Tinking of build Amphibious vehicle with .049 engine
I do not know that it has already been done Not wit the cox engine I believe that it is possible to make or to convert a model I want to build it 4x4 with a propeller at the back Use the worm screw system like wit the cox bugy Currently this is just an idea I'm looking for design suggestions Ideal would be to convert a static model To rc

Re: Tinking of build Amphibious vehicle with .049 engine
I always have a project that involves an airplane to be completed but I really want a vehicle capable of passing water to sand easily capable of good speed when I am looking for an amphibious vehicle I find models all the crazier one after the other But some model catches my eye After having thought about it
A AMPHIBIOUS SCHWIMMWAGEN, Are too elaborate with the independent suspension This model seems to me better done But after looking carefully, I found three other good models like this one us army

Re: Tinking of build Amphibious vehicle with .049 engine
David, have you ever considered the Nikko Vaporizr. It's a sort of RC VW Beetle that can drive on land and swim in the water. There is no propeller but the ribs on the wheels do the propulsion in the water. Steering is like a tank. You can stop both left wheels or right wheels to turn, so no steering front wheels. My daughter has one and it's good fun. With your skills, I'm sure you can change the motor for a Cox engine. The body comes off easily.

Re: Tinking of build Amphibious vehicle with .049 engine
Well, I had ruled out the idea of a caterpillar model like with some tank models or the Kyosho blisard
Which would be much more difficult to build from nothing This is possible as long as only one motor is usedUse a kind of planetary differential with brakes on each side It's possible just more difficult to build
I like military models Another model that I have considered but discarded the soviet brdm or big 6x6 dukw
I want him to be quick on the water Not To fast just a bit faster than scale model

If u use a secondary shaft with a differential, you can brake the left or the right side.
