Fat Brian Posted May 4, 2012 Posted May 4, 2012 I need to make a chain drive for a winch and I want to use something like bicycle chain. Its alright if it looks a tad big, it can be industrial or motorcycle chain.
Dave Van Posted May 4, 2012 Posted May 4, 2012 Operating in 1/25 scale??? Way beyond my skill. Nothing is impossible....but it would require micro machining skills and equipment. A static Photo-etch would be within most folks ability but working....nothing off the shelf is close. There are some chain drives in HO scale model RR parts suppliers....but they would sill be huge in 1/25 scale.
Fat Brian Posted May 4, 2012 Author Posted May 4, 2012 It doesn't have to work, and Jacen, I have one of those Riviera kits and thought the same thing.
Jantrix Posted May 4, 2012 Posted May 4, 2012 Also the Beer Truck show car is chain drive at the rear wheels.
Fat Brian Posted May 5, 2012 Author Posted May 5, 2012 I found something to suit my needs. I have a couple of those old AMT/MPC minibikes and one was missing one of the front fork parts but it has decent chain detail so it's gonna get cut up into a drive motor for a hydraulic pump.
