1-10 Scale Mazda RX7 Wankel rotary engine by Dblnaknak

Last crawled date: 3 years ago

UPDATE: Added the following files:
filter for the turbo intake.
alternator
alternator belt
alternator mount
oil filter
oil filter mount.
The alternator uses 2 MR52zz bearings and 1.8mm screws. Oil filter used 1.5 mm SCHS
UPDATE: Revised the eccentric center shaft to utilize 1 bearing instead of 2. The 2 bearing was too thick and it was affecting the mesh. Now labeled eccentric center V2.
This is a scaled down version of ericthepoolboy's original RX7 design. All credit goes to him for the awesome design. I simply scaled everything to 1/10 scale and modified the design to accommodate the new bearings, gear mesh and hardware. The motor is assembled the same way as the original and you can use his original directions for assembly. You will need to improvise on a few things like the eccentric lobe pins.
This is not an easy build. I thought that it was a little more complicated due to the small size and extremely tight tolerances. Take your time building it. Most mechanical parts will need to be slightly filed, honed, or sanded due to varying printer settings. SLOW your printer down for this project. I could not get any pivot pins to work correctly due to the small size so everything is held together with magnets
The bearings were sourced from either banggood.com or ebay and the screws were sourced from rc4wd.com.
