Blown Mower... Redy For Work...

Last Sunday while I was mowing the lawn, I hat this weird idea… To have a lawn mower in 1/25… I searched on the internet, but nothing interesting… :-/So I started to build it like the “old” lawn mowers, with the opening part on the side instead of in the rear.

your cuttin grass already? i still got snow on mine lol

that looks cool! I like random stuff like that

Cool ! What are you using for an engine?

Thank you guys!!!

@JTRACING, Yep, it is the second time! I would prefer have some snow, and go out and play with my Jeep, but here if snow 5 inches it’s a miracle!!! :smiley:

@Sprue-ce Goose, I don’t know if scratch build a lawn mower engine or going wild… :slight_smile: Any suggestion???

Hamster size Lawn Mower Racer?

(smaller scale than human size )

for a human size lawn mower racer how to:

or…you could use just one cylinder of an old airplane radial engine?

Odd little build…why not use a Harley motor? Maybe from a 1/35 kit . Of course the drive for the blade will be interesting , lay the v-twin on its side and run some velocity stack/injectors straight up and exhaust pipes up to the moon and then…Ahh I give up!

I have decided to go “wild” with it… [:D]

Soooopah!

That’s usually the most fun.

Agree!!! [:D]

Because I will put a V8, I need to add some brake, safety always in the first place!!! :slight_smile:

Add disc brake, the red things it is the caliper, and the other level is for regulate the height.

i put a little generator in the back of my model ute, which would make a fairly realistic engine for a mower, if that was the way you wanted to go. can’t remember where ii got it, but it was aftermarket model supply, its white metal.

Thank you for the suggestion. But I will put on it a HEMI, I think from a 69 Charger… {:)]

The gas powered RC model airplane engine would get the most smiles, especially when you fire it up and it sounds like a lawnmower!!..now if it was drivable with a remote and had a cutting blade!!oOHOHOOooo look out!

[:D][:D][:D]

Some color… It is Arcadia Green from Duplicolor. Looks not to bad, I think to have a green/chrome scheme on it.

Here a mock up with the engine. The engine could be build in 3 way, stock, custom and competition. The competition one has a blower.
So I though this is a crazy idea to put a V8 on a lawn mower, so why don’t make a good crazy job using a blower… And after, I remember that I saw a engine with two blowers, so two it is better than one, and I went in this directions… :D

Let me know what you think… :)

If I may suggest,

Google Ed “Big Daddy” Roth, check the stuff he made and look at the way he proportioned the individual parts in his creations-especially the small vehicles…

here’s one site on his cars.

You may also obtain ideas from similar designers who created some of the re-issue 1960s show vehicles.

That may give you better inspiration than anything else…

I love Ed Roth! Soon I’ll post some pics of the Blown Mover, because it is ready!!! :slight_smile:

thats awesome! reminds me of Tim “the tool man” Taylor lol when he supped up his mower to race Bob Vila
