Your level of craftsmanship is incredible

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

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

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.

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.

This is amazing. I've been waiting for this and can't wait to see it on the road. I wonder what the gear box will do when you have pressure on the tires. Freakin awesome

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

I really enjoy your videos and even more the passion involved in every single project. No words nor invasive music in the background... Just you and your magnificent piece of art. Just an awesome channel, keep it UP!

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!! :)

Awesome engineering and fabrication. Job well done. Can't wait to see it run on a track.

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.

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.

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

Your craftsmanship is absolutely amazing and honestly I'm a little jealous. I've built many engines in my life some for racing and some for very large mining machines. I can tell you I'm impressed beyond words and have only a few questions. How many cubic inches is this engine Has it been or can it be ran on a dyno If so what was the hp rating it produced. Thanks for posting the video excited to see the final product

Amazing man! Truly inspiring to see the level you are working at! Definitely a beautiful car

The detail you put into your builds is amazing

This was already a Roy Hobbs "The Natural" home run of a build. However, when you showed the inner workings of the gear box I was smitten. Fabulous work and keep em coming.

To me this is just an amazing piece. I just stumbled across this and said "Interesting how did he do that?" Would love to see this finished piece. May I ask what kind of CNC machine are you using?

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 😅

your work is incredible man, fuel-powered rc car was my dream since i was 8 and now you made my dream come true

This RC car is really freaking awesome, I can't wait to see how it turns out once it's finished. thank you for your dedication to this Insane project.

Man, this thing sounds incredible. Isn't it gonna be too front heavy though? I imagine the fuel tank will add some weight to the back, but even so that looks like a lot of weight in the front.

That's looking like functional art as much as it is a fun toy. Hopefully you'll be building an outer casing for that transmission to keep the gears lubricated so that they don't seize from heat or chew themselves apart. Other than that, I'm looking forward to seeing this thing Drive

Your craftmanship is fantastic, and you show a great know how of your tools and machines. You are a new age Takumi… Carry on the excelent work.

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!

That is incredible.. hats off to you my friend. Amazing work. You are a great machinist... I love R/C myself and you are an amazing person. Thanks for the video bud. Keep up the good work.

This is just incredible! I just love the sound of the engine, you can really hear its a v8. And then combined with a dogbox gearbox. Im just waiting for the next episode!

Man I absolutely loved watching you build this rig. That is awesome!

Thank you for the time you put into this. Easily one of my favorite channels here, always pumped when I see you've uploaded!

So good to watch, would you ever make the gearbox linear drive? What power is lost through the uni joints is my only question/thought

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

Amazing build, crazy to think the amount of time and money this would cost

EXCELLENT work! Beautiful creation! As much as I admire 3D printing, in most cases machining is far quicker. Especially for one-off projects that won't be repeated much. Yes, I know there are things that can be 3D printed that can't be machined!

Such an amazing and beautiful build. True skill, talent and engineering. That is in my opinion a work of art. Thank you for sharing. Would love to see the finished product and run. 👍

We’ve been waiting for this can’t wait for the final results it looks like it will run great with that transmission 👌

This is just friggin AWESOME!! Dude you have gotta be super proud of all that time and effort that's gone into this build! Knowing you though this is just the start! To come is still.... brakes, suspension, hubs, just anything really that you can make stronger and better! 😁👍👍👍

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

This is going to be a crazy build! Fantastic vid! Really enjoy your content.

Would like to know how you can do all this work yourself it had to have taken years to learn and get all the tools Would like to see more and the finished car run thanks so much for letting us know about what your doing hope to see more 😀 thanks Leon

Nice. I would mount the rads mid ship for weight and protection. The fans should do fine if they have good airflow. Unless it's just a build it for the shelf model you will smash it into something.

I would love to know the Torque and Power figures this little beast makes!Where are you going to mount the battery and fuel tank, are you going to make a body for it?? and if so it’s only right it’s based on an iconic muscle car😎 I’ve got so many questions 😂this is one of the coolest things I’ve ever seen on UKposts. Can’t wait 😮to see it finished! Absolutely incredible craftsmanship and fabrication work. Would be insane to see you fabricate any kind of forced induction for the engine, a miniature Blown V8 would be so sick 😉 Love the build man, top tier content!

This has got to be one of the coolest things I've ever seen, and so very exciting. I cant wait to see how it does, how it drives, all of the above. Lol I'd definitely put a louder exhaust on it if possible. You make some of the coolest things on here, not to mention all of your tools are amazing too lol. This has come a long way from my little Tiger 21 motor I had for my Schumacher hahaha. There's so many things you could do with this. Good luck with the build buddy and I can't wait to see what all you do with this one.

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.

I enjoy your videos so much and I don't even own any RC cars.. Maybe it's about time I get one 😄 The manufacture and assembly of the parts is just amazing! You rock dude! Keep up the good work, can't wait for the next video of this awesome car.. the engine sounds so good! I'd love to see you make a proper exhaust system for it also!

Great work! It's amazing to see your work. I'm exited waiting to view the first run on the street. Go on man!!

Amazing as always but I nearly cried when I saw the clutch shoes you use. I raced 1/8 nitro on road for nearly 20 and the clutches used in them I feel for the amount of power you are running would work well for you. 1/8 nitro on road clutches are adjustable and have more contact area than than 2 bits of alluvium and a spring. Keep up the amazing work. Cheers, Phill.

Once again impressive order of operations! Love the work you do man!

You are my favourite RC build channel, the level of skill and knowledge is amazing 🇦🇺

Great project! That radiator shroud though!incredible flow!I am not sure about the dog engagment rings health after a few runs.they used to fail on race car even when they are hard steel-chrom.i believe they will need to be adressed as a steel parts soon.specially when the throttle-torque reductiom religns on manual controll(hand) Cheers! Keep the great projects coming!

Damn dude absolutely amazing.... your builds are next level... always top quality builds.... love watching your videos... if only now I could convince you to sell me some or talk you into doing a few small parts for one of mine.... I'm sure your way to busy tho... anyway amazing job

Very cool Johnny Q. Can't wait to see you complete this one & take it for a rip.

I love your DIY builds. Your tools are next level and you know how to use them. Keep the DIY builds coming! Cheers, DJ

That is awesome sounded amazing couldn’t really tell what was being used as an exhaust but may have over looked that gear box is awesome man if you got those things into production I would buy one amazing work

I love that little engine and drivetrain you put together it's friggin' awesome. I have seen mechanical engines in the form of a 4cyl. and 6 cyl. and an 8 cyl. all metal model kits on Pinterest and ordered 1 of each and a multi terminal battery clamp for a 12-volt system. I got the battery terminals and NO engines. I wrote to them, and they said I already got my order, so I called my bank to help me with this problem and with all we did that company got away with all the money and were actually quite nasty about it. So, I lost $150 + and only got battery terminals. I won't buy anything off Pinterest again and only in person if I found anyone selling these models

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

Man,that V8 sounds MEAN when your revving it!!! That's AWESOME Man!!! Can't WAIT to see this thing DONE an FINISHED!!! You've done an INCREDIBLE JOB on everything You've made for this!!! Great Job!!! : >)

Brilliant editting. Easy to follow without a word needing to be said. And without taking 48hours to get through. Elegant excecution.

I've always wanted to build something like this but never had the experience, time nor money. Thanks for sharing!

Crazy work, really good thought through. Maybe you can add an automatic fan speed controller which is controlled by the coolant temperature. 😅

My thoughts are I'm blown away by your engineering prowless, yet again. I noticed you used the radio to control the fan, why not a thermistor or other temp sensitive simple circuit?

Wow Johnny! You have some amazing projects! Can’t wait to see the end results!

Dude, that manual trans is amazing. Work of art

Have you tested the Toyan supercharger for this engine yet? I've heard it works well, but there's virtually no videos of it here on youtube. Fantastic work on this btw.

Lovely build BTW. Just out of curiosity, why did you use a Nylon sleeve inside the drive shaft mount instead of a needle or roller bearing given it's proximity to the engine? Also, do you intend to mount a coolant reservoir (expansions tank - will it be a pressurised cooling system?) and fuel tank on the remaining base plate? (low c of g and all that). Looking forward to the next episode and sealing the shafts in and out of the gearbox to make a casing for lubrication - 80w90 ha ha!. That will be fun! Good luck.

This video makes me want to buy a benchtop lathe/mill along with a bunch of tooling..... pretty incredible Johnny. I am sending a link of this to my brother who is a madman in the shop. He is running the CMM now and he ok's all the dies and first pieces. He is essentially responsible each day for over 250k worth of time, material. Rework is not an option. He actually is finishing up a contract with Amazon. They built all the components for the new Amazon electric delivery vehicles..... watch for them in the near future. We have always wanted to build our own cars so maybe this engine and the scale build will be enough to interest him. I am a very strong cnc operator and I can hold a tight tolerance on the manual machines. My dad was a master tool and die man at a company that made shopping cart wheels. We actually made parts at night in his shop for where he worked because they went through well over a 100 a day of about 12 different parts on a giant circular press table that was loaded with different dies and forming tools that we made in his shop on all manual equipment. I cannot tell you how many of these damn bearing race forming tools I made. We heat treated them and then ground them in.... had a pretty nice little shop in his basement. I miss those days, my dad was smooth as silk on the 76" mazak lathe that we slid down the basement stairs with the help of a wrecker. He bought a 3pc Bridgeport (Brand) mill that came apart and each of the 3 pieces were still crazy heavy. along with the surface grinder and the od grinder. We went through some serious bar stock that had to be cut it into individual pieces because the lathe was up against a wall so we couldn't run bar stock through the chuck. Good times, good times!! Peace

I occasionally build stuff myself but your level is just incredible

On of the best fabricators, designers, and builder’s on here. You do incredible work! Always excited to see what you do next.

I can't wait to see more on this, awesome job as always

This is so awesome! The only thing it's missing is a tiny turbo with a tiny super high pitch blow off valve haha! Great build, very impressive! 👏

Cant wait for the final product bro. Great workmanship and 3D printing. Plus those aluminium blocks. :O 😱

Awesome 👌 Did you make universal joints as well ? If so how ? Please share a video.

Wow, I’ve watched a number of your videos now. Your engineering and fabricating skills know no bounds. Just incredible.

That looks and more over sounds incredible the amount of engineering skill put into this beast is mind blowing can't wait to see and hear it running! 🙂👌

Just a beautiful little nifty thing. :) Congrats...you always amaze med with your mechanical skills.

Looking forward to seeing more of this! Amazing.

I like how nobody's mentioned how crazy your f****** g-coding skills are. You're making the exact parts you want. I understand there might be some Hollywood movie magic here as far as the editing goes. But it seems like you have it down to a fine art

From your first to this video I can tell you've learned all kinds of new techniques you've really gotten great keep it up

Personally I woulda use a bearing for the driveshaft support! But all in all your level of detail and dedication is fantastic!

this is another amazing creation & build. I look forward to seeing its use in the future.

Μπράβο ρε Γιάννη, τρομερή η δουλειά σου. Περιμένουμε με αγωνία τη συνέχεια

Amazing machine mate. I'd be super keen to see the finished running project!

I would love to see a final product for distribution. I'd buy 3 kits for my sons and I!

Heres a suggestion: you could use a noctua PC fan instead to make the fan alot quieter! they make really tiny ones aswell and you could easily just solder together some wires.

The videography, amazing parts fabrication, and creativity is astounding to me! 👀💛

This is at another level. How does the gears work with regards driving and changing, and would these require constant lubrication? If I had this, I would only run either indoors or on a nice clean flat surface.

Well done sir, can't wait to see the next installment.

The 3d printed brace is good for temporary purposes. I suppose this Rc won’t get driven hard like normal rc’s perhaps? In that case carry on. Nice job btw

I wish to see the final result, it really will be AMAZING! I got that feeling.

I've always wondered what it would take to make exactly this it appears the answer is a crap ton lol. Great work.

I would love this to be evolving into a multilink rearend, macpherson strut frontend, with ur own designed knuckles, suspension arms, and steering linkage. Also, making it an RWD with a gyro would be damn cool to see.

This is going to be epic, keep this going no matter what, you're doing great 💪🏻

very nice work. can't wait to see it with wheels and driving.

Magnifique j'adore 😍😍tu fais du super boulot 👌🔥🔥🔥 je suis admiratif!! Continue comme ça tes vidéos sont géniales!!!💪💪💪

So basically, you’re building a real car for people that get shrunk. Simply amazing.

This is incredible! Cant wait to see you shred some tires with this thing!

I love to see the craftsmanship. Awesome. And the model even works! 🙂

I'm extremely impressed with how well the transmission works I'm really curious how you designed and built it

Dude this is amazing. My dream rc build for sure.

The fact it actually has a V8 roar to the engine tone is amazing 😅

You are a brilliant craftsman, such attention to details in a class of it's own,this is top notch workmanship, keep the great work going brother 😎👌👍
