GRC F76 1/10 Scale 1976 427 SOHC V8 Engine Motor Heatsink Kit for RC Cars
Hero Section: Inject American Muscle into Your RC Crawler
Does your 1/10 scale rig look tough on the outside but toy-like under the hood? It’s time to change that. The GRC F76 isn't just an accessory; it’s a tribute to the golden era of horsepower. modeled after the legendary 1976 427 SOHC V8, this kit transforms your standard electric motor into a masterpiece of mechanical detail. Whether you are building a rock crawler, a drift car, or a vintage truck, this engine kit adds the soul of a V8 to your electric chassis, combining stunning aesthetics with high-performance cooling.
Why Choose the GRC F76 V8 Engine Kit?
- Form Meets Function: This is the perfect marriage of scale realism and practical utility. While it looks like a vintage combustion engine, it functions as a high-efficiency heatsink. It hides the boring round can of your electric motor while actively cooling it.
- The 427 Legend: Every curve and bolt is designed to replicate the iconic 1976 427 Single Overhead Cam (SOHC) engine. From the valve covers to the intake manifold, the details are sharp and authentic, perfect for "hood-popping" photos.
- Active Cooling Power: Don't let the retro look fool you. Inside the engine block are dual high-speed fans spinning at 13,000 RPM. They blast air directly onto your motor, preventing heat soak during intense crawling or high-speed runs.
- Universal Fit: Designed with versatility in mind, this kit fits most standard 36mm diameter RC motors (3650/3660 size) and works with standard 2S-3S LiPo setups. It’s an easy upgrade for most 1/10 scale electric vehicles.
Technical Highlights: Engineering for Hobbyists
- Dual Fan System: The integrated fans are rated for 9V and deliver massive airflow. They come pre-wired with a standard JST plug, allowing for plug-and-play operation with your receiver or external BEC.
- Hybrid Construction: The kit utilizes a mix of Metal and high-quality ABS plastic. This ensures the structure is lightweight enough not to upset your car's center of gravity while remaining durable enough for trail use.
- DIY Assembly: Delivered as a KIT, this product offers the satisfaction of building your own engine. It allows you to understand the structure and gives you the freedom to paint or weather the components for a custom, greasy workshop look.

Usage Scenario: The Trailhead Showoff
You’ve just conquered a difficult rocky incline with your scale crawler. You park at the top and your friends gather around. Instead of seeing a generic silver motor can, you pop the hood to reveal a bright red 427 V8. As the dual fans whir, keeping your electronics cool, you aren't just driving a toy; you're driving a miniature machine with heart. It’s the ultimate detail that separates a standard build from a master-class scale model.
Important Tips from the Workshop
- Check Your Clearance: This engine kit adds height and width to your motor. Before purchasing, measure the space under your car body (hood) to ensure there is enough clearance for the intake and valve covers.
- Assembly Required: This is a KIT version. You will need to assemble the engine block around your motor. It’s a fun process that takes about 15-30 minutes.
- Power Source: The fans are powerful. Ensure your power source (receiver or battery) can handle the load. For 3S LiPo users, ensure the voltage does not exceed the fan's tolerance to prevent burnout.
