Engine Test Stand

Canadian Hot Rod RC Boats created the topic: Engine Test Stand

This is my stand I use - I had to mod the top plate for the 'little guy' G200 - but you get the idea

Where I live it's kind of cold - so hooking up a hose isn't always a option


I use a simple stand - mounted on a Home Depot 5 gal pail
wood top with alum plate (checkplate is a pain) held on with 'j' bolts and wing nuts to pail
under one end is a fuel bag + filter
under other is a 12 v windshield washer pump - to switch - to 6 cell Ni Cd batteries (left over from
RC truck starters)
mount brackets are Pro Boat rubber mt brackets with rubber bases or mounts
square drive 1/4" to diff air plane props - drive supported by roller bearing struts

Simple - start - warm up - turn on pump (circulates back to bucket)

Cheers - video or pictures explain better than me (I have a cold sorry for voice)

Oh and I only run 'em - I don't try to kill 'em on my stand so no high revs

Under Load




Not sure what's up with site but man is it slow and takes forever to post anything

2 of my computers will not even let me on the site

Hope all these "advancements" didn't kill the audience that used to be here

Although I'm sure the 'spammers' like the place as they seem to have no problems keeping all their crap on here

OK I'm done venting :sick:

Looks cool Randy!

Ps the spam seems and should be under control now...I worked on it when on vacation.

About the site being slow, I haven't noticed at my end unless using old IE browsers... Has it been slow for you from the first day I updated or later on? Do you remember? I would try looking into it if you can give me details and confirm that you are not using old browsers like IE6 or IE7.

Marc
I'm not most computer smart guy around I'll need to ask my son. Just last two times trying to post took me 4 times to post that above - keep timimg out (thinking or whatever) and then I'd get error message. Think I spent about 25 minutes to get that post and to edit first one (had same vid 2x)

I'll ask my son on weekend. I have 4 computers I use (work, truck, home and personal travel) the work and truck are new Sony the home is HP and travel is HP - the work and home will not let me on (last couple weeks)

Guy at work says something about spam makes the site 'unsafe' and thats why work one kicks me out he said.

Anyway glad u read my note

I like this site and am thinking how to get it back - but needs a kick in the pants or something ---- maybe spring will be better

Cheers Bud
