k ur nuts

[rcWizzard]

To - @justabec7

Lucky you. When will we see video's of it on Youtube???

[Metallocity]

@justabec7 would you have the same satisfaction of building it yourself though? and i can bet you probably don't have a job that can afford you to pay someone the price to build that thing.

[justabec7]

@Metallocity your right,i dont have a job. but im only 16, soo i dont need to. but if i wanted it, my dad would get it for me. im not gona pretend like im not some spoiled rich kid.

[Metallocity]

@justabec7 that's pretty sad. just gotta say have fun living out on your own when your 18. once your that age your parents don't need to spoil you anymore.

[justabec7]

@Metallocity its really not sad. My parents arnt rediculous, i dont drive to school in a lambo, and trust me, as for getting a job when im 18. lets just say im pretty well off.

[Metallocity]

@justabec7 not sad? just because you don't drive a lambo or anything still doesn't mean you will have any concept of money when your on your own. specially when you think your parents will blow 30,000 on some rc truck or something just cus you want it for whatever reason. have fun with reality kid... you honestly have no idea lol.

[sherco2011]

@rcWizzard 30k yes its is cool but really all you need is metal piping a and a welder to make the structure !

[rcWizzard]

To - @sherco2011

What about the rest of it?? :-)

[sherco2011]

@rcWizzard True 

[KeithWasHere1]

where do you get the Conley engines? and how much are they?

[rcWizzard]

To - @KeithWasHere1

Used from e-Bay for 1500 to 3000.

OR, New from ConleyPrecision. com

[mattq41]

sweet axles

[gnilrefues]

I do have one concern about the title. If this machine is truely 1/4 scale then the grave diver is this size of a smart car. Did you mean to say 1/40 scale.

[rcWizzard]

To - @gnilrefues

Check out part 11B and 19B.

[xXOutbackFordBoysX]

not to be mean i think u have way to much time on ur hands but for what this will look like in the end i hope it was worth it for u, it does look very good

[rcWizzard]

To - @xXOutbackFordBoysX

Dude, if I had to much time, I'd be Done by now!!

[xXOutbackFordBoysX]

@rcWizzard haha yeah that would be true, cant wait to see it running and driving around

[Usethebanana]

@rcWizzard

ROFLOL :oD :oD :oD

Great and funny reply!

And besides, even if you would have too much time on your hands, it's great that you're putting into a cool project like this rather than spending it in front of the TV :o).

A hobby is almost never about the result, it's all about the process :o) .

Cheers man! Enjoy! I hope I'll see a vid of this thing running around crushing go-carts or toy-cars :o)

[yarzini704]

hi where can i get one of the of those engines

[rcWizzard]

To - @yarzini704

Used from e-Bay. Or new from ConleyPrecision. com .

[jacksonderick32]

i watched your first few videos of the grave digger when i was twelve. Im 14 and a half now. when are you gonna be finished

[rcWizzard]

@jacksonderick32

Around your birthday.

[2strokedetroit]

@jacksonderick32 hahahaha same. my birthday's in july. but hey man, you gotta admit, this thing is gonna be well worth the wait.

[rcsage7]

[rcWizzard]

@paulinkaaam

[rcWizzard]

@xmodrock

Who's insecure??

I got the engine from e-Bay. Check out the new version at ConleyPrecision. com

[xmodrock]

@rcWizzard not you.. the guy making gay comments.. if your making gay comments your probably questioning sexuality.. and sweet.. about how much was it? a few grand?

[rcWizzard]

@xmodrock

Got the engine used from e-Bay for $1650.

[xmodrock]

[2LateIWon]

have you had anymore updates since this one?

[rcWizzard]

@2LateIWon

Yes, 18 more videos. Click on drop down to the right of my name, above the video as it plays.

[NebunLaCap]

When its done your gonna have to drive it careful and not smash other toy rc's right? Because you dont want to break it after 3 years of artful work.

[rcWizzard]

@NebunLaCap

I hope I've built it sturdy enough to handle some bashing.

[LittleBuddah118]

where u get the wheels from

[rcWizzard]

@LittleBuddah118

Wheels And tires from e-Bay. New, $25 each. What a deal.

[LittleBuddah118]

@rcWizzard cheers mate i need some for a mini bike and their perfect

[rcWizzard]

@LittleBuddah118

[TheImSuperBoredShow]

@dommy238

Lol, you cant spell aluminum either. I love it when people correct people with a wrong answer.

[Ubojica6661]

I have a rc car with a hydraulic amortisers

[rcWizzard]

@Ubojica6661

Any video's of it?

[daddydcustoms]

Finally I found one. A fellow motor head and I was just talking about how we are suprised nobody has used one of these motors on something like this. Cudo's my friend I look forward to seeing the finished product.

[kbernaldes]

[rcWizzard]

@kbernaldes

McMaster. com

[MrKaddan]

@rcWizzard Do you have a video of the engine running? I would love to see it in action

[rcWizzard]

@MrKaddan

Check out part 1.

[xismxist]

[oddsource]

lol... nice. teach monkies to ride that there yea go. Grave Digger .

[rcWizzard]

@oddsource

When can you come by?

[snowboarder123135]

@rcWizzard

[firekracker88]

simply awesome

[2010cybergirl]

how do i get one of those engins

[rcWizzard]

@2010cybergirl

Go to ConleyPrecision. com

[RudeBoots]

Great Work!

Axles are ownmade?

Is the cooling System a Thermosyponsys or with a Circulationsys with a pump?(dont now the english term)

[rcWizzard]

@RudeBoots

Thanks.

Yes, homemade.

A pump on the front of the engine circulates the water.

[HobbyKille]

that's a nice engine you got !

[snowfreak207]

im confused is this thing gonna run on water and does that motor really work or how r u gonna drive it?

[rcWizzard]

@snowfreak207

"run on water" ??? That's for cooling.

It runs on model engine fuel.

It will be radio controlled.

Click on "More from: rcWizzard"

It's running in part 1.

[Szelek90]

V8 ? Pretty ! :)

[justin76bmw]

was that in rc car magazine?

[rcWizzard]

RC-Driver Mag, yes. But not a feature article.

[daboy432king]

hey if u cam make 1 how mucha will it cost to buy

[rcWizzard]

What engine would you want?

[daboy432king]

v12

[rcWizzard]

OK, send me your engine and I'll fit it in a Chassis.

[nameloc1000]

lol i saw it after

[nameloc1000]

that thing is more like 1:5 scale but over all good job

[rcWizzard]

I see you checked out part 11B. :-)

[fishin25530]

man i really like those Conley V8'S wish i could afford 1 many prop's to how your building that critics here just don't realize great custom work 100 stars

just 1 thing i have seen probably 3 maybe even 4 different Conley V8'S are they seriously $10,000

im trying to make something close just with a 28cc shindaiwa weedeater engine except mines gonna be more like a late model dirt track car

i recently got the chassis welded and done engine and servos now mounted its slow going to do right huh

[rcWizzard]

Thanks.

[CertifyThis]

grave digger is the bomb, always enjoyed grave digger, ever since i was a child, cant way to see completed.

[Resinat0r]

maximum destruction is better though :P

[garyfromtheUK]

what is a grave digger

[rcWizzard]

A Monster Truck that Digs Graves for the Competition.

[nadurspike]

Grave Digger is a amazing "real" monster truck. The best off all monster trucks in my opinion. This guy made here a MODEL RÉPLICA to this real monster truck. Search for Grave Digger in youtube to see amazing destruction races.

[NFSmaster9]

how come 1 wheel is yellow???

[rcWizzard]

To match the other side.

Bought 2 sets from E-bay. 1 pair silver, the second pair was yellow.

[0TOM007]

How is this thing going. i wanna see it run!

[rcWizzard]

You and Me both!

Click on "More from rcWizzard"

[0TOM007]

i did, but i cant find a vid of  it driving with the v8 running! at least try and start it up please

[rcWizzard]

Part 1 shows the engine running. But the Truck is not drivable yet. Stay Tuned.......

[TheMega9700]

grate mate love it

[rcWizzard]

Learn to spell.

[mulletjjj]

get a live

[juggalo6106]

do u think i could have a look at ur plans and try to make something similar and ill give u credit for helping thats if u dont mind.

[ReedAndrewSutherland]

You sir are going to need POWERFUL servos.

[Wizardsquadron]

i have seen your other vids. but your tires seem like they are the size of the front tires on a Lawn tractor.

[rcWizzard]

You are correct. They're the correct diameter but could be a bit wider.

[moofushu]

You should look at the video "Ferrari 312 PB replica scale model. Must Watch" on youtube. It looks like you're kinda doing the same thing but with a monster truck. Good luck. I believe his model took something like 6 years to make. it should be in the video.

[rcWizzard]

Thanks man!

His drawings/Plans took 3 years. The Build took 12 years. So, I'm not doing To bad time wise. :-)

[poojacrew]

probably a weekend project im making a mini atv with a single cylinder 49cc motor

[esqueue]

Before people used to believe all kinds of crap posted on youtube but now, they go out of their way to call things fake.

Ever heard of a shitty "DIGITAL" cameras?

[D1rec7or]

FAKE!!!

[TheAwsomeMan90]

its not. go look at his other videos. thereis a video of him starting it.

[diaryofthedead]

your def an idiot its real

[D1rec7or]

SO FAKE!!!

[diaryofthedead]

how is it fake? lol dumbass

[D1rec7or]

well for a start you can blatantly see that its a graphic. if you pause at 0:56 you can see there is heavy aliasing on the top bars of the frame on the car, see how it stutters while the camera moves around, that there is processor lag! the guys computer is lagging out mate, ITS FAKE FAKE FAKE!

[diaryofthedead]

if thats so then explain why he has like 12 other videos of this thing being built lmao

[diaryofthedead]

btw ever heard of a low quality camera? plus a digital camera or even a tape recorder camera both have a processor in them and they can lag too plus the auto focus is probably slow....

take it frome someone who has taken college classes for stuff as such

this is far from fake he has 12 other videos or so of this thing being built sooo i wouldnt say its fake

[madjimms]

Oh yes, because the lighting makes the digital camera use its internals correctly, that makes it fake?

Well.... I see your head is aliasing, so I assume its fake too...

[joemama1269]

what the hell is wrong with u theres no way its fake you dumshit he has about ten other vids of him making it  fucking ass hole

[fredburger130]

does that motor put out horsepower if it does how much

[rcWizzard]

3 or 4 HP.

[rickhorror]

do you know what 1/4 scale is thats like 1/16 if that... try 1/32 haha

[rcWizzard]

Dude, watch Part 11B. It's intended for people just like you!

[XShadowRejectsX]

how much was that v8?

[rcWizzard]

1650.00 from E-Bay.

[XShadowRejectsX]

damN!

[xxDavidWattxx]

are those lawn mowerwheels?

[rcWizzard]

Yes. Craftsman fronts.

[jaketownsend36]

I take it thats a real model V8?

[rcWizzard]

Yes, by Gary Conley. Check out his new Version, the Stinger 609 at ConleyPrecision. com

That's 6.09 Cubic Inches!!

[MILLER436]

wow man thats sick did u buld it out os scratch r a kit

[rcWizzard]

All Scratch built.

[kooryfery]

as its says i would dig graves with that strong shit

[Atlantisfan119]

Wow, that is a nice piece of work my friend.

RC I assume?

[rcWizzard]

Yes, it will be RC.

[5T4NN1]

Great design but u should have bigger wheels

[MKiller5]

No they shouldn't ?oO

[rcWizzard]

The wheels are 6.625 in diameter. Times 4 is 26.5 inches. So they're a bit to big.

[nietpoepenAUB]

LOl that skeleton! xD

[imaunderwearmodel]

Very nice crafting there my friend.

I bet that took some time, just working on the V-8

[oxymoron2727]

that is a working v8 engine?

[rcWizzard]

That is a working V8 engine!!

Check out my first 1/4 Scale video.

[samfat32]

it`s works???

[rcWizzard]

Yes, it will be Radio Controlled.

The Engine runs, check out my first 1/4 Scale video.

[EMAXXMASTER]

how big is it in feet? nice job tho

[rcWizzard]

Chassis is 46 Inches Long, so 3.833 Feet.

[fatsocatso911]

[serpadu]

legal,só falo em portugues (portuguese) pois sou do brasil (brazil).

[rcWizzard]

In English please, if you want a response.

[rcWizzard]

See the link that says "More from: rcWizzard", click it. And try your counting skills one more time.

[bikeitup14]

Bet you couldnt make it faggot.

Good job Rc!

[fireball676]

goozean, i bet you got dropped on your head as a baby a more than once didnt you.

[maqueavelico1]

amazinggg,this is just professional engineering,when you get it to run don't forget to post that video!!!!good work

[rcWizzard]

That's one I CanNot Forget!!!

Thanks

[slymjim2007]

Wizard, any plans to maake a set of more authentic and lighter wheels? I love the project. What about power on the V8, is it sufficient to move the truck well? It'd be something with that new Conely 609 with the supercharger. Either way, great work. I had wanted to do this when I was a kid. My father was an engineer and said itd be expensive, every hobbyist said it'd be impossible! Shows them. Keep up the good work.

[rcWizzard]

I've purchased the Alum materials to make one wheel, about $110.00. Don't know yet how well my Lathe can handle 6.5 inch dia tubing. To busy working on other parts. I plan to change the tread design also. Yes, I am worried about the power, my Conley has the Stroker Crank which makes it a 4.54 CI displacement. And I need to make a reduction box from the engine to the center transfer case. Current ratio is 12 to 1, WAY to low. I want 24 or higher for torque. continued......

[rcWizzard]

In my dreams I see the new Conley Stinger 609 in this project. Did you see the price tag??

I do accept donations.. :-)

I have to agree with your Father.

Hey at 28, you still are a kid!

[slymjim2007]

Ouch! Fair enough, I concede. Child as I may be, we all embrace the kid in us with projects like this. If there is anything I can ever do.....via email or the like, feel free to contact me. I;d love to at least share ideas or be moral support!
