    Default Model Engines

    I came across this tonight on the interwebs, and got really interested all of a sudden...

    Does anyone know of places in Australia that sell complete kits like this? So that it'd be an assembly job as opposed to a machining and assembly job like the link.. And a rough cost? I think they're pretty cool

    there not cheap but if you want something similar then look up lego engines (youtube to see them) as they work out to be a bit cheaper

    those links are all really cool, i'm definitely keen on buying one soon.

    mind you, it'd be cheaper to buy a dud car from a wrecker and get that engine running again on a benchtop lol

    Something like this would be really good for teaching people how a V-Configuration engine works.

    I just can't believe I've never come across this before.
