YouTuber JohnnyQ90 has developed an impressive remote-controlled monster truck equipped with a functional 44cc V-8 engine, liquid-cooled and gasoline-powered.
The engine follows a classic design with a cam-in-block and a four-barrel carburetor, along with a wide exhaust reminiscent of NASCAR cars, resulting in a powerful sound.
The body is a 1:10 scale Chevy Stepside, featuring functional lights and a small alternator to support the electrical systems.
The project includes a custom clutch, as the previous one struggled with the four-wheel drive. Now, the vehicle can even perform wheelies with ease. During testing, the engine produced a deep V-8 rumble, which turned into a racing howl at high RPMs.
The only notable limitation is the transmission, which quickly reaches the rev limit, something that could be adjusted in future versions.
The engine alone costs around $2,000, not including additional components like the chassis, wheels, and radio, as well as custom aluminum-machined parts. Despite the high cost, the performance and realistic sound make this an impressive project, ranking it among the best V-8-powered remote-controlled trucks ever built.
