The factory actually burnt down a year or so ago. Havn't heard if they rebuilt it though. They lost all the molds. Managed to make one viper v-10 running engine though.
Lots of money, I'm curious towards how long you could ring one out till a clothes pin rod bolt gave out?

I believe those are the same guys I read about in Hot Rod or similar rag quite a few years ago. They actually installed a blown V8 in something like a Willys coupe and had a RC 4cyl 4wd truck the builder used "to chase the dog around the back yard".
It also might be the same ppl I saw at Bristol 5 or 6 years ago that had a booth set up. They had a top fuel RC rail car that they would fire up on a stand for the crowd. Sounded like a weed whacker with a BAD attitude and imagine the sound of a ~.800 inch roller cammed big block but on a tiny scale.
Incredibly cool but way out of my budget for coffee table entertainment.

The model V-8s have been around for awhile. there are 1/4 scale V-8s that have duel carbs etc. they run about 4500 thou.

Does anyone know the link for the super cool Ferrari scale model that had the full-on scale running engine and functional gauges? That car is a work of art. Pozzi had a link several years ago.
