RC 166 engine strip

Tamiya are supposed to be releasing a model RC166 engine, it's going have to be about 1/2 size to be able to be assembled, those valves are like nails on the real one

 

Would love to see the tiny parts in the five cylinder 125cc RC149. Both truly amazing bikes!

 

In my ignorance, I thought it was this motor for a second:
