MAD RC Motorized V8 Engine Model Kit for SCX10 II Capra VS4-10 Scale Crawler
Hero Section: What’s Under Your Hood?
You’ve spent hours tuning your suspension and perfecting the exterior of your rig. But when you pop the hood, is it just empty space and wires? The MAD RC V8 Engine Kit is the missing piece of the puzzle. It transforms your 1/10 scale crawler from a toy into a hyper-realistic machine. This isn't just a static block; it’s a motorized kinetic sculpture that spins, simulating the heartbeat of a real V8. Whether you are building a shelf queen or a trail-ready beast, this engine adds the ultimate layer of scale realism that separates the pros from the amateurs.
Why Choose the MAD RC V8 Engine Kit?
- Kinetic Realism: Unlike static resin prints, this engine moves. Powered by a small electric motor, the pulleys spin, the belts wind, and the cooling fan rotates. It simulates the idle of a real engine, bringing dynamic life to your model car.
- Designed for Crawlers: Specifically engineered for compatibility with popular chassis like the Axial AX90104, SCX10 II, Capra, and Vanquish VS4-10 Pro/Ultra. It fits snugly in the engine bay, replacing the empty void with mechanical beauty.
- The Joy of Building & Painting: The kit arrives pre-painted in silver, but it’s a blank canvas for your creativity. You can repaint the valve covers to match your rig’s livery—Chevy Orange, Ford Blue, or custom metallic. The DIY assembly process is a satisfying journey into mechanical structure.
- Full Bearing Structure: We didn't cut corners. Despite its mini size, the drive train utilizes a full bearing structure. This ensures stability, reduces friction, and guarantees reliable operation when you show it off on the trail.
Technical Highlights: Engineering in Miniature
- High-Precision 3D Printing: Utilizing advanced industrial-grade 3D printing technology, we’ve achieved details that injection molding often misses. From the layered cylinder heads to the intricate intake manifold, every bolt and fin is visible.
- Complete Accessory Simulation: It’s not just the block. This model features a simulated generator, air conditioning compressor, steering pump, water pump, and oil pan. It is a comprehensive lesson in automotive anatomy.
- Electric Simulation: While it mimics an internal combustion engine, it runs on electricity. It connects to your receiver or a separate power source to drive the internal motor, which spins the external flywheel and belts.

Usage Scenario: The Garage Session
It’s Friday night. You’re at the workbench with your favorite music playing. You carefully assemble the V8, admiring how the tiny belts fit over the pulleys. You decide to paint the block a deep metallic red to match your truck's body. The next day, at the local trail meet, you stop your crawler on a rock. You lift the body shell, and the crowd gathers. You flip a switch, and the V8 spins to life. That nod of approval from fellow hobbyists? That’s what this engine is all about.
Important Tips from the Workshop
- Mounting Brackets: Please note that this kit includes the engine itself. Depending on your specific chassis (SCX10, Capra, etc.), you may need to purchase a specific mounting bracket separately or fabricate a custom mount to ensure a perfect fit.
- Not a Power Source: This is a simulation model. It rotates to look cool, but it does not power the wheels of your RC car. Your car still needs its standard electric motor and transmission for movement.
- Handling 3D Prints: While durable, high-detail 3D printed parts can be sensitive to extreme heat or excessive force. Handle with care during assembly, and avoid over-tightening screws.
