My thoughts on the new TOYAN V8

today we learn some rare GM Camaro history and simple engineering proven methods on all our everyday drivers engines that separates the nitro engines from the 1960's nitros to todays multi cylinder gas/nitro engines

Absolute gem of a channel you have here Dennis. Thank you for sharing!

Great video Dennis, wish I have one of these in my RC trucks. Just love the content, keep up the good work!

It`s interesting you say your crank is really hard. When I converted mine to center bearing I trued up the runout on center journal with a simple parting tool in the lathe. I was surprised at how soft it was. Super easy to machine. Possibly Toyans varying hardness techniques contribute to breakages. Center bearing still going strong after weeks of abuse. Also 4 cylinder in line cranks are the easiest of all cranks to balance. No need for bobweights that you need on a 90* V8.

Double D your trim is fitting of a RC God and I will need to watch this three times and take notes to take all the audible and visual that surrounds you great stuff take care 👍✌️

I’ve met Gary Conley a few times and have heard the 609 run multiple times and they do sound awesome. But my favorite has got to be the Bouland Motors Cosworth V8. I have seen the Bouland Cosworth first hand as well and I was blown away with how well it runs, let alone it’s build quality. I actually gave it a couple revs and it was so responsive, they are built to be ran and will rev to the moon. I enjoy all of the little engines and we are spoiled to have so many! Thanks for the video!

A lot of big egos over at Toyan, sure hope they listen Dennis, your right on man.

[arnoldfarrugia]

I really like to follow your videos. Thank you for. Your kind help my friend

[RCTanksTrucks]

Great video brother. Looking forward to the V8 from Toyan.

A crankshaft moving back and forth is called thrust and even full size engines are susceptible to it. Too much thrust clearance. You'd have to customize the crank to tighten the clearance. Sometimes bolting it up to a transmission can help too

[orlandomil]

Thanks for the info I love v8 design information. It makes sense why you like engines, you worked with them.
I plan on just running methanol fuel for my v8 for now.

[srerccustoms]

Your a asset to this hobby and a very smart guy …thanks for sharing

[mwestie]

Great video and very informative. Thanks!

[CrazyTony]

The four cylinder block (and most likely all), are cast, not machined from billet, saves cost.

[arthurbeowulfe]

And I seriously doubt it's got any kind of thrust bearing setup as well

[maegenyoungs]

I had ported heads, over drive, 2 stage nitrous plates, 3 carb for lean out, dry sump oil system, was going to do 2 plugs a cylinder, high pressure fuel pumps, but needed a distributor from Gary Omar.. that builds the Conley v8 now. He doesn’t want to build 609s. I had a guy willing to build a timing cover that mounted on the 327 version, that allowed for distributor like hemi. Kenny M, knows what I’m talking about. Ask him if you don’t believe me

[greenraven]

You're a wealth of knowledge, keep it up.

[Gkitchens]

I've seen videos of old 350s turned into flat plane crank engines. Pretty incredible.

[mikeemerson]

Put a thrust bushing in it what you're talking about is the thrust back and forward is what is destroying the pins

[badmanification]

WHY are they not paying you!?!??? Your obviously better than the engineer's they're using. JMO 👍👍👍✌️

[tstricklin]

I saw the vid, nothing wrong with what yall did, just good clean fUn, hope toyan takes your advice
