Gr4vitas Posted January 24, 2010 Posted January 24, 2010 Well basically I want to start with building a model engine (small one) I'm looking at buying a kit to do it. I don't have the tools to build one from scratch (or the know how for that matter) so I was wanting to build one with a kid (get the parts from the kit and put it together my self) I know its kind of lame because I'm not really doing anything other than putting it together but I think it will be kind of cool. Anyway does anyone know where I can find a place to buy a kit like this? All I seem to be able to find are cheap kits that don't actually build a working engine. Anywho if anyone is any info on this sort of thing hollar! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
airman Posted January 25, 2010 Posted January 25, 2010 how small? like, model car RC small, or larger such as a 250cc or 600cc (like a small bike engine). Not sure about the kits, though. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
OwinC Posted January 25, 2010 Posted January 25, 2010 (edited) Those would be micro engines. They range in price from a couple hundred to a couple thousand. http://www.littlemachineshop.com/products/...&OVNDID=ND2 Edited January 25, 2010 by OwinC Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
IVIYTH0S Posted January 25, 2010 Posted January 25, 2010 why not make an electric motor?? (maybe a big enough one to propel your lawnmower?) Who needs more gas burners?? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
OwinC Posted January 25, 2010 Posted January 25, 2010 There where a few steam engines featured on that page. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
