That engine is a one off created by some German dude. There is only one known company that makes these multi-cylinder engines which is Conley Precision. You can expect to pay several grand, I think it's $5000+ for one? Good luck,
Tom.

Five grand + for a toy engine!!!! HA!!!!
Man, I can build a 500HP Chevy or Ford small block to power a full scale car for that kind of money!!!
Somebody has more money than they know what to do with!

I believe someone in Australia made a 5th scale fully functioning V8. If I remember, that engine cost about $15K USD. For $15K USD, I can buy a full sized Mopar 426ci Hemi crate engine.

^ Exactly!! I know that kind of stuff is cool and all, but I would have to be making at least $250,000+ after taxes a year to justify blowing money on stuff like that. It's neat, but just so impractical and useless. Although, I suppose you could put that 12 cylinder in a giant scale plane or boat maybe? I'm not trying to hate, for all I know you've got 100's of millions of dollars and just want one cause you can. If that's the case, more power to you!

RE: Whee to find a rc engine?
Those engines and RC's are ridiculous!! Those are pretty sweet! I've seen giant scale jets, but never giant scale land based RC vehicles. It would be fun to build a replica of my old Chevy truck and go muddin'!!! It's a '78 k10 with 2.5ton Rockwells, built small block, 49" tires, etc... How great would it be to be driving down the trail in a full scale and giant scale RC of the same truck!!! The only problem with these things is you can build a full scale(Real) vehicle for the same price or less of one of these things.[&o]
