Posted September 11, 2024Sep 11 Hi everyone! I'm proud to show you this MOC. The Fiat s76 was a prototype race car built in 1910. It is famous for it's huge 28'000cc engine. I made a detailed model of the 4 cyl. DOHC engine with functional camshafts (2) and valves (16). The camshafts are driven by a timing chain and gears. Every valve has proper timing of course. The fake engine can be operated by hand crank at the front with one-way mechanism. The car is far from being a scale model, I meant it as a fun toy but I think the original car is still recognizable. It is remote controlled by Control+ hub, with fake engine drive and car drive by separate motors. Car features: Leaf spring suspension (flex axles) Detailed cockpit with leather seat, wooden steering wheel, ignition timing lever, brake lever... and driver (experienced, yet still reckless!) Fake final chain drive (XL motor and differential in rear axle) Display 1910 Fiat logo HUGE fake engine! Fake engine features: Hand crank and Control+ motor (can't run backwards) Full functional valvetrain with flex axle valve spring Intake manifold with giant carburetor Exhaust manifold with fire Cooling pump, hoses and radiator, oil lines I hope you'll like it !

September 12, 2024Sep 12 I'm not into old cars but this model is really well done! I like also the driver. Well done!
September 12, 2024Sep 12 This is awesome super unique! hope your planning some instructions - would love to build
September 12, 2024Sep 12 Wow, this is so awesome! Amazing job overall, and the engine in particular! I love old cars, and this is certainly one of the most insane ones.
September 12, 2024Sep 12 That's super fun! Cool to see such a realistic engine in a at least somewhat to-scale model, and the driver adds so much character

The driver is obviously inspired by my TC27 entry. The main concept was "a realistic complicated engine in a car" and this oversize engine allowed me to deal with the scale problem, it is pretty big nonetheless. I don't have instruction skills but I'd like to make a studio model and maybe video instructions for the engine to explain how to get valve timing right. But right now I have a new auto-lock diff crawler on the shelf waiting for photo/video.
