This is just badass. Someone has a lot of time and patience and skills. 23 t bucket is my dream car, its hard to believe this is a 1/4 scale rc car.

pretty cool.
I don't understand the math on the specs page though.

a 1/6th scale Chevrolet 327 cu in V8.
Type: 1/6th scale V8
Displacement: 1.10 cu in, 18 cc
Bore: 0.600 in
Stroke: 0.487 in

Why isnt it a 54.5 cid engine (327cid x 1/6scale)?

Without doing the math myself, I'm pretty sure this has to do with the "cubic" nature of the math problem... a change of 1/6 in all three dimension is actually 1/6* 1/6* 1/6 is or 1/216 total...
