Default Home brew snow vids

Thought I'd post a vid featuring two of my projects: Craftsmanstein and Mini-Mo. It's a little long IMO, but I liked every second of it...more so the large scales than the electric, but it's all good.

Ah, Craftsmanstein was a 28 cc leafblower engine. A little on the heavy side, but still drives for a while with no overheating or problems. Reliability is why I keep it with that setup - pull the starter cord once or twice and it pops. The carb has enough suction to mount the gas tank low, unlike my other one, which requires significant pressure to keep it flowing.

It's funny you say that, because it was 4WD from the beginning!

The chain drives a sprocket that has dogbones going to both front and read diffs. I find that having 4WD is fun but is one of the reasons the car has such a high CG since there's little room to lower the engine with a driveshaft below it.
