Awesome! What's the fuel source for the steam generation?



Lars from Norway -> RE: Desert B two and a half: Steamcar in progress (1/19/2012 11:35 PM)

I am already looking forward to see more of this mobile powerplant :)



378 -> RE: Desert B two and a half: Steamcar in progress (1/21/2012 7:06 AM)

Oh wow. This thing looks quick.



ThunderbirdJunkie -> RE: Desert B two and a half: Steamcar in progress (1/21/2012 6:34 PM)

YES! Subscribed!

Are those TXT-1/Juggernaut axles?



prallplatte -> RE: Desert B two and a half: Steamcar in progress (1/21/2012 9:03 PM)

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?



supertib -> RE: Desert B two and a half: Steamcar in progress (2/4/2012 1:11 PM)

No pink please !!!!

those are some awesome pieces of art...... !!!!!



quietnas1 -> RE: Desert B two and a half: Steamcar in progress (2/4/2012 2:44 PM)

Wow this thing is looking amazing. Can't wait to see it completed.



FahrtAutoRC -> RE: Desert B two and a half: Steamcar in progress (2/4/2012 4:09 PM)

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


Maybe kind of a gunmetal grey?



Ttam Says Blarg -> RE: Desert B two and a half: Steamcar in progress (2/4/2012 11:25 PM)

Pretty sick man!



378 -> RE: Desert B two and a half: Steamcar in progress (2/4/2012 11:51 PM)

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.



cummins driver -> RE: Desert B two and a half: Steamcar in progress (2/5/2012 7:26 AM)

Thats awesome[8D]

Is that a tamiya 3 speed transmission driving the axles?



quietnas1 -> RE: Desert B two and a half: Steamcar in progress (2/5/2012 3:58 PM)

I would say look at the Mad Max Beyond Thunderdome movie and get some paint ideas fromm there.



prallplatte -> RE: Desert B two and a half: Steamcar in progress (2/9/2012 8:30 PM)

....because of some questions:

How-To Steamcar:

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

[IMG]http://i118.photobucket.com/albums/o115/voltax1/CIMG6390.jpg[/IMG]
 
2. Combine it with 1 Tamiya gearbox:

3. Take 1 boiler (Regner) with 1 oiler:
 
[IMG]http://i118.photobucket.com/albums/o115/voltax1/CIMG8509.jpg[/IMG]
 
4. Advantageous are 4 tires and 2 Tamiya-axles from a dump-truck, further 1 yellow gas tank:
 
[IMG]http://i118.photobucket.com/albums/o115/voltax1/CIMG8486.jpg[/IMG]
 
5. Go to your refrigerator and remove the door. Cut the sheet into form, use 1 model if you are not shure:
 
[IMG]http://i118.photobucket.com/albums/o115/voltax1/CIMG8501.jpg[/IMG]
 
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.
 



FahrtAutoRC -> RE: Desert B two and a half: Steamcar in progress (2/9/2012 10:05 PM)

Looking forward to seeing it! How much longer does your winter last? We aren't even having one in Ohio this year! 



prallplatte -> RE: Desert B two and a half: Steamcar in progress (2/11/2012 1:21 AM)

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:

[IMG]http://i118.photobucket.com/albums/o115/voltax1/CIMG8985.jpg[/IMG]

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

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:)
