Holy shit that is Effing BAD ASS!  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.  does any one have an eta? and does anyone know if they are taking pre orders and or deposits?L.R.  |

| Re: RC4WD's new v8 motor and transmission
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? L.R. |

| 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! |

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.

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.

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