Put a V8 Engine in Your Electric RC

Sunday November 8, 2009

Ran across this when I was looking at the RC4WD Subzero. It's a very realistic, silver edition 1/10 Fracture V8 Engine with built-in Transfer Case into which you can insert a 540 motor. Stick this in a scale RC for some major realism inside and out. Heck, I'd want to run my RC without the body to show off this engine.

The silver V8 is listed as a limited edition. There's also a gun metal powder-coated color version that's currently sold out.
