Model tyre burnout testbed Mark 1 & 2

I picked up some old model car bits cheap so thought I'd do something useful with them...

Mmmm.....What this needs, is for that motor to be direct-driven on a mains-powered drill that is controlled by a variac. There'd be so much torque, that tyre would have a right-proper smoke up.

Small motors, speed-for-torque reduction gears & rubber bands just aren't going to cut it. By the time you've got that thing making rubber-dust, the motors have reached max speed.

Give that tyre a mains-powered drill, controlled by variac & watch it smoke-up real proper :-D

@BoomBoxDeluxe The main problem was the rubber bands snapping as you said - the motors get overvolted on my variac so I can over rev them if need be for extra rpm :D

The drill / variac is on the mark 4 version of the testbed - you think like me in that way lol

Cheers!
