Hey guys if some of you remember my thread about putting a big engine in my 1/10th scale, well i have already started
I bought a Ofna/Ho-Bao Hyper .21 8 Port engine off eBay.
Here it is:
I had to make my own Chassis/Engine Mount Plate, I used 2mm aluminum sheet and used a hack saw and file to cut and shape. For the mounts i used mild steel and used a hack saw, file and angle grinder to cut and shape. I also had to make my own thread in the mounts so i went out and bought a tap & die set from my local hardware store.
Here is a picture of the materials i used and how they turned out:
Here is the plate fitted to the chassis(Top view):

Here is a picture of one of the engine mounts with the other already attached to the engine:
Here is a picture with the .21 test fitted in the car:
Here is the .21 next to my previous .15:
I've still got to make a mount for the brake arm and need to get the flywheel, flywheel nut, clutch shoes/springs and clutch bell. Once i have those I'll put it all together and attach the engine mounts to the plate.
Thanks for looking and I'll be sure to post videos once it's up and running.
