V8 1/12 scale cirrus engine

[554687858]

That is nothing short of amazing!

[TestECull]

I would be interested if you made a version for car use. It sounds fucking awesome, and that sound would mate nicely with the NTC3 I have.

[gncamaro1991]

hey did you acually make this!?!, or did you buy it?, if you did where did you buy it?

[TheLagartijamovil]

in the minute 1:52 i can see the sparks from the power lines (red wire) that's is the why the motor spits

[JGARR95]

how much is that in america?

[adolz1000]

where can i find that?

[riccardodigiuni]

I am interested in purchasing the engine.

[riccardodigiuni]

wow

[sherbutorange]

do you have a blue print for it?

[SVTCO]

wow a mini torque monster. wonder how many in.lbs it can produce. awesome creation

[turtlemann14]

.... not much, a single cylinder would be better for torque but not rpm

[gotindrachenhart]

I remember back in the day you could get plans for small v8's etc for the RC hobbies. Often wondered if anyone was still messing around with them :)

[Bobbymitchell10]

is that compressed air or gasoline powered

[aidanhd]

if i had £1500, id buy it

[newforestroadwarrior]

That's a lovely sounding little thing.

[stoni38]

UP FOR SALE £1500

[riccardodigiuni]

im interested!

[seagrave1918]

@stoni38 HI IS THE V8 ENGINE STILL FOR SALE? IF SO HOW MUCH BOB RYAN IN THE USA

[modelleg]

smooth running!

[DrBleck35]

Sweet work. I wonder if we could teach squirrels how to drive.

[jugman80]

Still think that would go nicely on me arrow ^^

[bdaddy23]

man I love this engine, but I cannot understand how it is 1:12 scale but yet still is big. I have a 1:12th scale RC truck and there is no way that this would fit under the hood. lol how do you measure the scale?

[JimboD1965]

Well the motor is only about 4 inches long & the Cirrus range were early aircraft engines which were often 50 inches or more total length. Never designed to fit trucks or cars

[bdaddy23]

ok cool, I just thought of a 1/12th scale v8 and thought of like a small truck or car. I didnt know what a Cirrus engine was to begin with so that probably through me off.  (the prop should have clicked in my head but it didnt. lol) I imagine that those engines are alot larger than a standard small block v8.

sweet motor, i can see a lot of time went into it.

it looks great.

[jugman80]

Nice to see again. Is that realy what Deadly`s garage used to look like ^ ^

Still think he should put that engine is his magnum, can only be better than that dinosaur rossie ; )

[JimboD1965]

Oh thats rich Richard! The Rossi is quality. Better than any old ASP/SC or whatever! Nah its my garage anyway, you dont think he could of run this succesfully on his own do you!!Ha Ha

[stoni38]

Rossi's RULE!

[30GB]

what a crappy carb setup make a manifold and one big carb that should give you throttle

[tallandme13]

is this at wot? never the less its awesome

[bdaddy23]

wicked cool engine, but its more like 1:8th scale looking

[mitchell8934]

yeah thats if its one cylinder buddy

[ballsniff13]

awsome were did u buy it at

[aidanhd]

wer do u buy these engines?

[omniwelder]

hey is it just me or at about 1:52 does it look like the wires are sparking or something?

[JimboD1965]

Its just the low resolution video & oil on the leads makes them look like they are sparking. Its a glow plug engine so once its running & warm there is no power in the leads. I know cos its me running the engine & filming.

[omniwelder]

fair enough that would make more sense than the wires sparking.

i have 4 nitro rc cars myself an 6 electric

i know how essentially its just a mini diesel engine.

Is there any real need for a torquey V8?

[JimboD1965]

No there isn't any need at all for a v8. Thgis one is only 4cc total capacity for all 8 cylinders & doesn't even have a throttle! Its just got 4 venturis & needle valves & the revs pick up as I lean the mixture out.Its really made as an exercise in model engineering & not really for using.A single cylinder 4 cc glow 2 stroke is probably a third the weight & twice the power. Just doesn't have the wow factor that a v8 has!

[mynameis63]

very cool, but I bet it's a tempermental little bastard..

[dougla23456]

what kind of fuel does that use? and who makes those kind of engines?

[o0JohnnyReb0o]

Is engines like that findable on ebay ? What are the tags to write ?

[digitalbaba1960]

Decent piece suitable for effort to build scaled muscle car. Wonder if I can dress heads for liquid cool. Very nice

[aidanhd]

ther is a liquid cooled version i think

[maqueavelico1]

lets put twin turbo,nitrous,msd ignition,pure nitromethane,120 psi of gas and put it on the dino

[MrObaidah]

Cute engine

[madtownmadman]

Fuck off and die.

[rowinglove4ever]

where i can buy a v8 engine?? i'm from greece and none of the hobby shops have v8

[colsley]

I'm pretty sure these guys make them themselves.

[badboy81791]

please send me the web site to order 1 thanks

[TrainAsia]

Is this glow engine 2 cycles?

[mrKeverfreak]

it sounds like it's going to 10000 rpm

[toreyjw1]

i honestly wouldent doubt it... yo dont really have to worry about valve float when the valves open half a millimeter :/

[mickeymoose76]

looks good, sounds horrible, no different to any other model engine

[bordenryan]

THAT RULLZ!!!

[sealoverss]

hi brothers

anyone help me where to buy this kind of v8 engines , on the net or from a store , dealers anywhere in the world

thanks in advanced

[salemcripple]

Generally these are home built from scratch. The onle place i know that makes and sells them is conley precision. And theirs are 1/4 scale. And they cost more than alot of full size cars.

[herbienbrian]

wow very cool!

[canbaja5]

I sent you a message stoni38. I hope you can respond soon.

[Volga2402]

ur engine have some oil leak

[tylleboy]

HOW COOL

I could use one of those in my 1/12 Tamiya Lunchbox :P

where can you buy such a thing?

[salemcripple]

You don't, most are home built from scratch.

[francepourmoi]

Wow. - and what a sound.

[JumpStop1]

dare i say, its kinda cute? haha that thing is ridiculous!

[apisanz]

best shit I have seen

[kimx93]

Sounds like Grand turismo ;D

[grotzy91]

its has the same sound and size as a honda engine

[JGMagoo]

Is it all hand crafted or are there 'store-bought' parts in it? Is it a 2-stroke or a 4-stroke? Air cooled I assume.

[bernidani2]

were are you buy this engine?

[Gimbalfreek]

Look at the sparks coming of the ignition wires.

It might run a bit better if you fix the wireing.

Otherwise a realy cool engine, nice job.

[abominableaussieman]

where can you buy these?

[universalmoor]

how much horse power does this engine have??

[gutso1069]

that sounds grate mate what rpm can it do

[AznGunGrave]

dude where can i grab one of those

those things look awsome i wnna put it on my nitro rc

[newbornsupra]

can i use one of this for a small rc? that would be so awesome

[newbornsupra]

wat you cal dat engine? wer can i get one?

[sosick0]

Well newbornsupra, I think you will have to learn how to spell before you can learn to operate that motor.

[aznfryboi]

how the hell do you make that sir??

[DanielDSousaOriginal]

how cool, my dream is to bild one of these...

[pitbike2006]

hey nice drill lol

[onecylanderracer]

did u notice the christmas tree effect with the poorly insulated wiring for the spark plugs???

[apb1990]

Is this the V8 designed by Eric Whittle? In the plans he says that it is based around the 4 cylinder Cirrus engines.

[tylerkb12]

Absolutely insane!!! Excellent job!  Did you use any castings or machine it all from bar stock?
