benz d3

[lowietje]

today a runner
my model Benz d3 (a copy scale 5:1)from the drawings on this forum started after a throw or 2
have a view at http://knutselhaas.hyves.nl/album/51845915/benz_d3/n8AzwKw-/
to make i used some scrap stainless and normal steel,aluminium trespa for the wheel rims and 2mm welding rod for the spooks.
for the scaling i used the high of the seed to the floorplate at 50 cm
the engine has a throw of 4 cm and a piston diameter off 21 mm

That's a wonderful build Lowietje. The wheels look great. What are you using for an ignition?

That is just a fabulous build. :bow: :bow: :bow: Two Benz showing up in one month. That's great.

Your small engine sounds just like the full size one in the POM.

[lowietje]

Thanks but still a lot to do.
this project is now almost a year on going but the last bits are taking the most time.
The drive belt is hard to make in this scale to get it relay working.
O rings have to big slip ,i am use a belt from a old printer now but it is a bit to long.

Lowietje,

Very nice interpretation of the Benz.

Have you considered making it radio controlled?

Thanks for sharing.

Fantastic model.

 

[cfellows]

Really beautiful work. What kind of carburetor did you use?

How about a nice scale man with a servo operated arm to drive it, to save all the running about.

by the way it is very very nice..
