FID isnt a new company, they’ve been around for quite a few years, i have the fid dragon hammer, its a 1/5 scale gas powered 4x4 ultra4 style buggy with ifs and a solid rear axle

I'm having the same issue with the hall sensor. How did you make it work?

Is yours the red or orange version? Thanks

Would 10w40 work?

ONly seen 1 other. Blue, white ragtop restored it late 80s. THats one rare bird hate to see you get rid of it. Sometimes its nice just owning something cool. Price....sky is the limit, bet it would bid up more than you think. What Id give to get that back on teh road!

There was a thin black O ring that came with my engine that fits over the distributer housing that seals between the block and the distributer.

Hi it is a pleasure contact you. Several days ago I bought a gas conversion kit for toyan fs l200 but no works. Can you help me? Thanks

Flat six needed for a perfect scale 911!

Completely irrelevant to the video, on my fs-l200, on both cylinders the exhaust valve is crack open, when I take off the rocker arms and push the valve down they go back closed. I also noticed with the rocker arms off, the valve bucket on one of the cylinders for the exhaust sits higher then the rest but when I put the rocker arm back on and spin the cam over, so the valve opens then closes, the valve stays cracked open on both cylinders and the bucket sits flush with the intakes. And what I mean by cracked is it’s slightly open and I can blow through the exhaust when the valve is supposed to be closed. Does yours or anyone else’s do this or did something go wrong with the manufacturing and the valve stems are too long? And what can I do to fix it if it’s not supposed to be like this?

Rpm seems good nice install. Would love to see more about the engine mounting process..

this man is no good. talk too much BS. If you want sell this product you need diferent man yo assembly it.

Your chevy is looking good!

Hey man, it looks like you are getting inconsistent oil through that front oil line. Thats what it looked like anyway.

Buenas llegaste a arrancarlo ? Los puntos de sincronización donde los tengo que poner ?

I thought that rc car was a real one sitting in the background initially!

what fuel do u use

Thanks for sharing Dennis !! keep on trucking!

Love this build. Sounds amazing! The orange pops against the tar. What did you end up using for wheels and tires? I used the slightly small grp tires/wheels on my pan car chassis. Thanks!

Yessir the cison engine is the best ones out and the inline 6 is fire too

top shelf Dennis! Watched a couple of your videos today. I wish I could get mine to start ! Had a doa Speed controller, a dead Hall effect sensor, and a Cinson CDI that wouldnt connect to hall sensor cable. All from the enginesdiy factory. Got that taken care of. Still wont run.. Had a couple of almost starts !! Then the starter motor smoked. Bought a new one from Stirlingkit. Using a 6s lipo for start (22.2v), and a 3s lipo for ignition (11.1v). using a 80a speed controller with a servo ctrl to crank it.

Anyone have an idea what the compression ratio is in the Cison? Manufacturer couldn't tell me.

That is badass

The Cison OHV V8 is my favorite. I have ordered the flat-head version as well. When you run your Cison V8, keep an eye on the oil flow. If it stops flowing and there's plenty of oil, check the oil pump. In mine, the drive gear in the oil pump came loose from the shaft. The shaft has a "D" end on it but, the gear has a round bore not a "D" bore. High temp Loc-Tite has worked well for mine.

I think it's freaking awesome! my 18 inch Poulan chainsaw is a 42 cc two-stroke. All hp no torque. The v8 has the same displacement but a LOT more tourqe being a 4 stroke. 👍

You pronounced ozzie wrong, its like a combined oz and zee, oz zee. 😃

Hi Dennis, Great video, very informative. My friend has an original Tamiya 4x4 Hilux (the smaller wheeled one). and the left front steering arm has sheared/ broken off. Can this be repaired/ glued back somehow, or is the only option being to replace it with an original part? In your video I think you say also that you can replace it with a later Bruiser part? is that right? and are they left and right handed?

Send him one and dose it give more power

Yah we want to race with them and south Africa is in need of these engine's and force induction

Good vidio original v8 an new

Yo how much would you sell it for

Like the details and the sound look like 1,5 scale ish

the main difference is a 2 stroke carb meters air and a 4 stroke carb meters fuel

So did you buy these?.

here's a thought - with all those top end leaks sounds like too much crankcase pressure , try building a vac-u-pan system weld a 1/4" tube throw the side of the collector at a 45 degree angle to the center - with the hole open behind the exhaust flow (this will cause vacuum , run a hose to the valve cover Note: you will have to have , some sort of check valve "on full size we use a back fire valve, used on all early smog systems (this will stop your oil leaks) . . . . . have fun

Dennis build some unique models with this engines👍🏻! We can all run them on the bench but we want them in cars and models

Dennis you got any builds with these motors in like you used to ? I got semto engine in in Tamiya Hilux now,not that fast but reliable and gear change works well 👍🏻

To bad the China engine looks like a SB Chevy but with a front Dist like a ford nice job china also seem to run on the bench but just dont make good power when put in a car not good for the $$ IMO I NEVER SAW ONE REALLY RUNNING JUST PUTTING AROUND have you had any luck getting them to make power to move a rc you can use ? i gave up after the 4cly

Did you say that you were double douche bag?

Did it sleep on pillow, Jezz I really want one. And I must say your looking well. Good to see

someone needs to mount one of these engines to a paper shredder just the concept of someone in a busy office firing up their v8 powered shredder makes me laugh

its crazy how these v8 models have advanced so much over the last few years it was not long ago your only options were to make it yourself

There are so many unskilled people nagging about these engines while they don't even know what they are dealing with. Good point you raised 👍

I'm currently waiting on my cison to come in. Been doing alot of homework on the cison and still haven't found any info on the forced lubrication for the rockers

Nice engines! So which one makes more power out of the 2? Those Australia engines are super expensive around 5-7K correct? Did you ever have a Conley engine from back in the day when he made them here in USA? I’ve always wanted one , but lots of coin !

Dennis, both engines deserve an ovation! The aussie engine was the second to connelly and the bison is a refined sibling of both predecessors. Just having both on the table makes a guy salavate! Fantastic information Dennis. Hope mine gets here soon. Time to fire up the cnc. Want to make an all aluminum chassis with some speed parts.

The Australian made V8 is the same design as a 1st generation Conley. Note the gap between the intake and the block. They were great back in the day but their time has come and gone. I have owned , rebuilt and sold a lot of the Conley nitro V8 engines over the years so I know them inside and out. They were always said to be 1/4 scale but I would call them 1/5 scale. In a true scale 1/4 scale RC car, like your 57 sitting there, the Conley engines simply look small. Conley had 1/4 scale cars designed around this engine so everything looked in scale. The biggest problem with the nitro V8 is the oil from the nitro fuel is all over the inside of the engine so if it's going to sit after it's been run you need to flush all of that oil out of the inside of the engine. Let it sit for a few months not flushed out and that oil dries out and will lock up the engine with sticky castor oil. Yuch ! The title to one of old videos of a Conley Funny Car is on my channel titled Conley V8. Somewhere down the road I will get one of the China V8's. Love this channel 👍👍

They have many differences but they are very similar, very cool👌🏻

This is such a cool channel! I've never messed with that big of an RC engine always wanted to

What kind of motor did you have in the engine bay?

What chassis did you use for the skyline to have the engine in the front? Best regards.
