I finally managed to get the v8 fitted to an AWD chassis with the manual transmission. The centrifugal clutch will be upgraded as this one cannot withstand the weight of the vehicle, it will just slip.
Also the universal joint on the engine's side must be improved as this one is quite flimsy.

Your level of craftsmanship is incredible

[@chrisseger6870]

Truth.

[@mikehughhawk]

Especially if you take into account everything is 1/5 scale meaning all his measurement are millions of an inch

[@mikehughhawk]

@@greatestevar well I have to disagree as someone who works in tool and dye we do everything in thousands of a inch as mm are to big

[@HitLuca94]

@@mikehughhawk wait until you hear about microns

[@mikehughhawk]

@@HitLuca94 we were taught in micron but in Canada all the old school millwrights and tool and dye guys use thousands of an inch. But yes tell these kids about microns as that type of tolerances have even less room for error.

[@supremecamels7736]

This is what I used to dream of when I was messing around with single cylinder, centrifugal clutch nitro's back in my teens. It's insane that this is now a reality - Every time Jonny makes something and it slots perfectly into place is like ASMR for me 😅

[@jbirdmax]

There is absolutely something mesmerizing about watching a master at their craft.

[@Trendyrapslut]

those are still around.

[@josephgreer9693]

Finally someone installed this thing on a chassis, getting kind of old watching people run them on a stand, this guy is an amazing machinist, thumbs up! 5 stars over and over, thanks for the video.

[@richardshook3843]

I’m amazed at the quality of your work. I am into racing RC boats and some of our guys put thousands of dollars into them in their works of art. This compares with them. It is beautiful. Can’t wait to see it run.

[@ZJMK605]

Every time I think this guy couldn't impress me more with his machining and engineering skills he does it again.

He stole tamiya transmission. He didn't invent anything here just stole the stuff from other makers.

I didn't know there were legitimate scale engines in the RC world like this. This immediately has me imagining a true scale Corolla Trueno with a DOHC 4 cyl if one exists, rwd, a true scale represented drift car. I've seen the RC drift cars for years but electric doesn't excite me and nitro always sounded to annoying and loud. This actually sounded like a real engine but smaller. Wasn't annoying at all. I'm subbing!

[@MiGujack3]

Not sure about DOHC but there are small 4 cylinders out there for a while now.

[@yuryv.2188]

@@MiGujack3 this v8 is already dohc

[@AaroKo]

@@yuryv.2188 no it isn't. the other cam pulley is just idler wheel on these toyan engines and there's 1 camshaft under the valvecover :)

[@AaroKo]

I know this feeling so well, I have the same feeling for motorcycles too that all 2strokes make the same annoying sound and 4stroke 2cylinders sound like worlds longest wet farts but 4cyl+ 4stroke bikes sound like heaven :)

[@mchivers5783]

I agree with everyone else’s remarks. Very cool and interesting/ entertaining to watch. I know there were many hard thinking hours put into it that us viewers got the luxury of not having, we just got to relax and view the coolness of it. Thank you for sharing with us.

[@pranasikchatterjee2001]

The Sound and Working of the Machine just gives thrills. Awesome Work!!

[@reaperisgrim]

Your builds are the absolute best when it comes to these nitro rc's, always next level, incredible!

[@jeremywingate4950]

Never built one of these but have built plenty of off-road vehicles but I can totally respect the amount of time and craftsmanship that is involved to build these little guys. Really not any different than the full size version other than bigger. You have my respect there sir.

[@markspain2219]

So excited to see one of these motors actually put to use instead of sitting on a stand. Craftsmanship is incredible, watching the gearbox in action is mesmerizing!! :)

[@dragonoffski4501]

As always - top notch engineering, well filmed and nicely presented. Cheers! :)

[@rasmus1600]

6:36, you need to secure the pneumatic fitting holding the bowden tube better. It can help with stringing and less retraction.

[@ScarabChris]

The RC industry is making massive leaps and bounds. In the last 5-8 years alone the new products are amazing. And those Toyan engines are getting better by the day. I remember being pressed by their early one and two cylinder engines. Now they have a V8. The industry has really given the advanced RC DIY guys a lot of cool options.

[@user-vs5kn6wv1z]

There was a model v8 20 years ago not sure what happened to it.

[@theK8pTn-G]

This is more than just a build. This is an artpiece. Brillant work Johnny, Bravo!

[@Stallnig]

I'd call it jewlery

[@joshuachudley1270]

If you want art piece, look up Real Scale size ferrari... the guy went so far as to make a scale Ferrari down to even valves and valve springs, running gages and everything

[@jamiemcdonald1735]

Hi from jim in Australia. You're a mad man and a genius and I absolutely love it. The fact that you made your own 3-speed gearbox with reverse is mind-blowing and I cannot wait to see more of this project. Not to mention I can see that you're building this with off-the-shelf parts/slightly modified parts, you could make this something that followers could build at home. ❤

Should make a different intake system for it, seems like just like the other engines the stock intake is more about looking the part then flowing much air

It's really beautiful to see! BUT, it's WAY too complicated to squeeze everything together on that small frame. which can work very nicely Serpent Viper 989 Nitro 1/8 RC car or 1/8 Serpent Viper 988 BUT that is no longer a sport you would say. regards Rob

[@martindehon2444]

For braking, why not installing a brake disc on the transmission after ther gearbox ? It will allow you to have a single brake for the four wheels easier to install

what if you make a small ctv transmission for an rc car

[@johnnyq90]

I'd love to, but I need to figure out how to make some parts what belt should I use, etc.

[@riverpirate1022]

It will just explode. Tiny parts, way high rotational speeds and pressure. There is a reason all successful RC cars have simple designs. This thing is already way to complex and engineered wrong and will never work, or work well, or handle well, or be reliable.
