Now That We Have Time on our Hands....

This looks like an interesting model project, although how they thought it was a V4 I do not know.

Wow. 

I literally posted a link to that kit in another thread for GRM to purchase, build and review. It's literally a kit from Wish haha. I felt it looked surprisingly good. 

A similar video:

I don’t think I could build that kit without putting at least a little lube on the bearings!

Any way to see the listing without creating a Wish account and logging in ?

Aw, man..I wish.

I've been declared essential (TV Master Control staff), and can't stay home even long enough to join Javelin's model car contest. That thing is amazing!

Pay more from a different vendor?

Who has time on their hands? This is the busiest I have ever been!  A cool model though.

What's the price on Wish?

In reply to SVreX (Forum Supporter) :

About $400

Thanks

Banggood.com carries them. 

Aluminum 4 Cylinder.

I have bought a couple of their hit and miss engines and been pretty impressed with the quality. These actually run.

Video of it running.

I think you have an extra 0 there as I get it for $36 before shipping

I found two, one was 393 and the other was 403 or something like that.  If you can find one for $36 I would get it in a heartbeat.

I agree. 
 

$150 is my cutoff. If they are $400, not interested. If they are $36, my daughter and I are starting a project...

Wish shows $240 for me when clicking through from the Google Shopping tab.

I just let it create an account for me using a Google Email, here's what shows up:

 

Item Total

$216.00

Shipping

$80.00

Tax

$24.24

Order Total

$320.24

Man 2 weeks ago when I shared them in the other thread they were under $40, apparently the model market is jumping. If only I had stocked up on them as a futures market.

Anywhere above that you may as well build one of the real engines waiting in the garage....
