i got an idea, what do you guys think?

Guys, i decided to build engine model kits and sell them. to build them is pain for some people and i am pretty good at building them and sure some extra $$ would be great for me..

i will sell 1/6 scale engine model kits and 1/4 scale visible engine model kits.

avaiable kits:

FORD 427 SOHC:


CHEVY SMALL BLOCK STREET ROD ENGINE:


HEMI 426 ENGINE:


CORVETTE FUEL INJECTED ENGINE:


L-T1 SMALL BLOCK ENGINE:


also, visible engine model kits are available too. ( you hit the button and they start like real engine and has sound chip which gives your real engine sound)

VISIBLE V-8 ENGINE:


HEMI 426 ENGINE:


HEMI 426 RACE ONLY ENGINE:


i am not sure how much i should ask for these but i can give you an idea.

1/6 scale engines cost $30.00 and it takes 1 day to build

1/4 Visible engines cost around 60-80 bucks and takes days to build

so if you guys can help me that how much should sell the 1/6 scale kits and 1/4 visible kits that would be great.. just to get an idea..

also, if anyone wanna order one of these model kits, just let me know, i will build for ya :thumbup:

I personally would not pay someone to do it. But there might be some people who might...

i don't know manny people who will pay that much, and shipping them would be a pain because they might break.i think some company's sell they already built.

the prices i posted above is what i pay when i buy them BEFORE i assemble them.. when i build them sure i am gonna ask more than that.. well i listed one of my engine kits on e-bay and see if it is gonna sell, if it sells, i will get some more and build and sell..

you can already buy them assembled for not to much more than unassembled from the factory
