Anyway, have plans for a ‘better’ one, this time using the large pneumatic
cylinders, but will wait until I get more BBB wheels ‘cause I don’t want to
take this one apart.
Let me know what you think, including any suggestions for improving the
functionality/looks of Big Blue

Hey David, very awesome! :-) I especially like the way you’ve secured the
cylinders, is it strong?
|
It isn’t the strongest, bot for this application, it keeps the cylinders in
direct line with the push rods, so it works. It has the added benefit of
keeping the pneumatic tubes more securely fastened to the input/output ports on
the cylinder
| |
Also, pretty neat idea to stop the air at the front
using the lever stick.
|
I saw that somewheres else years ago--probably CSSOH’s...
| |
About the slipping, how about putting rubber bands on the driver wheels? Or
would it cause the cylinders to stall?
|
That’s a fantastic idea! I’ll try. The taper on the BBB wheelsets may pose an
issue, but I’ll give it a go...
I tried mounting the large cylinders on the front of my engine--I relate to the
2 wide support--the big cylinders just ripped apart the entire front end. I
have another idea for the big cylinders that I’ll try soon...
| |
I guess I might have to buy some BBBwheels if I decide to try again.
|
The BBB wheels are fantastic for this application! And, again an added benefit,
they look fantastic
| |
Thanks for posting this, it’s really inspiring! :-)
|
Thanks!
