Lars from Norway -> My chainsaw project (7/1/2008 2:38 PM)

Some pics of my homemade car,I let them speak for themself!Quote the pic(s) and ask/comment if theres something you want to ask about.I started building this a couple of years ago,soon finished with it.Have tried different things during the buildingprocess,as different engines (both with and without the housing) and brakes,so it might be a little confusing to watch[:D]The engine is a Jonsered 44 ccm chainsaw and the gears are FG,the parts are mostly made of myself as frame,steeringparts,brackets and so on.Havent bothered with the suspension as this was supposed to be a fun project,not a serious one[;)]



Lars from Norway -> RE: My chainsaw project (7/1/2008 2:51 PM)

Have also used a 36 ccm Jonsered engine without the housing,the plan was to use this but it died so I went for the 44 ccm,had to rebuild the engine mounts and crossmember as you will see later.

i salute you!!



Lars from Norway -> RE: My chainsaw project (7/1/2008 3:02 PM)

More pics!



Lars from Norway -> RE: My chainsaw project (7/1/2008 3:08 PM)

Here are some pics from when I started installing the new engine



Smartechracing -> RE: My chainsaw project (7/1/2008 3:30 PM)

Wow It's Cool man



Lars from Norway -> RE: My chainsaw project (7/1/2008 4:27 PM)

Made a killswitch for it too,which goes through the panel between the bonnet and the front window(where its usually placed on the 1/1-scale cars)"På" means on,and "av" means,yeah,you guess[:D]The blue wire you can see in the previous posts is the wire from the engine to the switch,and back to the engine.Look closely and you'll see the arm on the switch moves to off-posision when the eccentric wheel on the "key" is turned



sam123 -> RE: My chainsaw project (7/1/2008 6:20 PM)

An incredible amount of work must have gone into this! well done!

Just wondering, did the first chainsaw engine you used ever overheat because of not having the case?



elf232 -> RE: My chainsaw project (7/1/2008 6:46 PM)

Thats sick man!

Im working on a similar project, but i keep running into the problem with gears and transmission, where did you get your design?

How much of this stuff had to be machined?

What tools did you use?



elf232 -> RE: My chainsaw project (7/1/2008 6:48 PM)

Also i dont see any bearings on axle beside the wheel. Are they inside the wheel itself?

No,I dont think so.It never got the time to get hot either I think[:)]I made a case for it by using roof gutters and similar stuff(he he)but the engine got very difficult to start,compression was down too.Several hours of work for nothing...Therefore I decided to get a new engine with casing,pull start and everything

Here you can see the bearing on the rear axle!

The design of the "gearbox" popped up in my head,first i was thinking of using chains and sprockets,then i was thinking of using toothed belts and wheels,but found it both very expensive and difficult.Suddenly i thought of my FG Marder,"why cant i use gearwheels like that?" so i ordered some straightaway!I am using 30X10 mm bearings on the axles in the gearboks.Machined it all by myself with a electric jigsaw,drill,hacksaw,file and some other tools.Had to use a lathe on the gearcarrier for the gear on the rearaxle



turbodremz23 -> RE: My chainsaw project (7/1/2008 9:22 PM)

that looks amazing..very nice...

now i really want to see a video of that running



elf232 -> RE: My chainsaw project (7/1/2008 9:52 PM)

What model are those gears from? (or where you got them from)

(I know you mentioned that model of car that you had but am not sure if you meant that those are the exact gears from that)



Lars from Norway -> RE: My chainsaw project (7/1/2008 10:06 PM)

Its gears from FG,can be bought at every FG-dealer.I use 20-46-16-48(the two last ones are steel,i stripped the teeth of the plastic ones i had there on the testrun[:D])



Lars from Norway -> RE: My chainsaw project (7/2/2008 12:07 PM)

Here's some pics of the brake,the one you see on the previous pics wasnt working good enough,so i had to borrow some leftover/spareparts from my Marder.
When fully applied,its almost impossible to turn the wheels[;)]



reaganreagan -> RE: My chainsaw project (7/2/2008 1:41 PM)

Man bet that was a pretty complicated project. I am sure you have been hit up for some videos of it. Lotta great pics thanks for sharing them with us. And I can see how that would take two years to build. Great job man.

r2



Lars from Norway -> RE: My chainsaw project (7/2/2008 1:55 PM)

Thanks a lot! I still have some creativity left [:D] The only drawing i've made for it was the uprights and the clutchbell,too many dimensions to remember[:)] A place where i used to work have been so kind to me and let me borrow their lathe,or else this project wouldnt have existed i think.



Lars from Norway -> RE: My chainsaw project (7/4/2008 5:25 PM)

Maybe you wanna see the body too,i almost forgot that[:D]It is a Ford Capri mk1,i have painted it and made the decals myself.The rims in gold and silver was just a test,but they will stay on for a while[;)]I had some wheels lying around,so i thought i could try to paint them.Had to paint them with tires on,therefore its a birough in the edges.I post a pic of the original car too to have something to compare it with



DarkFire989 -> RE: My chainsaw project (7/4/2008 5:27 PM)

WOW! Thats a sweet body! Nice paint job too[:D]



Smartechracing -> RE: My chainsaw project (7/4/2008 5:45 PM)

I like the carbody



splcrazy -> RE: My chainsaw project (7/5/2008 6:23 AM)

wow that looks so good , it looks like you bought it like already as an RTR lol . that reminds me of those contrast neo's .

Hey can you tell me what that alloy cannister is near the air filter ? looks like a NOS bottle



Lars from Norway -> RE: My chainsaw project (7/5/2008 2:14 PM)

Thanks guys!
Yeah,i've been told about the NOS-bottle before[:D]The bottle was supposed to be the gastank,but since i changed the engine to the latter one i didnt needed it as the tank was integrated in the housing.



xhaliex -> RE: My chainsaw project (7/5/2008 11:24 PM)

kul bil

"hjemmelaga" fra radiostyrt forum?



savagecommander -> RE: My chainsaw project (7/6/2008 4:59 AM)

very nice build, i think you need some suspension to soak up the bumps! that thing will pick up all kinds of speed then KABANG! and we have liftoff!
