Neat... i've never heard a nitro engine sound like that, i thought that it would always be the high pitched buzz, but i guess thats ony small displacement engines.

BTW Rokclod... Did you notice the price on that model V-10? It's 250 thousand!!! 8O 8O 8O You could make yourself a kick ass 1:1 crawler and still have enough to make an RC crawler with that much!

(But it is pretty cool)

I've seen the Conley ones before, but that other V8 is sweet! It even sounded real when he revved it up!

I believe the run on gas or propane, and i dont think they have glowplugs either. I shure would love to hear that whenever i open up my rc.

That V8 might be running on nitro. It looks like its smoking a little bit when the camera moves around the end. RC engines smoke because they are run rich so they dont over heat. That V8 has a radiator so it might be run leaner than your typical rc engine. Just my thought. I've never heard a 1:4 scale engine either so who knows.
