Leaf blower car

Modeling Rolling stock
#1

Living in NASCAR country I made a little trip to Roush Yates used parts are and got a few goodies for a leaf blower car

Carbon fiber duct with fan inclosed on the one end a whole $10 bucks

The other 2 fans are 3" and they were a whole $5 bucks each. Going to use the carbon one for me and cut an angle on the end of the 90 turn down. The other 2 fans are for a 2 buddies who want a leaf car too. You got to love used part houses. Anyways time to start the build when Iget a little free time maybe next week…

Completly removable so you can use the car for other work… with battery not counting the car around $25 bucks tied up on this project.

Nice idea on the temporary mounting Daniel. I’m looking forward to seeing it in operation
