Neat stuff though, for those who are into intricate little things.

i wish i was smart enough to pull that shit off!

drool....that's a lot of set screws to keep tight though.

I see erector-set parts, hahahaha

I thought my air-engine was cool, it looks like a piece of trash compared to this. Awesome.

It would be super bad ass in a nitro rc car.

this reminds me,

I need to build that tesla turbine......

I think this dude wins.

This one's a real oldie, and a repost, but it proves that there is absolutely nothing that any other human being can ever do to be The Best model maker.

^^^ I can not believe what I just saw. That is one of the most awesome things I've ever seen. Well... other than personally witnessing Hustlers mom working the Dallas Maverick's tour bus. :giggle:

^ Un-fuckin-believable

wow..........that is fucking awsome! sucks its so small that you cant drive it, maybe sombody can train a rat or a lil monkey to drive it!

Im guessing you were there assisting her by fluffing the guys before she serviced them?



:giggle:

That mini Ferrari... Awesome. I never found out if he got around to selling it and building something new.

Actually, my neice has a little battery-powered car which is about the same size as that Ferrari. What's interesting about this car is that it has two modes of operation; it can be controlled locally from the drivers' seat, or it can be controlled remotely by the parent, using an R/C car-style device.

R/C, anyone?

I'd rather see a monkey drive it.

I was in college, needed the money, and feeling experimental. Everyone was doing it. I didn't swallow!

Is that wrong?

Fluffers don't go that far....everyone knows that :bowrofl:
Just blame it on alcohol and you'll be fine.

:idea:Screw geyhound racing! we need about 20 monkeys on pocket bikes and a go kart track! Oh the mula you could make...... anyone in?
EDIT: btw i'll provide the monkeys...dont ask how

That is just absolutely nuts. :eek:


And it gets weirder...

A miniature supercharged V8:

(he revs it a few times. Amazing noise...)


More supercharged V8 goodness:



Possibly the best sound I have ever heard in my life:



A mini V12:


Some video from the construction of the V12:



A naturally aspirated V8, this one is almost microscopic:



An even smaller I4:



A 14 cyl radial RC airplane engine:



What it comes down to, basically, is that people have too much free time on their hands. :D
