1:10 scale V8 Engine Block fits over 540 style rc motor

This is the conversion of an idea from user Klampykixx. I've converted the V8 receiver box to hide your 540 style electric motor, and it's finally ready! This database only includes parts that are different from the original V8 receiver box. You can use all engine accessories from the V8 receiver box. Check out this model at http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:842254. It works with standard or modified 540 engines (35.8mm diameter, 50mm length). I've added openings for power cables in front of the engine block. Some modifications may be needed after printing, depending on your electric motor. Have fun! If you want to upgrade your receiver box with a blower, carburetor, or realistic-looking headers, visit my homepage! The last two pictures show some engine block upgrades that are not part of this database but can be found on my website: https://www.printable-3d-models.com/de/3d-druckvorlagen/3D-druckbares-rc-zubehoer/upgradekits-fuer-die-chevy-smallblock-receiverbox. 12.04.2016: I've added low-polygon model files for faster slicing. 06.03.2017: The UNDEAD did a remix of the engine block with vent holes for better cooling and increased wall thickness around the electric motor. Find this model at http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2153072! 01.03.2018: Steven Petrusovski made some awesome modifications to the engine block, separating the cylinder heads from the block so you can print them in different colors! These files are now part of this database, and I'm super thankful for that cool idea, Steven!
