[MOC] Henry Ford's Quadricycle

[zumaidi]

I am working on the 2nd edition of the Quadricycle. 

This time to make it looks like the real one especially on the size ratio.

The 1st one is using parts from 42118. Already on RB - https://rebrickable.com/mocs/MOC-75479/zumaidi/henry-fords-quadricycle/#details

Appreciate for any comment. 

Thanks.

Some updates:

- the size ratio is almost the same as actual one

- tiller mechanism with fully functional left/right turn

- fake 2 cylinder engine

 

Video of - Fake cylinder engine

 

I don't have bike chain so I use gear instead.

 

 

Yet to be done - clutch mechanism, ring bell and head lamp. And to place the tiller further in front....

And later to add chain drive mechanism (have to buy a new set with that parts first).

 

Appreciate for any comment.

 

Thanks.

That's an interesting vehicle you're modeling!

I appreciate the focus on functionality, especially with the clutch you have planned.

Interesting model.

I was thinking to sugest to get that chain from bricklink.com, but there is just one seller in Malaysia, who have those chain links, and there are only 16 available. So, some Ducati then maybe will be better buy.

Thanks for the suggestion. Yes I am looking forward to getting the Ducati.

Managed to move the tiller a little bit to the front, almost like the actual Quadricycle.

This is to update that I have added the clutch mechanism. Now it is possible to change between engine/wheel free play and both can move. 

See the video.

Appreciate for any comment.

Thanks for your support.

There was a Ninjago polybag set a couple of years ago, I think it was the Icetank thing. Anyway it has like 20+ of those links, maybe even 30, if I remember correctly. Not sure why but I ended up buying 5 or 6 of them just for those links.

Anyway if you can find it, seems like another way of getting them relatively inexpensive.

Thank you for your suggestion. I have ordered the Ducati since I will get more parts other than chain link. In addition, the cost of the individual chain link plus the shipping is quite high. So, I think it is more economical to buy a complete set. The most important thing is I can enjoy building the Ducati as it will be my 1st LEGO bike. :-)
