| Re: RC4WD's new v8 motor and transmission
I want I want I want ...... Pre order list or rouh eta yet??? The only downside I see is motor cooling. The styrene engine I use has a fan in intake plenum and blows out the exhaust ports to cool the motor so I'm hoping I'll be able to convert the air cleaner in some way to help with that.. Anyway awesome looking product so far and I can only hope we see a married t case and not a coupler to the hammer as I'm thinking it will be... -Dan |

couldn't agree more. At least the fracture motor was married. (and the case could be clocked) And total silence from those in the know about this specific issue/ question. L.R. | |

Cooling may not be an issue , the entire block is aluminum and can pull heat fast if there isn't too much air inside. | |

Very true I wasn't thinking about it being like a "heat sink" as Long as the motor is making good contact with the block it should work great, add a little hx paste to help the heat transfer and done. I'd only worry if it's not making contact at all then the small bit of air will hear up and act as a convection oven...... --Dan | |

I guess a 540 motor wouldn't fit in a 10 scale 22R. Then again a 22R wouldn't turn the tires we put on them at real scale. Slick looking chunk of aluminum.... I like it.... I like it a lot.

I would love to see more detailed pictures, more specifically, how the motor is mounted in the block.

That looks awesome, but I didn't see if it is brushed or brushless. Anyone know?

Also, was thinking for those who did want to paint it. You could probably just partially thread in some screws into all of the threaded holes and paint it Chevy org. or what ever color. Then remove the screws as not to cake them with paint, or fill the holes with paint. Just an idea I was thinking of.

Very cool! 2 questions though. First, having the motor sealed up inside, would this help in making a sensored motor to be "water resistant", second, whens the diesel coming out? |

Silicone and shoe goo are cheap. I'll make mini gaskets.
