ok after looking at fiberglass build methods,cardboard, air soft , and HHO generators I have come up either A. a brilliant way to construct a 1:1 scale Warthog or B. crazily waste lots of materials and time...either way later this Year I will begin contruction on the warthog
ok so supposedly the Warthog runs using a hydrogen injection liquid cooled 12.0 liter low profile ( Flat Six ) engine. This would be the biggest thing to tackle. I plan on building this engine with the listed materials the contruction method in question will not be discussed until the engine is complete.
Engine build HHo generator, Sheet metal, Kevlar header wrap (as used on pro comp dragsters), and cardboard.
That covers the engine for now but how about the frame? struts, and floor pan. I plan on using the same fiberglass/polyurethane method used to make the suits in the first place to give it enough strength to at least hold 430 pounds ( driver and passengers).
The last thing on this build so far is how to make it move under its own power. Now, in the game the Warthog seems to emit sounds from both an internal combustion engine and eletric motors so I have thought that either individual electric motors should work four for steering four for drive. The HHo motor would just supply the power needed to power the electric motors.
Well tell me wether you think this is the plans of a genuis or the disaster of a madman
M.B.
:update:
images of the drive system and a quick sketch of the warthog over all more will be on the way.
