Giant scale model cars and airplanes powered by small gasoline engines have been popular with adult racers for quite a few years now. The largest scale models available through conventional RC hobby outlets are one fifth or one sixth scale, but the serious racers go quarter scale. Corvettes are dirty cars. I dont care how many times they go to LeMans with the Z06, a Corvette will always remind me of Dirk Diggler, the 1970s, shag carpeting. Download and print your own.

The most common crossplane crankshaft for a 90 V8 engine has four crankpins, each serving two cylinders on opposing banks, offset at 90 from. Now the smallest quarter scale blown V8 gasoline engine in commercial production is being turned out by Conley Precision Engines to power. A quarter scale gasoline powered car is about 1. The engines for such large models are usually two cycle engines not dissimilar from the engines that power weedwackers and leaf blowers, typically beginning at about 3. Even the larger engines for quarter scale models are simple and relatively inexpensive. For example, a 1. US1. 00. 0. I did say relatively inexpensive. This is plenty of power for any quarter scale wheeled vehicle one might want to race.

V8 with supercharging, 1. US7. 00. 0 Simply enough, other engines dont look or sound right. If you are going to spend a significant portion of a years salary on a scale model car, expecting to own a true scale model isnt unreasonable.

This model is almost completely made of paper except some scotch tape on valves to eliminate friction and runs on compressed air. LxWxH 32 x 24 x 27 mm. The worlds smallest production supercharged fourstroke V8 engine is designed for scale model RC cars. The Bentley Continental GT is a grand tourer produced by the British automaker Bentley Motors since 2003. It was the first car released by Bentley under Volkswagen AG. For example, the 1. Dodge Charger Daytona, one of the quintessential Detroit muscle cars, was 5. V8 that put out 4. Scaling to one quarter the size would give a model 1. The scaled engine would have a displacement of 1. To some extent, the changes required to make a scale model look and perform in a properly scaled manner can be accomplished by changing the materials of which the model is constructed. For example, using strict scaling the loading on the tires on the pavement is considerably smaller for the scale model than for the original car. This makes for poorer handling and performance, as the power of the engine will cause the tires to break free, wasting power and losing traction in curves. It may be possible to save the performance and the appearance of the model, for example, by substituting a rubber for the tires that either has proportionally larger contact areas a more compliant material or a stickier rubber, or both. Such substitutions may allow a scale model to perform properly while keeping its scale appearance. Quarter scale model of a 1. Conley Stinger 6. V8 Photo Conley Precision EnginesBut a powered scale model of a car isnt just one with the right appearance, or even if properly scale performance is produced. A great deal of the enjoyment of racing is the sound of the car, and especially of the engine. Nothing else in the world quite sounds like a big block V8 turning over, then running up through the power curve. The rumble at low speeds is hypnotic, while the special screaming wail at high rpms adds greatly to the excitement of the race. In short, serious quarter scale racers want their models to sound right, and this largely drives the demand for the Conley 6. It sounds like the real thing only two octaves higher in pitch.

A particular problem comes from lubrication it is very hard to adequately lubricate the cylinder and piston walls to survive running at 1. This problem was eventually solved with the help of manufacturing engineers from Sunnen Products Co., a leader in precision honing who worked with Conley to make the engines cylinder liners. It proved necessary to deeply hone a cross hatched pattern in the cylinder liners, and then to plateau hone the liners to remove any lips and edges protruding from the first set of patterns. The cylinder liners then had sufficient excess oil capacity to adjust to the movements of the piston, and were smooth enough to significantly reduce the effects of those movements by maintaining closer tolerances between the pistons and the cylinder liners. The production models can be run for long periods at high rpm without excessive heating or wear. The Conley Stinger 6. V 8 has an electric starter and a centrifugal clutch as standard equipment, and is available with or without the supercharger. The list price of the Stinger 6. US5. 69. 5, although lower prices are available from some suppliers. The supercharger allows the engine to produce about 6. US1. 70. 0.

It also doesnt require hold harmless clauses in life insurance policies against accidents during races. The practitioners are an enthusiastic, outgoing lot who truly enjoy their hobby. More power to them.
