Thanks!

@Dale Gribble: butane gas

@ThunderbirdJunkie: yes, they are. Most solid axles on the market for the ultra heavy weight of my steamcars (7 - 10 kg each)

btw: may i introduce you the driver:

Yes, but only inhouse. We have a sibirian winter, so my car would burst outside into seconds.

Time for some aesthetic:

btw: the chassis is needed for stabilysing.

btw2: what colour would you prefer. Shell i paint it pink like the last two?

Wonderful, but, no pink, please! I will definitely be following this one as well...

Maybe kind of a gunmetal grey?

I'm thinking this one should be painted to look like a bunch of guys 200 years after a nuclear war build it from whatever scrap was laying around. Some sort of steampunk post-apoclyptic dune buggy.

....because of some questions:

How-To Steamcar:

1. Take 1 steam engine (here: SUN from Stuart Turner) with 2 pistons:

2. Combine it with 1 Tamiya gearbox:

3. Take 1 boiler (Regner) with 1 oiler:

4. Advantageous are 4 tires and 2 Tamiya-axles from a dump-truck, further 1 yellow gas tank:

5. Go to your refrigerator and remove the door. Cut the sheet into form, use 1 model if you are not shure:

Thats all. 5 servos and 1 rc are required. And some money, all in all someting about € 1.500.

We have a sibiric winter. I could not test the car outside, it would burst into seconds. But it runs shortly in the house. It is fast. I will make a video if we survive the cold.

Our winter rests without mercy. Our food is running out. Thank good we have still some animals to eat in our home. But they are decimated brutally, only two are still alive:

I have further some leather-belts. But what shall we eat next?

No problem. But what subject? Please mark:

O my defect tires in the change of thousands of years

O my boilers in the darkness

O my steam-engines 5 miles out of sight

O my wife as god created her

O my robot-driver after sex transformation (OK, here it is
