Making a 1/5 AWD V8 RC Car w/ MANUAL Gearbox! - Engine & Transmission Installation

►Get the engine here!

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

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

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.

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

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

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!

Talent, ability, vision, experience. All are obviously amazing and the sound of that V-8!!! Man-o-man!!

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 😅

Masterpiece of engineering! Best example of full functional RC I've ever seen.

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.

Years ago I graduated from watchmaking school, and worked for sometime in that industry. I am really impressed by your attention to detail and skill.

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.

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.

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

[markspain]

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!! :)

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

[dragonoffski]

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

[Matt_Deluca]

Beautiful work, Johnny! This thing looks like it'll be a blast once finished. Can't get over how good the engine sounds too.

[mchivers]

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.

[stevejohnson]

Glad you chose the RC car to put that in. You do amazing work, and I like watching your stuff. Can't wait to see the first run with that thing. Keep up the great work. Thanks

For someone who just got into the rc car hobby a year ago to a real miniature nitro engine that an authentic original handmade looking functioning like a freakin v8, transmission with gears, radiator, coolant reservoirs ... my mind is blown sir this is like art your craftsmanship is 🔥🔥🔥 this is my first time seeing this I have to go watch the other videos leading up to this and diff waiting to see the end of project.... wow
