Sam Cates Posted September 11, 2011 Posted September 11, 2011 With the "Grimm" Holiday coming up, I am looking to build something that a certain someone might be seen in. Something 1/25-1/24 with a totally wacko, nutty, crazy powerful drivetrain. Anyone out there have suggestions? Below is a representation of the ghastly entity that would be sitting behind the wheel.
Nitrozilla Posted September 11, 2011 Posted September 11, 2011 Three suggestions: Two semi-insane, the other totally whacked out. I don't recall seeing a 3 blower set up. I've seen doubles stacked or side by side, but not 3. You're gonna need to make you're own intake and a REALLY long blower belt. Probably wouldn't hurt to throw a turbo on there either. On Nitrous. Second is from the Sci-Fi side of my brain. How about a kitbashed Trek style warp core (upright or on it's side). Anything alien looking with lots of widgets and such. Third (and as previously mentioned) totally whacked out, would be a Geiger (Alien / Aliens, etc.) looking organic bio-mass snaking thru the hood and fenders. I accept all credit for accepted ideas and will deny any relation to the ones you hate. Have Phun Sam !!
Draggon Posted September 11, 2011 Posted September 11, 2011 A huge radial air cooled ariplane type of engine would look wild, and if you didnt hook it up to a drivetrain, it could have props made from machetes.
Wayne Buck Posted September 11, 2011 Posted September 11, 2011 How 'bout something like this: Type in "Inciner8tor" in google... There's a bunch of info out there on this car. One turbo per cylinder. I'm sure it's not "ridiculously powerful", but it is pretty neat and interesting!
diymirage Posted September 12, 2011 Posted September 12, 2011 i'd just go with a mopar slant 6 those things run ages past dead :>
Jantrix Posted September 12, 2011 Posted September 12, 2011 i'd just go with a mopar slant 6 those things run ages past dead :> Quoted for truth.
slantasaurus Posted September 12, 2011 Posted September 12, 2011 i'd just go with a mopar slant 6 those things run ages past dead :> Past dead ??? You can't kill a Slant !!!
LDO Posted September 12, 2011 Posted September 12, 2011 How about a 24-cylinder diesel with 8 blowers? IIRC, it has 2 more under that wacky manifold.
Sam Cates Posted September 12, 2011 Author Posted September 12, 2011 All great suggestions so far, and that Diesel, if I could figure out how, I TOTALLY would! Thanks so far guys!
MoparManiac318 Posted September 12, 2011 Posted September 12, 2011 i'd just go with a mopar slant 6 those things run ages past dead :> Amen
Romell R Posted September 12, 2011 Posted September 12, 2011 I could totally see that guy driving this badboy!!!
Wayne Buck Posted September 14, 2011 Posted September 14, 2011 Something with a blower LOL! Yeah, I forgot about that car! I wonder how much that blower weighs... Those front springs must be crying!! That diesel is completely insane! I never even saw that before..
Crazy Ed Posted September 14, 2011 Posted September 14, 2011 Given your drawing, how's 'bout 4 or 8 engines from the MPC Lotus Turbine (1 or 2 per Wheel). Given the nature of your build and that Turbines run on just about any fluid that burns add a Still for the fuel system that distills Lost Souls for fuel. Crazy Ed
Skydime Posted September 14, 2011 Posted September 14, 2011 I could totally see that guy driving this badboy!!! Absolutely, positively, without a shadow of doubt!
tooltas Posted September 15, 2011 Posted September 15, 2011 heres one for u use a lambo v12 and use the two front monted 671 blower and a set of small turbos and top monted top fule 1471 and two blue bottie, :D B) lol
Wayne Buck Posted September 15, 2011 Posted September 15, 2011 I could totally see that guy driving this badboy!!! Yep, he'd look good in that for sure! Maybe better in black though, with some purple and dark gray fog airbrushed all over it. Oh...and the shifter would have to stick at least 2 feet through the roof (... and definitely a T-handle to top it off ). I was thinking... It would be REALLY cool if they made the jaw hinge and hooked the throttle linkage to it (so, when you floor it, the mouth opens up wide!) LOL

Crazy Ed Better yet- an engine that runs on Essence of Gelfling, complete with essence extractor and dried-out husk of a Gelfling!

Chuck Most Posted September 16, 2011 Posted September 16, 2011 Wow- a Dark Crystal reference? Awesome.
Chuck Most Posted September 16, 2011 Posted September 16, 2011 Man,that thing is creeping me out! LOL They're so much more adorable before the life-force is sucked out of them-
Hypermung Posted September 16, 2011 Posted September 16, 2011 I could totally see that guy driving this badboy!!! It needs a bigger engine...
