That is truly amazing. The alcohol fueled hemi head engine on the web site is even more impressive.

For a slot car, you could simply yank the engine out of a Smart car. Should be a close fit.:)

Looks similar to the Conelly motor, supposed to be the worlds smallest small block chevy motor. I've seen these installed in 10th scale RC cars, i've got a con rod and a piston for it. They are pretty bad azz, an haul butt too.

Patience and Adrenalin rush mixed together is my bet. Man those are some crazy cool small engine builds. I would not be able to concentrate on my job or sleep if that was me...Whoooooooooooooooooooah this is way Cool!!!

Coach,

I think the heat would melt any plastic for sure. This looks like a VJ conversion to me. How about a GMC Jimmy...Jimmy? Just leave the hood off and shoot 8 pipes right off the exhaust manifold like the Hemi...rump, rump!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The Hemi engine runs like a Monster...rump,rump...sparks shooting out the pipes...oh yeah! :)

I have seen that Ferrari clip before - that guy is amazing. Can you imagine what he is capable of building? The motors are impressive enough, but the whole darn car?!?!!!! He didn't pick a simple one either. Wow....... thanks for bringing these up.
