| 543987 | 2007-04-26 02:14:00 | A dedication, I prefer . . . . just imagine the little piston rings and the little valve retainers! I in particular loved the working tach and oil pressure gauge . I wonder if it has a full circulation cooling system? It didn't seem like he left it running too long . . . maybe it gets a little hot with no coolant . |

| 543988 | 2007-04-26 03:05:00 | That is really cool :D LOADS of work has gone into that :horrified Yes Joe, it will have a working cooling system, he did say it was an EXACT scale model :p |

| 543990 | 2007-04-26 03:52:00 | It's getting the scaled-down cooling water that is tricky...... :rolleyes: you just put less water in it :p same with the oil and petrol :rolleyes: | The_End_Of_Reality (334) | ||
| 543991 | 2007-04-26 05:33:00 | Howw sad. All that time and effort and he can't drive it. | pctek (84) | ||
| 543992 | 2007-04-26 07:31:00 | you just put less water in it :p same with the oil and petrol :rolleyes: Whoa - would putting less sparkplugs in a scaled down engine work? Half a tire on a 1/8 size model.? Are you trying to ruin my campaign to sell micro-water? :mad: (It can also be used to make ice cubes for mini-bars.) ;) |

| 543993 | 2007-04-26 07:35:00 | "less" volume = 1/27th for a 1/3 linear scale. This has all sorts of implications. The wind resistance would be 1/9th, but the motive power would be 1/27th. |

Are you trying to ruin my campaign to sell micro-water? :mad: (It can also be used to make ice cubes for mini-bars.) ;) No, I never said that, sparkplugs and tires can be made smaller, water can't (as much as I hate to put a damper on your campaign :p) |
