K'Nex V8 Engine

This is a V8 mod of Geonovast's V4. Also, see the video of it meeting it's demise.

And, this is over 3 months old. I never got round to posting it.

Hey does this actually work? because ive got a knex car chassis (About 3'x2') and this would make a perfect add-on. If it does work, how much power would it crank out? if it doesnt, do you know anything like this that does work?

[tman4434]

the pictures to show you how to build it on the site dont show up

[mamod]

Please can you post an a instructable. I would really like to build this!

Thanks

You ACTUALLY COMMENTED?

[koal1]

too much free time

[ajleece]

Or lack there-of.

[koal1]

until its finished anyway

 Someone should get all knexers on this site together and make something life- size and amazing like a full size car featuring this baby for example. Someone popular who lives in a good area with millions of knex should do that it would be so cool!

[ajleece]

Awesome, but unrealistic.

[mettaurlover]

Actually, the best way to do this would be to have various people make different parts, then bring them all together and connect them to see what happens. For example, I know how to make a relatively stable wheel as far as k'nex goes.

[Smasher555]

Good idea.

[mettaurlover]

Remember what I said earlier about acceptable time limits? That was outside them.

[Smasher555]

It's not your bussiness to tell me what I should and shouldn't do. End of discussion.

[mettaurlover]

In all fairness, what I'm saying is general politeness. People don't particularly like getting mails about replies to comments old enough that they don't remember why they said it.

[Smasher555]

Whatever. BTW, I said end of discussion, so drop it.

[ant ant 33]

 yeppp sounds good. we'd end up with a 30ft alien thing with a vivsector gun on its back, twin z35s and striker pistols on its shoulders!!!!! awwweesssoooooonmmmmeeeee

[mettaurlover]

Not so much the guns, but parts like the roof, wheels, axles, doors, etc. And some of the guys with epic amounts of k'nex can make a few D-TAB's and mount them on the hood so you could fire them from the front seats...

[ant ant 33]

 coool

[mettaurlover]

That leaves the problem of moving the thing; all k'nex has in the way of motors is pathetic little things, so it'd either taker a ton of them or a much larger, not meant for knex motor.

[ant ant 33]

 we should install a v8 engine!!! a real one with a real car chassis

[ant ant 33]

 or, if you seen avatar, a robot thing that someone goes in and it replicates their actins

[mettaurlover]

That would make a much nicer build, and have more places to add motors unobtrusively to looks.

[ant ant 33]

 errrrr. ok? unobtrusively??? 

[Seleziona]

cool!

[gerrits13]

this motor is from knex innovation .com isn't it

[ajleece]

This is a V8. Not a V4. The one on KI is either Geonovast's V4 or my V8 mod.

[ajleece]

Apparantly you can't see the pictures. Here.

[Killer~SafeCracker]

Looks good

[Mr. Muggle]

that looks cool, 5*. and man you have a lot of knex

[DJ Radio]

Put pics in a comment.

[travw]

I can't see the pics.

[Oblivitus]

LOL!, you should add some slow-mo clips to the video.

[Killer~SafeCracker]

I can't see the pictures man.
