Everytime I see those engines I just ask why, they always seem to just be on a test stand. Then this guy dedicates his life to building a 1/4 monster truck using one of these 609 v8s with a BLOWER on it.....and people think we are crazy with our boats

Pure awesomeness. It was only running on 6 in one of the earlier videos. Here it is being tuned and running on all 8. It sounds like full scale!

I guess ill never understand.
For $7000 he could buy an adult sized v8 with a blower....

The cost of that 1/4 scale truck he could prob find a buggy chassis or lifted Chevy roller.....

Gear nerd

of course some of you have $10,000 stereos that play the same songs as my $5 garage sale stereo. sometimes you just have to say ' what the f**k and go for it'. toys are toys and some people buy $5k propellers and some buy blown 1/4 scale V8's. either way you have to marval at the work to make it.

While I agree with you, one hopes this dude has a full size bad ass toy as well.

If you have a big smoke boat, and you want a r/c boat you are going to make sure it is bad ass as well.

However, if you spent the last 10 years in your basement building a 1/4 gravedigger, but a hyundai accent is your only other toy in the barn, well then you might just be a gear nerd
