Working 1/4 scale working V8 model engine. Tour of how it's made as well as some light maintenance on the engine.
Here is the latest in the Conley line of V-8 engines. It sports the Stinger 609 name badge (6.09 cubic inches or almost 100 cc) and is the culmination of almost 30 years of knowledge gained in the designing and construction of model engines. The new Stinger possesses no parts used in prior V-8 engines. The bore is 1.00, with a .970 stroke. It weighs about 11.25 pounds and measures approximately 14" long (from the front timing belt to the end of the transmission), 6" wide, and 8-1/4" tall. The supercharged version will be about 10" tall. Among the numerous innovative features like large oval shaped intake ports, "D" shaped exhaust ports, and investment cast parts, two bold attributes stand tall: the dry sump pressurized oiling system and a full ignition system. The engine even has a user replaceable oil filter. For those of you who lack familiarity with dry sump oiling, it simply means that oil resides in a holding tank, rather than a conventional oil pan, which circulates throughout the engine. The oil that does collect in the pan is simply pumped back to the holding tank. I have incorporated what is call a "three stage" oil pump to move all the oil. One stage is used to feed oil to the engine, whereas, the other two stages are used to remove all the accumulated oil from the pan. This is particularly important for high acceleration, cornering, or boat applications. An important side note, my test engine held about 20 lbs oil pressure at idle and 60 lbs oil pressure at 9,000 rpm. The dry sump oiling system not only adds more oil volume but aids in engine cooling and makes sure that there is plenty of oil during hard acceleration or sharp corners. The spark plugs have a 10-40 thread. As always, the new Stinger 609 V-8 will have an electric starter as standard equipment. No hand held electric motors here, or something that fits in a box below the engine, but rather a 12 volt electric motor that is an fundamental part of the engine. It can be activated manually or via the transmitter on your remote control. The centrifugal clutch is also included.
I love it. Yes you can buy a full size V8 cheaper, BUT the work that has gone into this is phenomenal, and this isn't a mass produced thing, it's a talented guy in his workshop, spending a lot of time making them individually. You pay for what you get, and this is some stunning engineering.
13:50 to see the engine running
THIS IS the kind of person who can land a piece of equipment on a comet 4 million miles from us!!!! HE IS a GENIUS !!!!!!
I find Mr. Conley's enthusiasm so encouraging. Very inspirational. If I could afford it, I'd have one as soon as it could be shipped.
Got to win the Loterry.
A fine example of a man who loves what he does and is proud of his work.. 👍
This workshop is a little piece of heaven on earth. Master mechanic at his trade. Great to see and an inspiration to would be engineers. Congratulations to you and thanks for your masterclass.
This guy loves his job, great to see
I appreciate the thoughtful closeups from the person shooting the video. Cheers!
This is without a doubt the coolest thing I have ever seen. I want one of these so bad.
now THIS is why God made technology! Thanks for the video, first time I have seen these engines and may have just found a new hobby...
Perfect for a CRX V8 swap project!
This guy took shop class really seriously. You have my respect and a BIG thumbs up from me.
This is incredible. And he looks like Walter White from the show Breaking Bad.
yes and acts just like him.........mmmmmmm
$8,200 for that engine WOW
wow that little motor is absolutely neat
Beautiful model V8 and an excellent overview. I enjoyed it immensely.
Very impressed with the quality of build of this little masterpiece engine and enthusiasm shown and very informative video, well done.
I was going to say fantasic... but this really is incredible !!!!!
LOVE this kind of stuff... wish I could do similar stuff
Thank you so much for this video.
You guys really went Inside the Stinger 609!
This is the coolest thing I've ever seen. Thanks for sharing!
Outstanding. I thought I was a perfectionist...obviously not...the man is in a league of his own. Thanks for sharing!
if you want to study for mechanic, playing with this motor is a great idea!
awesome work and craftsmanship !!!!! but who the hell is buying this things at $6-8k
That's a fantastic way to spend your time. Well done mate...
Exceptional work, small or large, you give credit where it's due...Bravo
Now I want to see this in a sick RC :)
More like a go cart.
I wish I was able & had the skill & talent to do something this cool. This is Awesome! I've watched this video several times & it NEVER gets dull or old. Thumbs up man & thank you for showing your great workmanship. Question, Were do you get the tiny spark plugs? Again, Thanks
Wow, just..'ken wow, garry conley is a true obsessive genius. This is the video I've been waiting for, for a long time now. I REALLY want one now...
I want this to be my alarm clock and for it to go off at 6:09 am every morning. PS the snooze button can be a shot of nitrous! lol.....
Wow. Dedication right there.
This man is a GENIUS!!!
Do your engines run on METHanol? walter.
If I could afford one, I would like it to have a heavier flywheel. Everything else is to scale but it just revs up and down too quick. I have noticed that in every video of these running, they always seem to stall when returning to idle. I bet more flywheel effect would smooth the throttle transitions.
A perfectionist, i admire your skills and patient.
I am an CNC metal worker myself..
Can you tell (or do a vid) about the transmission that is attached to this amazing engine, please?
Very cool.......attention to detail is everything.......Nice.
a very clever man,they are works of art
True engineering. I'm in awe of such craftsmanship.
AWESOME ENGINE SOUND!!!
I think it would be hilarious to drop one of those into one of those power wheels thingies
Man this engine r sick!! They look awesome.
To bad i can bearly afford a nitro engine :(
Very very impressed with both the product and that awesome dudes passion and honest explanations. Thank you for sharing and I would just love to buy ,assemble and tune one of those mini masterpieces :)
wow this motor with supercharger and stand is
13,000 dollars
$8295 WITHOUT the supercharger...thats and extra $1200..WOW! The stand to mount the motor to, if you dont build your own is a little over $1000..wth?
Remarkable! Beautiful work, very nice.
id have the fastest shifter kart on the block if had one of these
Fantastic. Thanks for the vid.
Just found this video - pretty awesome! now if only I could find an extra $8300 kicking around...
My speedboat 350 Chev V8 cost me 4 grand. I suppose this V8 costs more due to size. But, I like it. What an effort to make one.
I can see one of these in a go kart, that has a fiberglass body. A kid would go nuts!
those little engines and transmissions r so cool@@@@
Hey brother, I am not slamming these things by any stretch. They are marvels of micro-engineering. I am merely pointing out that to obtain this kind of attention to detail is not cheap or easy. I do believe that making a full size crankshaft is easier that making one that fits into the palm of your hand. And all the little laser cut gaskets and seals are a sight to behold. No qualms about any of it from my end friend!
Amazing amount of talent and craftsmanship. I see there is one "dislike". What does the "dislike" person have as his claim to fame?
that was simply amazing , love the shop, nice set up , 2 questions, 1 for the guy in the red shirt , is this guy hard to work for? and 2 can I have a job?
Incredible sound from that engine! You gotta put that in a Losi 5iveT!!
I love it. I can't imagine the engineering that went into this.
The only change I would suggest (like I know anything) is to make your valve rockers rollers, it would take the whole lash problem out of the equation and bring the wear down immensely. Unless this is trying to be an exact replica, I may have missed that part.
Would you consider doing a 4 cylinder turbo? I would love to see a little turbo spinning 150K RPMs, with a cute cherry red glow.
Amazing, beautiful!
great engineering work
This guy is a genius.
centrifugal clutch off the flywheel to engage the transmission, very cool.
thanks sir......i like engine...
Amazing work wish I could afford to own one you are on my lotto list....
damn your talented totally awesome job man. im very impressed it isnt easy to do all that machining
awesome job
its cheaper to buy and run the full size one XD
Heh heh yup that's insane
Thanks so much for your comments and support :)!? You guys are all awesome!?
Oh yeah. Look through old rc car mags. They are a work of art when combined with a quick change rear end.
just WAW.
as a certified n.i.m.s. machinest very nice work !
very cool video man. thanks for sharing
wow i love to have a job like that.
muito da hora viu muito lindo mesmo...parabens...
Who in their right mind could give this video & concept a thumbs down? There's obviously 178 weirdo's out there. This has GOT to be the coolest thing I've ever seen.
I was thinking the Same thing.
Nice Work and shop.
That motor would fit nicely in a small go-cart.
Super Cool !
Very nice ...That would be a great gocart engine
Looks smaller than 1/4 scale. Ultra cool
Iv seen little v8 but this is a little bigger and then put a little supper charger on it ! Sweet !
So well explained!
Is it supercharged?
This is incredible. You are now one of my hero's because you did what I wish I would have done. Question. Does the supercharge actually add any power and if so, can you tell me how much pressure it generates? The Supercharger that is? Or is it just for show? Thank You for doing what I never had the time or patience to do.
This would make a beast lawnmower
put one of those mini v8's in a mini bike, you'll b a millionare.
that is freaking amazing!!!! you should try and build a mini b-series honda vtec. great work!!
That'd be a badass boat motor for a 1/4 to 1/6 scale boat! All you'd hear on the water is SWEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEET as it blew by
ITS ADORABLE
Brilliant work ! Can you build me a full size hot rod ? LOL
I want 2 of those on top of my head, runing my helipod. damn, 12hpx2 if 1 stop the other still make me land safe
AWESOME!!!
So, what do you do with these? do they go in RC cars/planes/boats?
bravo c super les pttis v8!
awesome....ty for the vidieo
i bolieve you have the title wrong, it looks like an 1/8 scale from here, considering a normal v8 engine size. but i stll love the video...its was very educational. thank you
I am at a loss for words except great job.
We all love our MIP's
oh hell yes. I want one SOOO bad... Sittin right dead center in the middle of my living rooom... Or man cave. Whatever.. lol. Awesome. Really wish this guy was my neighbor, and I had access to his shop.. Hell yes.
I can't imagine how many engines (in parts) he has on that table...
"Jessie, we need to make mini v8's Jessie. We have to sell more mini v8's Jessie."
incredible...
