Buying things you don't need. C-7 Cat Engine 1/12th scale.

Wow those motors are cool, I was thinking just today I wanted to try my hand at making another rat rod. I've only been in rc for a couple years and my first 2 didn't come out to good. They were okay. I'll be checking out some of your old videos for ideas. Thanks for sharing 🙏😎☮️✝️

[@OldIronRC]

Yeah, the engines are pretty cool. A bit of paint and weathering and it'll look pretty darn sweet I reckon.

[@mikealexis]

Yes very nice engine, I bought a couple months ago and I am about to install ....

[@raywilson800]

Thats a really neat looking engine. I bet you will come up with something that will be original and clever. Can't wait to see what you come up with.

[@OldIronRC]

Thanks Ray. I thought it was a pretty neat wee engine. It will go in the 'someday' pile for now.

[@robertrosson1990]

Nice motors.Looks like they have some great details.Im sure once you put your magic touch on them in a build I sure they will look even better.Hope all is well.Looking forward to see what you do with them.

[@OldIronRC]

Cheers Robert. Thanks for watching the vid, I know this was not a very interesting one.

[@tomjohns8498]

Just ordered one of these on a whim, no idea what I'm going to do but I am going to keep a closer eye on your builds that's for sure 🥸🤯🤓

[@OldIronRC]

I've have a few ideas kicking about in my head for a few years this might fit. A Diesel Punk theme build, or another Rat Rod perhaps, but now I am getting into 1/14th semi trucks who knows...

[@Pantano0]

Apasiona ver tus modificaciones, eres todo un crack. 👏 👏 👏 👏 👏

[@OldIronRC]

Gracias amigo.

[@mikeupton5406]

Good to see ya post.

[@OldIronRC]

Thank you Mike. I've been a bit distracted recently, so the videos are lacking at the moment.

[@Del350K4]

That´s really cool - and of course you had to buy it - it would´ve been crazy not to!

[@OldIronRC]

yeah, I been using the display engines, but the downside is there is no cavity for the 540 motor. This will look cool in something I am sure.

[@Del350K4]

@@OldIronRC And as for the "buying things I don´t need" business - what if you´d passed up the chance to buy this, and then when one day you did need it, there were none available? In this new world of online shopping, "grab it while you can" strikes me as quite a wise policy a lot of the time. Mind you, I do own an awful lot of stuff that I don´t need... I´m impressed that someone in China realised that people like you and Josh were putting corporate gift desktop motors in RC models, and responded by re-designing then to accommodate a 540 motor. That´s the entrepreneurial spirit in action!

It dont work with the esc. You plug it in its own channel(aux channel) and that bord is a on/off switch. That you can turn on or off with the remote. Nice motor man. Cant wait to see more on that crane. 🦅🇺🇸🇺🇸

[@OldIronRC]

Thanks for the info mate! I've not seen these before.

[@wesmadebuilds681]

Very cool. I have that Chinese engine in my Welder Up themed COE Rat Rod. They are detailed but heavy. 😂

[@OldIronRC]

sweet. I don't mind weight in the models. I think it makes the suspension behave and look more scale than a lightweight model.

[@pumptech100]

Those engines are sweet , any progress on betty/duel rig video

[@OldIronRC]

It's still in the I must get around to that video basket.

[@colinwheeler4166]

Could Ur crane build use it?

[@OldIronRC]

Perhaps, I won't really know until I start the electrics/mechanical on that one.

[@rugger8787]

cool

[@TonysRcTechboom]

Really fancy one off those engines bro 😊 they look cool 😎 can't wait to see what you do with it 🤗 thank you for you Sub 🙏 right back at yeah bro and a Massive thanks 👍👍👍👍
