Holy shit that is Effing BAD ASS! :shock: I WILL have one of those- (especially if they keep the clock-able t-case that the current (or now old?)unit has.) Wow so many people have been waiting for this- a scale realistic motor and tranny all together. NICE. :twisted: does any one have an eta? and does anyone know if they are taking pre orders and or deposits?

My wallet is already crying.

Didn't see it on their site yet. It does like nice in the posted pic.

Just had to be a Chev engine. This guy will pass.

Re: RC4WD's new v8 motor and transmission
 

Just a little info...

It will be a drop in for the TF2... "thumbsup"

Re: RC4WD's new v8 motor and transmission
 

With the fitting kit.

thats awesome! I have to ask though, all 2 pics now and neither of them show a t-case married to the tranny? and what size motor are you stuffing in there? looks pretty tight to be a 540 can to me, but maybe it is?

either way it looks stellar! It can clearly be worked/ tweaked to be a ford, chevy, rover, or any other v-8 motor out there.
is there a release date yet?

Re: RC4WD's new v8 motor and transmission
 

much better sizing! old one was always useless scale size wise I thought. does the motor still fit inside the block? or is it just a billet scale motor for looks?

love the non molded in headers and pan. nice!

Re: RC4WD's new v8 motor and transmission
 

Other than the middle two exhaust ports are together. Ford's always have the exhaust ports on the cylinder head evenly spaced. Same with the old hemi's.

Re: RC4WD's new v8 motor and transmission
 

Yes the block holds 540 sized motors inside. Everything on the motor is a separate piece like a real engine. The engine unit is very similar in size to the old Parma 1/10 V8 engine model.

Re: RC4WD's new v8 motor and transmission
 

Will detail pieces also be available? Headers, maybe a wiring kit, ect?

Re: RC4WD's new v8 motor and transmission
 

This hobby is worse than the most addicting drugs. I want one!

Re: RC4WD's new v8 motor and transmission
 

When ya stick a manifold or headers on, who the heck is going to notice the ports are wrong? lol

L.R. :roll:

Re: RC4WD's new v8 motor and transmission
 

I don't know but I would think if there was a demand, RC4WD would consider looking at it.

Wires would be sooo coool. :shock:

Re: RC4WD's new v8 motor and transmission
 

You should be able to make up your own wiring kit fairly easy I imagine. It's other more detailed pieces I want.

Re: RC4WD's new v8 motor and transmission
 

Ooo just saw it will fit into a TF2 with a fitting kit....My jk8 on a scx10 chassis has the tf2 trans in it....maybe it will fit...

Re: RC4WD's new v8 motor and transmission
 

Release date? Pre orders? Married t-case?
