Steam Powered RC Car

Saw this over at Gizmodo. AMAZING!! DO WANT!!! :eek:

-_-...

My wallet says no as my heart says yes...

Very cool... just wish it had more steam. heh.

oh there are tons around on youtube, theres even a guy on my other forums who makes RC tanks and trains and what not.









Name is Crabfu.

The Steam powered RC Steam train is the coolest though!

I'm actually due to be making a steam engine some time in the next few months!

nice!

don't blow your fingers off in a 1:10 scale boiler explosion and best of luck.

Well, it's an old design, but I expect it to have a pressure release valve! I'll see if I can get the engineering drawings when I go up. And if I can, I'll also make a CAD model of it!

oh cool


don't forget about steam boats, i think those are probably the coolest out of all the rc vehicles.. well besides the steam powered steam trains.

those are the absolute coolest.

Well, I'm back from a tech support trip for my grandparents, and I have pieces for the steam engine and scans to build the engine (which includes all of the drawings). The book it comes from is quite rare it seems now. It's called "Step by Step Metalwork 3" by Kenneth Wells.

The extra good news, I have a steam engine that has been completed which I know runs, so I'll be firing up that engine tomorrow!
