Anyone ever attempt a Dyno?

I was thinking about eventually making a dyno. anyone ever done this?
if so lets see it! maybe I should just buy a 1/24th one.. have you guys ever seen scale dyno's for sale?
thanks!

Fujimi makes a 1/24 Dino. You should search for "dino" as opposed to "dyno." Just a small error! hlj has some in stock I believe. Good luck! :biggrin:

thanks bobby, no such luck though unfortunately.

I think he means an automotive dynamometer for figuring out power and torque. :)

automotive dynamometer....I see, hmm. I think I've seen someone attempting to build one with posted pics at the LHS.

I also tried hlj.com and no results. I dont think they make one. Only thing i can find is the Garage set, and toolbox set. In the toolbox set it comes with a lift, if your interested in one of those.

yes, dynamometer. not dinosours ;)

I think bobby was talking about a Ferrari.

You know like a Ferrari Dino 246gt.
I had one of those kits, sadly I was a newbie it came out junky.

Well, i will be making a scale shop to display some of my models soon. Maybe I will have to add a dyno to it.

wow thanks for the indea!

I was making a project about a year ago. It was a speed shop with a 4WD dyno. Never got around to making it.

Are you talking about an engine dyno or a dyno with rolls to put a car on ?

A good start point might be Fujimi's Tools set. It comes with a car lift, which could be modified to serve as the place where the car sits. It also has a computer (I believe) which would be necessary item as well.
