Hamster size Lawn Mower Racer?

(smaller scale than human size )

for a human size lawn mower racer how to:

or....you could use just one cylinder of an old airplane radial engine?

Odd little build.........why not use a Harley motor? Maybe from a 1/35 kit . Of course the drive for the blade will be interesting , lay the v-twin on its side and run some velocity stack/injectors straight up and exhaust pipes up to the moon and then...Ahh I give up!

I will build a push mower kind, not a little tractor...

A Hamster engine on it? Could work! I need to think about!!!

 

 

 

 

I have decided to go "wild" with it...

Soooopah!

That's usually the most fun.

Agree!!!

Because I will put a V8, I need to add some brake, safety always in the first place!!! :)

Add disc brake, the red things it is the caliper, and the other level is for regulate the height.

i put a little generator in the back of my model ute, which would make a fairly realistic engine for a mower, if that was the way you wanted to go. can't remember where ii got it, but it was aftermarket model supply, its white metal.

Thank you for the suggestion. But I will put on it a HEMI, I think from a 69 Charger... {:)]

The gas powered RC model airplane engine would get the most smiles, especially when you fire it up and it sounds like a lawnmower!!......now if it was drivable with a remote and had a cutting blade!!oOHOHOOooo look out!

Some color... It is Arcadia Green from Duplicolor. Looks not to bad, I think to have a green/chrome scheme on it.

Here a mock up with the engine. The engine could be build in 3 way, stock, custom and competition. The competition one has a blower.
So I though this is a crazy idea to put a V8 on a lawn mower, so why don't make a good crazy job using a blower... And after, I remember that I saw a engine with two blowers, so two it is better than one, and I went in this directions...

Let me know what you think...

If I may suggest,

Google Ed "Big Daddy" Roth, check the stuff he made and look at the way he proportioned the individual parts in his creations-especially the small vehicles..

here's one site on his cars.

You may also obtain ideas from similar designers who created some of the re-issue 1960s show vehicles.

That may give you better inspiration than anything else..

I love Ed Roth! Soon I'll post some pics of the Blown Mover, because it is ready!!! :)

thats awesome! reminds me of Tim "the tool man" Taylor lol when he supped up his mower to race Bob Vila

Thank you!

Some picture of the Blown Mower finished...

Just for safety... :)

Under it...

I built a box for carry it around... :)

Thank you for looking!!!

Thank you!

I think it can compete in the drag race category...

Superb detailing...I especially like the fine detail on the handle (including the cable ) and the shark mouth on front.

I    agree! Good stuff to point out--the details really do make it.

Now,how much to get my lawn mowed?

 I bet you could get alot of them done pretty quick with that baby! 

Thank you all!

I charge only gas!!!

Brizio

Thank you all!

I charge only gas!!!

I'd have thought nitromethane !

Under it...

 

Safety? If it doesn't roll over with the torque the second it's started, it'll sling a rock faster and farther than a 16" 50cal on an Iowa class battleship!!

Safety, I was referring a the stickers Danger on the side. I don't want nobody are injured by fly grass or rocks... :)

In the second pics you can see also (on the top left under the shift lever), a chrome lever, that one is for release the brake if it is pushed. :)

Brizio---ha hah hahahahah!!! You make me laugh--in a good way, for sure! Your creativity and imagination is one of our biggest modeling assets!

BRAVO! What a fun, cool little project! It looks EXCELLENT!

You'd have to stop for gas every two rotations around the yard though, lol!

This is really a great little build!
