TOYAN FS-V400WA 14cc V4 Water Cooled Methanol Engine Model for RC Cars and Boats
Hero Section: The Growl of a V4, Now Water-Cooled
There is nothing quite like the exhaust note of a V4 engine—a complex, rhythmic growl that separates the toys from the machines. The TOYAN FS-V400WA represents the pinnacle of miniature engine evolution. By integrating a high-efficiency water-cooling system into the legendary V4 architecture, TOYAN has created an engine that doesn't just look aggressive; it runs cooler, lasts longer, and screams harder. Whether you are building a 1/8 scale supercar, a high-speed RC boat, or simply curating a museum of mechanical art on your desk, this engine is the beating heart you’ve been waiting for.
Why Choose the TOYAN FS-V400WA?
- Limited Edition Engineering: This is a rare production run (limited batch). Owning one puts you in an exclusive club of modelers who appreciate the complexity of a multi-cylinder methanol engine.
- Integrated Mechanical Water Pump: Unlike other models that require messy external electric pumps, the FS-V400WA features a built-in, engine-driven mechanical water pump. This ensures the cooling flow increases with RPMs—exactly when you need it most—while keeping your setup clean and compact.
- Redesigned for Power: This isn't just a facelift. The compression ratio has been optimized, and the new carburetor design allows the engine to breathe freely, pushing the redline to a screaming 12,500 RPM.
- The Ultimate Gift for Gearheads: For the man who loves mechanics, this is more than a gift; it’s a project. It offers the deep satisfaction of tuning, maintaining, and operating a complex internal combustion engine.
Technical Highlights: Precision Under Pressure
- Annular Water-Cooled Cylinders: The engine block features an integrated annular water channel. This wraps the combustion chamber in a jacket of coolant, dissipating heat far more efficiently than air fins ever could. This allows for extended run times without the power fade caused by heat soak.
- High-Strength Crankshaft: To handle the torque of four cylinders firing, the crankshaft is machined from a single piece of high-strength steel. It ensures smooth power delivery and reduces vibration at high speeds.
- Methanol Powerhouse: With a total displacement of 14cc (3.5cc x 4), this engine produces 3.2PS. The 4-stroke cycle provides realistic torque and a sound that is music to any petrolhead's ears.

Usage Scenario: The Garage Symphony
It’s Saturday morning. You have the FS-V400WA mounted on your test stand or inside your custom RC chassis. You fill the tank with nitro fuel, connect the water lines to the radiator, and press the starter button. The electric starter whirs, and then—VROOOM. The V4 catches life, settling into a menacing idle. As you open the throttle, the mechanical water pump spins faster, keeping the engine cool as the RPMs climb. The smell of exhaust, the sound of the valves, the vibration—it’s a sensory experience that digital gadgets simply cannot replicate.
Important Tips from the Workshop
- Base Not Included: Please note that this product is the engine only. You will need to mount it to a base or an RC chassis.
- Cooling Loop: While the pump is internal, you will need to connect an external radiator and reservoir (sold separately or DIY) to complete the cooling loop.
- Fuel Selection: This engine runs on Methanol model engine fuel (Nitro). We recommend high-quality fuel with appropriate oil content for lubrication.
- Break-in is Crucial: Like a real car, this engine needs a break-in period. Run it rich at lower RPMs for the first few tanks to ensure the piston rings seat perfectly for maximum compression and longevity.
