1/12 pro touring camaro.

I've decided to take on the task of building in this scale and this is all I have. I have the chassis built and I found rims that I like although I'm still waiting for the tires. I do have a major problem though..and it's the motor

As you can see this is where the problem lies. I have an empty space where a engine should sit. I'm really wanting a ls but nobody has one. I mainly need the block with water pump etc. And heads. Any help?

Should be an interesting build! As for the engine, good luck! You could try contacting TDR Innovations and see if they'll get to work on designing one for 3d printing, otherwise you (or someone else) will be stuck scratchbuilding one.

If neither of those pans out, then I would suggest modifying the kit small block to resemble a crate engine from a place like Summit Racing with some fancy aftermarket parts and custom intake.

Contact Ralph Torres he's doing same car right now. He built a ls and think his buddy is casting it now. Check his build thread.

Hey goodwin.. your off to a good start.. i have an LS if you need one.. saw your pm.. i understand what you need it for now..

[Ralph Torres]

Ive been building this thing for a while now.. its been fun. Wheels from Micro Nitro.. and Twin Turbos from TDR..

So you are wanting a different motor from what the kit offered, or are you looking for the standard motor that came in the kit?

[goodwin3224]

Your cars look great Ralph and your engine would be a great addition to mine. Exactly what I'm looking for. My rims are r/c wheels but I have to do some work to them. Especially the tires. I have to Change the profile of my fronts to better fit the car. Thank you everyone for your help and comments

I needed a lower profile tire so I cut mine up. Talk about nerve wracking.

[goodwin3224]

[goodwin3224]

I would like the front rims to be a tad smaller but I suppose for a pro touring race car it will be fine.

[Ralph Torres]

Looking great.. i also had to modify my tires....wish there was more to choose from.. 1/12 has always been limited..wheels are a little easier to find now..but tires is a different story...

[goodwin3224]

Yeah no kidding. I 60 dollars in tires just so I could cut them up lol.
