V8 nitro engine running, Keyed dash ignition switch, dash controlled front and rear parking lights, headlights, dash and clock display lights and radiator fan. Interior dome light actuated by the opening and closing of the door, functional ash tray - not in this particular car but in the others, flip bucket lights, brake lights, push button hood release for the engine bay, and Bluetooth speaker for tunes.
reminds me of Stuart Little
Stuart Little wishes he drove that
I was hoping I saw someone else say it😌
first thing i said lol i loved that part about the movie
Same here ngl
Lol I didn’t think of that
Actually, this is a masterpiece in every sense of the word.
I can't say it better..
I couldn’t agree more... absolutely immaculate
Exactly
I absolutely love scale V8 engines but they cost way too much money so I've had to settle with buying several full size real life V8 cars instead. Maybe one day my children or grandchildren will be able to enjoy an affordable V8 hobby engine.
Full size is more expensive.
@@kingkota2302 No it isn't. I paid 600 dollars for my 84 Trans Am with a V8 and T Tops. I paid just over a 1000 dollars for my 72 Fury with a 400 cubic inch 6.5 liter big block V8. I paid 700 dollars for my K5 blazer with a 350 V8. Every running scale V8 engine I have seen for sale costs several thousand dollars. Full size is a fraction of the cost.
@@Impactjunky you are right, some of these scale V8 engines cost as much or more than some full size engines. The biggest reason is there is no economy of scale. The cost of actual engines in everyday cars, and the cars themselves, benefits from the enormity of the numbers being produced. A scant few people could afford a car, engine or piston for that matter, if only a few hundred were ever made. While there are no regulatory laws governing these little engines like the actual engines, it still must be safe to operate and takes a considerable amount of skilled labor to produce them in small batches. Because no one is going to produce them via large scale manufacturing, which is the only way to make them affordable to the masses.
Zero sense.
Hmmm r re re
Good video, annoying music. Would much rather hear the car!
The music was too annoying to watch it through.
I’ve got a few more videos of the prototype running WITHOUT music. Check them out when you have time. You will definitely like them better!

@@TheMiniCar I know the music choices suck for youtube. Even just some RnB ref is too barked
@@TheMiniCar were these videos at ?
Dig the Prince plate on that little red corvette.... That is one sweet ass RC!
Everytime the quartervette got close to the road i got a little anxious lol, what an amazing achievement, really nice work!
Lol. Thanks.
@@TheMiniCar this is the coolest RC car ive seen since the Ferrari 312 the owner hand made from scratch...took him 15 years if i remember right. If you havent seen it...check it out...but i LOVEEEEE your Vette! Badass!
I saw his build a few years ago and it bolstered my desire to do this project. His feat was tremendous and so is his result. “Lil Red” is the prototype and served its purpose well. The next 50 cars are coming along nicely. I will get some videos of them up shortly.
@@TheMiniCar thats awesome! Congrats!
Wow that is incredible! And I love the fact that you made a 63’ split window. Best year of the corvette iMO
Haha!!! I caught that Prince symbol on the fuel filler. "Lil Red" Corvette. Yup. Niiice.
Are you kidding??? You are an artist,Absolutely amazing... NICE JOB!!!
Don't be shy :) supercharge it:)
I wonder how hard it would be to create a miniaturized version of the Ramjet fuel injection system...
The attention to detail is astounding...great job on a quality build.
Thanks David. The current builds are even more detailed. Will get some video up shortly. - Ed
@@TheMiniCar Does it have reverse?
@@reducedfaticecreamisjustde1447 No. The 3 speed forward with reverse transmission is to large for the C2 models. The GTX does have reverse.
@@TheMiniCar Oh ok. Thanks for responding
Please tell me the pop up headlights work. Even if they don’t this thing is amazing! Wish I could do that.
Yes they do. So do the dome light switches in the doors, etc. Thanks.
When "time on your hands" is well-spent! Awesome crafts-personship! Incredible precision.
My dream car in scale!! This thing is awesome, great job
Snapchat sent me hear!
I wish more people did this. This is dream content haha
Stewart Little needs this one, this is the one I was wrong about the other videos I saw
63 1/2 split window stingray absolutely gorgeous and it’s an RC. That would never leave the display stand if it was mine.
AWESOME Video Dude 😃👍.
No fucking way!!!!!!!! He started it by turning the key!!!!
Very cool ! I gave you the Corvette wave buddy! 👋🏻👋🏻👍
You MUST make a 1/4 scale model top fuel dragster with a top fuel V8 engine!!!! I wonder what speed it will go!!!! (Since it is a fourth scale, 400mph divided by 4 is 100, so it will go 100mph at most!!!! And instead of a quarter mile, it will be 330 feet!!!!)
That car is amazing. Next video skip the music please we would much rather hear the sound of the mini V8
Fair enough. Will do.
Incredible skill levels of builder realism wit all it's very nice little detail I'm blown away
A little more shine on the paint would be nice
Agreed. It was my first attempt at airbrushing. The current cars are being painted professionally. Looking forward to seeing them.
@@TheMiniCar 👍
This is sweet and I'm sure it's probably some retro answer but why build a $10,000 1/4 Scale and use $10 worth of transmitter/receiver stolen from the Smithsonian?
😂. I did use an old radio for the prototype. The other 50 cars use Spectrum technology. 😉 Will be posting more videos of those cars soon.
Reminds me of that, was it Dirty Harry? Clint Eastwood movie where little black corvette just like this was chasing them with explosives.
The dead pool! Great flick!
All that high tech.... and an outdated POS radio. I'd switch to 2.4ghz and save the excitement when you get get some RF noise or a trucker on a CB to make you wad up that beautiful piece.
No worries. The prototype served its purpose well without a scratch. The 50 production models use Spectrum technology.
I like that black w210 Mercedes Benz in the background with the exact same rim
Thanks. Me too.
You are a brilliant man, congrats on an amazing build, wow, just wow! 👌
I've never seen anything like this. That is totally awesome... thumbs up 👍
Why do i never see any of these mini v8 rc cars ripping ass down the road. They all go slower than a dollar store rc car. Dont get me wrong they are neat. But for that cash you spend seems like you should be able to have fun with it.
I talk about that very issue in my 428 video. I will be running one of these very hard soon.
Mazda veilside inspire by this??
This is amazing!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
This is incredible but all that money into it and the controller is an old antenna controller
It was only the prototype. The production models are another thing altogether.
What a let down I've yet to see someone send a Conley full throttle down the road
I agree. I’ve been to busy building cars for folks to get back the runner I was working on. Hopefully I will have time to get back to it, sooner than later, once I get a couple of these builds off my tables.
Do a burnout if you want to be cool
Where can I buy this?
I custom build them for folks. Edosan3@gmail.com
Yestercars,..One Of A Kind ,..Top Millions The Cov v v v !?! ..AH Ha a a
Love it!
Much better than sitting on a wooden board making noise.
Amazing where can i buy one i really wanna yry making myself
Email me @ edosan3@gmail.com for details.
Awesome. No get making those side pipes.
Nice work!!!!
Awesome car!! You would like to see my homemade 1/5 49cc RC Car!! :D
I have the same radio.
Amazing work !!
Is this a kit , that is available to buy, and if so where at ?
Ken, yes to both questions. Myqsc2.com has more info. My email address is edosan3@gmail.com
I made it go to 1k likes
Ok...You had me at the keyed ignition!!! Love it.
Thanks man.
I'm very impressed by the quality of this build. I hope that one day I'll be as good as you.
I love it! Im just confused about the prince logos everywhere haha
Prince song called, “Little Red Corvette”.
@@TheMiniCar mint 👌 sick reference, not my kind of music to get it though haha
It totally needs a mouse figure driving it. Neat build!
Have you already tried a Burnout with this vette?
Not yet but will?
Beautiful Mercedes too! Is that an e55?
Yep. I really like the early E55.
Amazing!
That's badass.. awesome awesome Vette.
Ok am I missing something why folks won’t put up info on where someone can purchase these at like it a big secret
No secret intended. Check out MyQSC2.com for more details on the models. For specific questions you can email me - edosan3@gmail.com.
@@TheMiniCar how much would a model like this cost not assembled the fun would be constructing the chassis and engine then bolting the body to the frame
I agree. Building the model is an absolute joy for some. The “Kit” has A LOT of parts and variability. Send me an email and I’ll send you details.
Is that an original Dave Connelly V8 or one of the newer after the fire. Awesome car.
35 year old Conley 327.
@@TheMiniCar amazing. So great to see his motors still surviving. I had one of his original supercharged engined from back in the mid 90s. Was in a 1/4 scale pro stock drag car.
@@Rocketman442-RC over the years I’ve seen some VERY nice pro stock builds with his engines. I’m building another C2 now with that very same blown 427. It’s my favorite engine of all the Conley’s.
It's "Gary Conley". Dave Connelly was the Pro Stock racer turned crew chief. The molds for this engine are all gone after the foundry fire. This is awesome & rare motor.
How much for it
This might be a silly question but was this all custom made and machined by the owner? Or was this a kit? Either way it is a remarkable work of machinery and engineering
Not a silly question at all. It’s custom made. I spent 5 years pulling it all together. Go to MyQSC2.com for more info on the red prototype in the video and the other 50 production cars. I’m currently building cars for folks and selling some as kits as well. Thank you for appreciating the results.
@@TheMiniCar so if I wanted a 1969 Pontiac GTO the Judge edition, you could build that for me? What would something like that cost?
Always consider myself pretty handy with an engine lathe, a milling machine, a paint booth oh, and my bare hands. However, comparatively speaking , when looking at the work that you've done, it looks like I finger paint. Haha.
I’m sure you’re a much better hand than you give yourself credit. At present I’m only offering the C2 and the 1970 GTX in kit forms. My hands are full with builds for other folks, family and the dog!
My email is edosan3@gmail.com
That is unreal!
Beautiful job..
Awesome 😍😍😍
Holy sh*t 😊
I'm just curious about how much would the engine costs?
Toby, the original Conley nitro V8’s engines are hard to find because they are no longer in production. Current nitro V8’s are made in Australia and start at around $3500. High quality and more importantly, spare parts.
@@TheMiniCar thank you for the information sir
Wonder how many were made? Where do you even buy one? Rcs were way better back in the day
I build them custom for folks. I sell them in “kit” form mostly. The time to build them for others is lengthy. You can get more info on the cars and builds at theminicar.com. My email is edosan3@gmail.com
@@TheMiniCar your website is expired
@@Rckid28 That slipped through. Thank you for telling me. - Ed
So badass. Great build
Unbelievable
Dad had one
This is beautiful and incredible. I'm amazed.
stuart little just got an upgrader 😎 jokes aside this is really cool, it's very impressive engineering
Why not show some pulls ? Digs. Actually like driving the thing. You put in a mini v8 for a reason lol
Check out the super charged 427 videos. That’s already discussed and planned.
@@TheMiniCar bet
@@TheMiniCar I can’t imagine a tiny full exhaust on this thing lol
@@TheMiniCar so Yiur going to run the hell out of the n/a motor what about the supercharged 427 I didn’t hear a definite answer about that one. Love the page!
@@4head210 Thanks man. The 427 project is on the back burner until my commitment builds are completed late this year. I promised the guys they would get their cars this year and they are A LOT of work. Once the 427 is finished it will get run, but not hard. Those engines are ridiculously rare and just not worth ruining. Stay tuned & share the page!
Swing it
Badass!
That is amazing incredible work my mind is blown 🤯
Boring lol i bought a Raminator and is million times better and mor fun than this conley
No Cat.
Wow this car is beautiful the amount of details 😍. I fell in love with the split rear window model when I was a kid. I'm 50 now, I own a modest collection of Rc's but nothing like this scale model. The motor alone must cost a significant amount and this 1/8th detailed scale models aren't an easy find either. Enjoy ! this is an awesome car that deserves to be babied. Nice job👍
Thank man.
It's Prince's little red corvette 🤣👍🏻🤘🏻 That thing is bad ass!!! I thought it was a real car in the thumb nail 👍🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Can you build any model of car
I only build the Indy, GTX and C2 vettes. Trust me, at this scale, that’s plenty. Thanks for asking.
All that and a old school remote.
It was the prototype. The other 50 production cars use Spektrum technology.
Absolutely beautiful rc. Thanks for sharing
How much was the build
A LOT. “Lil Red” was the prototype. The machining for the frame and well over a hundred other parts like it’s radiator bracket, sway bars and brackets, battery tray, pivots for the bucket lights, fixtures for mounting hinges and cutting the body, etc took five years to bring together. The CAD work for the detailed printed parts and wiring harnesses were no different. The engine is an original Conley so nothing was cheap. The cost to make one resulted in my making another 60 cars (50 are either 63 or 67 models and 10 are Grand Sports) to make it make sense. That cost is also why the models are expensive for those that have acquired them. If you are interested - edosan3@gmail.com.
For the love of God turn off the music. It detracts from the subject.
Hey Randall. I’ve got a few more videos of the prototype running WITHOUT music. Check’em out when you get some time.
O.K. im in how do I get one?
Hi Dennis. Send me an email to Edward.d.nunn@gmail.com. I’ll send you all the info for review and answer your questions.
Someone put the wrench time in.
Beautiful!
72 MHZ, use 2.4 GHZ and you can lose that antenna and be sure of no channel interference.
Yep. I use Spekrtum tech in the 50 production models. “Lil Red” is the working prototype that served it’s purpose well. I will be posting vids of the other cars soon.
This is what separates the men from the boys......................... $$$$ of their toys !!! WAYY cool model you have here!
How fast it can go ?
Not sure. I have been too busy building to run it again.
My Dream Toy Car!!! 😍😍😍😍😍😍😍🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️
Incredible job!
I need one ok maybe two , really Kool
Does it have a/c? Just kidding. Nice car bro
How much for it.
Alex, it’s the prototype and not for sale. But some of the other 50 production models are. Edosan3@gmail.com
Guess this guy likes prince ?
Hey Aaron. That and I just could resist myself. It just fit... ya know?!?
Totally agree looks awesome
defiantly not 1/4 scale but its cool
Definitely 1:4 scale. The math wasn’t the hard part, 1/4 of a 98 inch wheelbase car is 24.5 inches, etc. Building it was the challenge.
@@TheMiniCar id say its close to 1/5 have a look at 1/4 scale cars in other vids much bigger than yours
Thanks BANT3R. I’m going with the numbers from the actual car. I’ve got larger and smaller 1/4 cars from larger and smaller actual cars they are based upon. I also have “standardized” 1/4 scale cars like Raco’s. They are great models but certainly not the standard for truly quarter scaled cars.
if only it was a "stingray" to go with that conley "stinger"...
each to their own, but i was never a fan of the original 63 corvette. gimme the 73 stingray any day...
I’m a C3 fan as well. It’s up next…. Stay tuned.
Nice car! Could stand to be buffed or clear coated though. Wonder if those shiny tires are a soft compound rubber or no?
prototype that I painted. not a painter. the production cars are painted by the paint shop.
Can I have this?
