Sorry Adrian not tried one, I suspect it would be a bit small for your engine bay
Box size is 42x30x11 cms. I will have a fiddle with one later to try to work out rough build sizePaul Redding

I had one similar when I was about 10yrs. they are great to learn about how engines work - perfect for a youngster interested in cars and engines
I assume it actually moves / runs (albeit on battery power)Duncan
