Gypsy in a model hot rod

[Daggers]

When doing some research on my Gypsy build I stumbled across this you tube video, hope it is of interest.

I love it! Really sounds like a Hot Rod!
(Shoulda' had a V8...)

I don't think Vixen will be wanting to put a Seal into his tank after seeing that

Also just goes to show what I keep saying that these engines don't need to be run with a finger chopper when a simple solid flywheel will do. I did think the throttle response would be a bit slower with the prop on it but seems to pick up quickly though hard to tell what pitch and dia it was.

I've  looked at this type boat for a while, early 1900's 4 cylinder gas,, simple as boat hulls go,  lots of varnished wood,, to many models not enough time!!!

Ha ha. I wasn't planning on two rooster tails of snow behind the Bren Gun Carrier

What's the downside to two rooster tails of snow from the Bren carrier ?   

Knowing some of the guys that drove them in the Canadian Army in WW2, I imagine they would have done it if they could have!   

A BGC with a RR Merlin / Meteor, or a 1000 HP drag race ready Chev 454 all hopped up, would make for an interesting afternoon (or a lengthy track repair session - or maybe both!)          

(mental picture of people walking the dog next to where the above took place - " Joe, what are those tank tracks doing way up in those trees?")

Bren Gun Carrier doing a wheelie - or would that be a Trackie....

[Vixen]

If a track came off it would be    Floppy stoppy

Mmmmmm !!!!    well you've gotta admit it looks a lot of fun.

It looks like the Bren Gun Carrier can also be made to fly 






But like they say "it's not going fast that hurts, it is always the suddenness of the stop"
