I even had a signed Babe Ruth card that I stupidly put a thumbtack through, then later lost. Genuine Babe Ruth signed in fountain pen. I don't care what it would be worth, I only care that I don't have it to pass along to my great grandson.
All I can picture is stuart little in a greaser get-up with aviators on rippin around in one of those T-buckets with a big (little) V-8 and with a tiny Marlborough Red in his mouth lmfao
Those are some pretty cool engines. I'm amazed at the push rod four stroke engine because of how tiny they are. I used to build motorcycle drag bikes so I'm familiar with how they are made and to see engine's this small in amazing me.
crazyeye1, All you have to do to make your engine sound like these is to blueprint it, port & polish the heads, install full-race roller cams, a GM 478A supercharger, custom headers and fuel it with nitromethane-alcohol. If you can't afford that, spring clothespin clip a couple of Bee Club Special playing cards to your bike. I'm sure the neighbour kids will be impressed, if you can ever get their attention off their video games.
That's a you tube thing, the creator gets little or no say in that. Plus it's going to get worse to the point you have to pay TH-cam just to be able to watch most content without 40% ads...

Love the Rat Rod Brown pickup truck. Engine sounds awesome. Love to have a full scale one for a nice project I've been working on. All of these are very interesting and well made.
There’s really interesting story about allied efforts to counter the German radio-controlled bombs. The control signal wasn’t coded. It was (I think) just a simple A.M. transmission. So the allies tried pointing a dish with different frequencies at the bombs, and this is the part of the story that I forget. The solution turned out to be so simple that any ship with a radio could do it. That was the start of encryption.
believe it or not, diesel engines were a thing in the early days of the flying model airplane hobby - this is years ago. Like when I was a kid getting in to control line and then R/C airplanes in the 70s, I would get these books on the subject from the local library and the diesel engines were already rather retro even then. My engines at the time were all 2-stroke glow plug with alcohol mixed with some nitro methane for fuel. Single cylinder was certainly easier to machine, cheaper, and basically more efficient at that scale. But I remember when multi-cylinder engines started to appear and they were really cool/exotic - and look at them now!
One thing you forgot to mention, was a wired control, where 2 wires connected to a handle ran to the left wing of a model airplane, often powered by a Cox .049 glow plug engine. You stood there, as the plane circled around you, and the handle allowed you to control the elevation of the plane, as you spun around, using the centripetal force to maintain tension on the wires. If you tipped the top of the handle towards you, the plane would pull up. if you tipped the handle the other way, the plane would nose down. They would typically fly from 3 to 5 minutes, at an approximate speed of about 35 MPH. Once out of fuel, you would gently glide the plane down, and that was the end of the flight. It's been so many years, I don't even know what that flight control system was even called. You could buy the whole plane as a kit, which included a small can of Cox Glow plug fuel, a D cell, and holder that was used for heating up the glow plug for starting, and, ofcourse, the plane, as well as the wire and control handle. The whole kit cost about $13.50 US, and they worked really well, once you learned how to get the engine started.
WOW ! Some of these engines sound delicious. Pity about the truck at the end, it's engine is completely obscured by images from the following videos, as if you'd need to see them twice; they're already in the margin.
I've seen Gary Conley's mini-V8s up close and talked to him for 15 or 20 minutes about how he makes them. He's quite friendly, and the whole design and build process is fascinating.
He also used to make a scaled down Viper V10 with a serpentine belt that put out 7 hp and was the most expensive engine per hp that I’ve ever seen ($1000. Per hp).
I USED TO BE GREAT AT MANY DIFFERENT PHASES OF BUILDING & CONSTRUCTION BUT WHEN IT COMES TO DESIGNING & ENGINEERING MECHANICAL SYSTEMS I HAVE TO HAND IT TO THESE GENIUS'S. AND THE GUYS WHO DESIGNED FACTORY EQUIPMENT & ASSEMBLY LINES.....HATS OFF TO U GUYS. ALL BRILLIANT. OBVIOUSLY THE SAME GOES FOR ANY TYPE OF MOTORS.
I am afraid everything has gone electric but I love these fuel powered engines, they sound so cool. I wish all these hobbyist would go back to using them, am I right?
I am pretty sure that Moki, who make the smaller, “Large-Scale RC Aircraft Engines” have either plans to release, or have released newer 7-cylinder, and 9-Cylinder Radial Engines that mimic the Wright-Cyclone and/or Wasp-Radials of WWII, for not just a loser SOUND to the “Real Thing,” but also so the APPEARANCE of the 1/6-scale to ¼-scale Aircraft will have engines that look nearly identical to their life-sized Ancestors. And... At the same show where I saw the Moki display of their new 7 & 9 cylinder engines (working prototypes), I also saw some parts, and a video for what looked like Twin-Cyclone 14-cylinder and 18-cylinder “Twin-Wasps”/“Twin-Cyclones.” To be able to create a scale-Model of something like an A-1, B-29, or many of the other “Late-War” Aircraft would be freaking amazing... No-less-so than being able to see scale-models of the Axis Aircraft with Radial Engines (which were surprisingly few in Europe, compared to the IJN, who seem to have preferred the Air-Cooled Radials to the Liquid-Cooled In-line or V-Engines; inverted-or-not).
That YAK engine (while the shape/size scale was off), was incredible. They obviously worked had to make it sound so close to the original radial engine noise.
Can't believe only a few of them after spending so much time building a beautiful engine let them warm up first, yet the others were revving almost immediately and snapping at the throttle! !!
That Rat Rod @ 1:27 was badass. I could watch that mother for hours. Seems like I remember seeing photos of the full scale machine a few decades ago...Schhwweeeeet
There was a neat little miniature airfield near the chemical manufacturing plant that I worked, and I loved watching the RC planes, such as those shown, fly about. About 5 years ago, however, the department of Homeland Security enforced new regulations regarding the security of large anhydrous ammonia installations, and the airfield shut down. It was for the best, as the danger posed was significant, but still, I feel that we're rapidly losing our freedom to tinker.
@@jenniferbeatty7545 I feel the same about DHS but in this case, they made the right call. Our site had a large anhydrous ammonia tank located outside, and rupture of the tank would have been catastrophic for the surrounding community.
I just love old engine but my cook doesn’t get it so I will try to replicate them in one sixth size She still don’t get it. Hormones I’d say Keep up the good work.
i got a 1/8 scale little motor and i don’t think i’m going to be able to pay rent this week 😂 if it cost $400 for a small one, imagine the cost of on of these.

I took a Echo 26CC Weedeater engine and put it on a Razor Scooter you had to help it a lil to take off because of the Clutch weight but man, it was cool
You should have heard my bicycle when I was 6 after sticking a playing card in the spokes 🔥
Crom Pazuzu here’s a tip
1 card makeup’s a dirt bike sound
2 cards make a old bike(harly)
If you're poor and dont have playing cards then you can find a can on the ground and squash it on the back wheel for a similar sound effect.
Nobody like me lmao I was riding my bike sometime in the 90s when i accidentally did this but it was the best thing ever
I did that and... Balloons ! They made a very cool glass pack like sound.

These engines sound more powerful than my actual car engine sounds. That’s crazy
NITRO POWER ... AT THE HOBBY SHOP BUY IT BY THE GALLON .
Stick a straight pipe on your car and try again :)
They sound powerful, but it's really the power/weight ratio and the HP you have, so these engines are just intimidating I guess.

Control line flying. Could also have 2 in combat, cutting paper streamers.
The most important thing was it only goes up so far then it's down. Straight down. Into the ground straight down. More than once.
They also had early cars that were hooked to a line and ran in a circle and were very fast.
WOW ! Some of these engines sound delicious.

Correct
40 years ago blindness was a problem with the fuel used in them. Don’t know if they switched to a less poisonous fuel, or went to electric.
It blows my mind how much technology has come along. These little engines are so cool
Technology is the wrong word, Conley started making mini v8 engines 40+ years ago, it's just old fashioned machining and engineering skills.
That rat rod sounded amazing!

This was more fun to hear than from my lawnmower.
It's the first time that I can scroll down a bit to see the comments and still be able to watch the entire video.
The radials sound like the real deal, amazing
That YAK engine (while the shape/size scale was off), was incredible. They obviously worked had to make it sound so close to the original radial engine noise.

Bloody brill.... it's all in the sound these beauties make.... pro rata to size.... Well done and thanks 😊👍
Amazing!
2:20 that is hands down the best rc car i have ever seen
All awesome... but that 5 cylinder radial sounded utterly beautiful!
At 3:12 is it just me or is this engine actually saying the word "vroom"?
Those 5 cylinder radials sound awesome!
Jeremy Clarkson did a program years ago with a guy who made a miniature Ferrari engine, that sounded amazing.
Can't believe only a few of them after spending so much time building a beautiful engine let them warm up first, yet the others were revving almost immediately and snapping at the throttle! !!
These literally sound more powerful than those rice rockets.
There's literally 4 cylinders in this video lmao
Ignorance
There are literally more powerful than HD engines!
Awww...Flat crankshafts an then you have a engine. The V8 does not sound well. Like its damaged, shaking like it's damaged
Most of the ricer cars you see with the straight pipes, garbage tiny 4cyl, and fake ass spoiler probably have less power than a 2cyl 600cc snowmobile.
That 609 with the transmission was sick.
1:38 => That Hot Rod was SWEET in every way ! => Thumbs up !!! This is the only gas powered RC that I have seen in 25 years, which I´d like to own...
