SkateBoard Chainsaw Enginegreenspun.com : LUSENET : Junkyard Wars : One Thread |
I had the Idea of using a skateboard or other type of vehicle and putting treads on the back, and wheels in the front for steering, so that I could manuver in the sand. I was wondering how a chainsaw engine would do, because the chainsaw engine is already made to turn the chain or blade of the chain saw, so wouldn't treads work kinda the same way. Also I was wondering about stopping and slowing the board down.If any one can offer some helpful tips of things to be weary of let me know, thx.
