Replica Engines recreates notable internal combustion engines in 1/4 scale that are fully operational. All of our engines are four cycle, spark ignition and are equipped with all of the functional components of their full size counterpart such as the oil pump, water pump, fuel pump, etc..

i no they are pricey but would it look sweet in your fg !!!

Replica Engines IRL (Indy Racing League) Aurora is without question the most ambitious offering to date. The full size engine is a proven winner at the Indianapolis 500 finishing 1, 2, and 3 in the field of 35 in 1999.

The 1/4 size engine is accurate visually as well as mechanically and will be limited to 100 engines. The initial run of 25 engines should be delivered late this year at $5500.00 each. The projected price for the remaining 75 engines will be about $7200.00.

A 10% non-refundable deposit is required to secure your order.

I don't think anyone is fed up with Zenoah engines..

But anyways...you must be Bill Gates son or brother to have that engine in your RC car...or ...you don't have a wife.

Why would someone put a $5500 motor in a $1200 rc truck ??[sm=spinnyeyes.gif]
Even if I was B.Gates son , brother or any other relative, I wouldnt wanna waste money like that. U couldnt re-sell it, who would buy such a project no matter how much realism went into it!
$5500- replica motor
$1200- 1/5th scale truck
$2000- (misc. up-grades)
$8700-TOTAL Who has roughly $8500 to spend on an rc ??? Certainly not me a hard working 9-5er with wife & kids ! ! ! ! !

It's something to admire rather than use on a regular basis. The pride of ownership and respect for the effort involved in production justifies the price.

I could afford it but it'd mean no nookie for a few weeks at least.
