I love your presentation. No repetitive chatter, no shaky camera, no unrehearsed processes - well, you get the picture. Crisp and clean, edited and intelligent. Bless you, Johnny.

[mannys]

Johnny you know you're an artist, right? I'm not sure how else to describe the things you build. You're the definition of the saying "a machinist sees the part in the stock. He just has to get it out of the metal surrounding it."

[gneissguy]

It's not JUST the great lathe work.. it's an extremely well produced vid. Great camera shots, well placed cuts, tasteful dissolves, I even saw a rack focus or two in there. Love it.

[JViello]

Old vid, I know. I'm not a shoulda coulda woulda kind of guy but some constructive thoughts: Running that exhaust port between the engines, and so close to head is bound to create a hot spot on one engine. Probably perfectly fine for display and exhibition running, but if you plan on using this as a power plant of any sort you may want to keep an eye on head temps around that area.

As always, great work and attention to detail!

1300 thumbs down are those who can't change a fucking light bulb. But hate to see people as amazing as this guy doing such an awesome work.
Keep up the good work bro.

Is there a video showing that this engine is installed in an actual rc car and some test run id really love to see it

[pauldavis]

Some questions i hope you can answer :)
1. Did you calculate the new bigger flying wheel in any way?
2. is there no need to tighten the tooth belt with some kind of tension pulley?
3. Regarding performance: wouldn`t it be better to use both carburetors instead of just one?
You did an wonderful job so this is no criticism I just want to know your opinion.
Best regards Paul

I do not know where you have got all this skills but to me you are a genius!

[paxtongoldston]

Like that you left the drilling noises and lathe noises in most people don't do that anymore and I appreciate the sounds I miss metal working

[WayneEarls]

I would never get so lucky super gluing so many metal things.

[keyboardwarrior]

Awesome project. A nitro engine powered clock would be an interesting to watch fun project. Of course it is pointless and disfunctional, but it would be a great way to show of your skills

[mohdhafiz]

Make RC with that engine mate. Must be awesome 👏

[BobbyOfEarth]

Nice simple design. In 1974 I joined an RC boat club that was associated with NAMBA, (north american model boating association) ..they sanctioned timed speed trials. One of the guys in my club built a gear box that housed two OPS 60 nitro engines. Three straight cut gears on the back of the mount connected both engines to the center gear, starter pully and output collar to drive the flex shaft. His 60 class Hydo ran 82 mph.

You've got a nice workshop. Your workmanship is also very good. Fun to watch.

[Hellsslave]

The intake upset me more then it probably should have. I just seems like that would flow terribly and the one carb would be too small. I would've built it with 2 carbs and a 2 in 1 exhaust instead. But then again: you are the immensely talented guy building this stuff, I'm just someone keyboardwarrior on the internet. :)
Edit: 2 in 1 exhaust makes no sense in 2 stroke, therefore the 2 individual exhaust were the correct choice. Thanks Mr. B


Good job anyways!

[monkeyflyer]

You're a very skilful chap, and I'm impressed by how well that little lathe cuts.

[royalmail]

I’m not into all these things but I left YouTube to play on and you came onto my sight, I could never ever do it but I watched from start to finish and came up with my own conclusion.You are a gifted man....weldone 👍🏽👍🏽😁

[Papperlapappmaul]

Would be really cool if you could build a tiny nitro powered chainsaw using the Bosch NanoBlade thingies.

[haruyoshida]

i wanna see it run on a boat or a car. .can you make that happen?
