Build Thread Want to build an rc using cison v8

[Grim]

So i recently ordered the new cison v8 and am wondering what everyones thoughts are about it? Yes i know its expensive so i dont need to hear about the price tag, thats besides the point of getting it. I'm wondering how its durability and practicality is when it cpmes to its endurance and possible uses in an actual rc build? I just ordered one last week so I'm anxious to get it put together. The main thing would be having it as a for show or to have to fire up whenever i feel like hearing that mini v8 rumble, but i wouldnt mind having an actual rc running it. Any thoughts, recomendations, or experiences would be welcome and appretiated!



I also have a 32cc 4 cylinder inline 4 stroke but that i cpuld never get running, but i am close to it actually now, but last attempt i snapped the spark plug so I'm waiting on its replacement before i can work on it again. I guess it has rubber o rings which I'm guessing may be the issue besides the timing but as far as timing I'm getting that dialed in. Got a new distributor and now its showing a little more life than it didnt any previous fiddlings i did with it.

Any recommendations on a 1/6 scale tube frame for a gas powered chassis? I need to source some or find out if I'm better off just building one from scratch

you're out of my wheelhouse with that. I just stick to your typical nitro engines. It will be cool to see it built and whatever you end up sticking it in eventually. Keep us posted!

Yeah very true, i dont see this being something to outperform any of the more refined motors, this seems a just for show one. I also have a toyan fsl200. I know they pulled the toyan v8 cus of issues. And from a few sources I've found that the cison v8 has been having piston ring issues not making a good seal and getting water in the pistons, so people have been having to buy flourine piston rings which is a bummer cus i really liked that they used metal ones. Hopefully I'm lucky and get on that they fit properly
