Ask a Question About This Product
Quick answer
This is a 1:3-scale electric motor-driven flat-six (boxer-six) assembly and display kit. It is built from more than 200 pieces and demonstrates piston and linkage motion when powered by two AA batteries. It is not a gasoline engine, does not burn fuel and is not a working automotive turbocharger. Choose it for a larger hands-on mechanical display, not for propulsion or power generation.
What the kit demonstrates
In a horizontally opposed six-cylinder layout, two banks of three cylinders face each other across the crankshaft. The opposite arrangement creates a distinctive wide profile and makes the crank-and-piston relationship visible in this educational model. The included turbo-style assembly adds a recognizable visual component, but no real forced-induction or combustion performance is claimed. The supplier also describes simulated engine sound.
Build, size and contents

Assembly and operating checklist
- Reserve a clean table large enough to lay out and sort the numbered pieces.
- Read the manual before fitting the first moving parts; separate hardware into small trays.
- Assemble the crankshaft, cylinders and linkages in the specified order and confirm that moving parts are free of obstruction.
- Install the two matching AA batteries with correct polarity only after the mechanism is assembled.
- Test briefly, then place the model on a stable display surface away from table edges.
Safety and expectations
The supplier recommends age 16+. Small parts, moving linkages and batteries require careful handling. Keep fingers, hair and loose clothing away while running. Do not force a jammed mechanism; switch it off, remove batteries and inspect alignment. Do not mix old and new batteries or battery chemistries, and remove batteries before long-term storage. The model is an educational display rather than a certified vehicle component. Assembly results and simulated sounds are not claims of combustion, horsepower or real turbo boost. It is not officially affiliated with any automotive brand unless such licensing is expressly stated by the supplier.
Frequently asked questions
Does it run on gasoline?
No. An electric motor powers the display mechanism.
Are batteries included?
No. The supplier specifies two AA batteries, sold separately.
Is the turbocharger functional in a real engine?
No real forced-induction capability is claimed; the turbo-style parts are for this model display.
How long does assembly take?
The supplier estimates 3–4 hours, depending on experience.
Is this a finished ready-to-run model?
No. It is a DIY assembly kit with parts, tools and instructions.
