Honestly one of the coolest things I’ve ever seen. So great to see an LPE off the bench and start powering something.

[@Brett_M]

Thanks!

[@Legostuffidk]

That’s an insane MOC. I actually built a car with my. V6 LPE but your tank is definitely cooler

[@Brett_M]

Thank you!

[@LEL7567-ABCDEF]

genuinley way better then what i tried to make. so many cool moving parts and mechanisms, no to forget suspension

This one of the coolest lego pneumatic thing I seen

Thank you! Instructions at 1000 subscribers!

I love the pull start! Great work

Thanks man I appreciate it!

This is a build of the year bro

Excellent man! I'm working on a E-100 that I was either going to have a v8 lego LPE engine but I will give your 4 boxer a try because It is a lot smaller and would fit much better than my v8 design. The only problem I am running into is a good strong tank transmission which I am leaning towards differential braking or Sariel's tank subtractors. Keep up the good work. I plan on posting a video of my E-100 LPE build by the end of January.

[@Brett_M]

Thanks! I made Sariel’s subtracters and there was way more gear slop than the one I ended up using (mine is half to 3/4 of a turns Sariel’s was almost 2 turns). The transmission an steering gearbox I used is pretty strong but if you are making a bigger tank, I would suggest to use a transmission with multiple speeds, and a neutral and reverse. Also, I am making instructions for my chassis they will be ready at 1000 subscribers. I highly suggest using my upgraded version of the flat four instead of my old version since the new one is way more powerful.

[@lordawesomejds3531]

@@Brett_M Very cool I appreciate you sending out instructions in the near future! I very curious on how my E-100 will handle and probably have much less fuel range then what you have right now! Weight is going to be a big factor with my design but hope to see some more additions and upgrades toward your design in the near future.

[@Brett_M]

@@lordawesomejds3531 I probably won’t have any upgrades for a little bit since when I am done with the instructions I will be making the rocket artillery truck from Nifeliz run with a pneumatic i4.

[@LordRidler]

I rebuild your Flat 4 and it just works great :) never thought this thing could power a vehicle though xD

[@Brett_M]

Glad you like it! Was it hard to get it timed? You should make a video on it!

[@LordRidler]

@@Brett_Mit worked almost at the first try but i build some pneumatic engines before so i somewhat knew what to do

[@LordRidler]

Getting the O-rings was more of an problem

[@Dudeface167]

That is ridiculously cool.

[@phoenixmg-kn7eh]

What a beautiful design. If you are going to make a tutorial, do you want to make it digitally because then I will build it for sure

[@Brett_M]

Thank you! I already made them digitally I just have to edit the video I’m hoping it will be out before the end of the week.

[@phoenixmg-kn7eh]

That would be nice.@@Brett_M

[@chrisshepard3814]

Perhaps you could add a clamp on the air line moved by another rc motor, to act as a throttle?

[@Brett_M]

Yes! I might try that.

[@byte5126]

This is awesome

[@PR.Impreza]

😄

[@8bitarmory846]

interesting control setup - I'd just assume that each stick controls forward and reverse for each track

[@Brett_M]

Ya it’s kinda weird but it works.

[@bartybum]

Looks good, any thoughts on how well a dry ice bottle with a safety valve might work as an air source?

[@Brett_M]

I bet it would work pretty good. Only thing is co2 bottles are way harder to fill than hpa.

[@nuclearpillow1677]

i love this so much, is the air compressor worth it? also how long can you run it on the bottle before it’s out?😊

[@Brett_M]

I would definitely say the compressor is worth it just a warning the compressor is for high pressure 500-4500psi and extreme caution should be used when operating. I have been using the compressor a ton for a few months now and it never missed a beat I would recommend it. The compressor is meant for filling high pressure paintball tanks and PCP airguns which it works great for. Also the engine which leaks air a ton runs for around a minute on that really small tank. I’m sure the run time could be improved if the leaks in the engine were fixed and if a larger tank was used.

[@Tjandeli]

Yaaa he reached 1000 subs yaaa

[@bricknplay]

Hi, do you remember how long you could drive with that air tank? Seems like a perfect way to power the engine! Very compact!!

[@Brett_M]

I thought I replied to you a while ago with this same question? I’m just wondering if KZbin is having a problem and removing my replies? Anyway to answer your question i believe it could run for 2 minutes or so. This engine as a ton of leaks my new engine with the 3d printed cylinders can run much longer! Thanks for the comment!!!

[@bricknplay]

@@Brett_M thanks! I think i accidentally posted the comment on two videos

[@GillesCRIT]

Very nice job. Can you give a parts list of these tank ? Thanks

[@Brett_M]

Sorry, I don’t have a parts list. You’ll have to make one yourself.

[@user-nu9yl1ib6x]

That is a really cool MOC will be there an instruction to download? and how long can the engine run with that paintball tank?

[@Brett_M]

I’m not sure if I’ll make instructions. There are a lot of gears and pieces that are tricky to fit. Also the engine can run for about 2 hand a half minutes with all the leaks the system has.

[@bricknplay]

Hey it’s me again :) I’m just wondering, what kind of regulator and what tank did you use? I’m just getting started and I don’t know what I need. I would appreciate any advice! Greetings!

[@Brett_M]

@@bricknplay thanks for the comment! For starters I use a 13ci HK army paintball tank from Amazon. I would definitely buy a OrcAir compressor I’ve been using mine everyday pretty much for 4-5 months and it’s never missed a beat. You won’t regret buying one. Can you give me till tonight to get some links for the regulator? Thanks!

[@bricknplay]

@@Brett_MSure that sounds great, thanks!

[@Brett_M]

@@bricknplay I checked and you can fine most of the links in this video description. kzbin.info/www/bejne/g4Pbi41jlN2MqKMsi=y9zOTPbVxf5sPrI1 For the regulator there are many other type to choose from just be sure it has the same threads and pressure settings and the one in the video description.

[@dandzsemz9874]

The O-Rings which you have listed in the description, are those for the pistons?

[@Brett_M]

Yes they are for the pistons.

[@dandzsemz9874]

@@Brett_M Do they provide a lot of friction? I've used string as a ring before and I wanted to know if these rubber o rings are a better alternative because using string is very finicky.

[@Brett_M]

@@dandzsemz9874 as long as you oil them with something like vegetable oil they don’t have much friction.

[@xmysef4920]

Do you have dc?

[@Brett_M]

No.
