So I thought it'd be neat to get an RC engine as a desk model kind of thing...

I had seen that there were some cool looking flat-4 and radial engines that I though would be neat to have as a functional model. Until I noticed that this model is almost as expensive as a full sized engine.


Some of those R/C hobby guys got a ton of cash on them!

...and a friend told me about the cost and life of those R/C jet engines. It makes me feel really sorry for that guy that crashed the B-52 model because there were eight of those $8000 engines attached to it.

I think these are pretty cool. for a more reasonable desk ornament.

I've seen those. Functional things have always interested me much more

Edit:
If I win the lotto, I'm getting one of these. Until then, I'll just settle with jpegs

Yea these things are just as expensive as a car !!


I have one of THESE and the guy I got it from has over $1500 into after upgrades...insane...but fun as all hell,these things can take jumps and run in any weather with the rear paddle tires...


I am selling mine as I cannot afford to maintain 2 cars !!!


:laugh:

The stand for the engine costs $1,600!

Buy a weed-whacker and remove the weed-whacking part.

A 1 cylinder two stroke just doesn't have the same beauty as a 4 cylinder flat four fourstroke

That thing sounds meaner then the full-sized 330 V8 in my truck.

The radial piston model engines are also very expensive.

On the other hand, they're a lot cheaper.

Yeah, they're $2k. Which is too much for a pretty toy for me
