I don't care how rare it is - that price is ridiculous.

Pffft. From the exploded view it seems as though you don't get to build the transmission. What a jip!

J/K. That thing is hella-cool. If I had the extra coin, I'd buy it.

Every time I see one of these small engines, or the stories of the guys that build absolute scale running models of engines, or cars or aircraft, I think "I like this stuff, I should really get into machining and make something cool."

Then I think "you don't have the patience required to cook ramen. why don't you go play a video game and forget about this."

does it pull headstuds?

Wow, they have a 356 Carrera 4 cam one as well, although I'm not sure it will run on compressed air.

I imagine at some point, it will become feasible to make running minature replicas of popular engines. How cool would it be to have a running 1/8 scale 911 engine? Or a single port vw engine, for that matter!

I've seen the Conley V8s... they certainly sound cool but they don't "look" right.

Just add water!!!

That's cool as hell. I would lose 90% of those little parts in the first five minutes.

Too many small parts that I could choke on!
