Brizio Posted August 1, 2013 Share Posted August 1, 2013 A friend of mine iis looking for a v8 in 1/10 scale for put on his RC car. Parma made Hemi engines, but now they are hard to find and the price is out of the budget. There is any model kit engines in 1/10 with a human price? Or it would be easy to look for a 1/12? Thanks!

sjordan2 Posted August 1, 2013 Share Posted August 1, 2013 (edited) Look into something called a Fracture V8 for 1/10 RC cars. Manufactured by RC4WD. No idea about the price. http://www.networkhobbies.com/showthread.php/5143-RC4wd-1-10-Fracture-V8-Engine-with-build-in-Transfer-Case&usg=__UJNVCJzSDlG52QuF0WCu5jAuI6Y=&h=450&w=600&sz=111&hl=en&start=9&zoom=1&tbnid=syGJhc2YiaJ_nM:&tbnh=101&tbnw=135&ei=dH76UaDVMuTh4AP6soE4&prev=/search%3Fq%3Dfracture%2B1/10%2Bv8%2Bengine%26safe%3Doff%26hl%3Den%26gbv%3D2%26tbm%3Disch&itbs=1&sa=X&ved=0CDwQrQMwCA EDIT: Well, it's $269. http://store.rc4wd.com/Fracture-V8-Engine-with-T-Case_p_827.html Here's a 1/10 funny car Hemi kit on eBay that so far is very cheap. Looks like it could be modified without using the blower assembly. http://www.ebay.com/itm/VINTAGE-MPC-SHIRLEY-CHA-CHA-MULDOWNEY-AND-HER-FUNNY-CAR-PLYMOUTH-HEMI-1-10-/111131135745?pt=Model_Kit_US&hash=item19dfee8f01 Edited August 1, 2013 by sjordan2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greg Myers Posted August 1, 2013 Share Posted August 1, 2013 (edited) Why not 1/8th ? Small block Chevys ( with lots of different intakes), flat head Ford, Pontiac , Also "Y" block Fords from the Lindberg "BIG" kits.

Brizio Posted August 1, 2013 Author Share Posted August 1, 2013 @Sjordan2, the one on the first link looks great, but not very well detailed for the $250 price... The other one would be better. @Greg Meyers, I will tell him about the 1/8 possibility! Thanks both ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greg Myers Posted August 1, 2013 Share Posted August 1, 2013 The one Skip showed you from Ebay http://www.ebay.com/itm/VINTAGE-MPC-SHIRLEY-CHA-CHA-MULDOWNEY-AND-HER-FUNNY-CAR-PLYMOUTH-HEMI-1-10-/111131135745?pt=Model_Kit_US&hash=item19dfee8f01 is the same one PARMA copied.

sjordan2 Posted August 1, 2013 Share Posted August 1, 2013 For 1/8 kits and parts, your friend might check this link every now and then. http://www.ebay.com/sch/Automotive-/2580/i.html?_nkw=1%2F8&_armrs=1&_from=R10&_ipg=&_pcats=1188%2C220&_sop=10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brizio Posted August 1, 2013 Author Share Posted August 1, 2013 Ok thank you again! Good to know that the 1/10 kit is the same Parma copied! Good info! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greg Myers Posted August 1, 2013 Share Posted August 1, 2013 PARMA also did a release of just the engines from this kit. The were "Y block" Fords, 292 or 312cid , both look the same from the out side and commonly confused as Chevy small blocks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brizio Posted August 1, 2013 Author Share Posted August 1, 2013 Interesting this. I will tell my friend also about this kit. You know a lot of information about Parma engines! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
