Rehabilitation of a Rover
http://trenulete.info/reabilitarea-unui-rover/Another toy, this time something new generation of bought for my child, somewhere in the 90s, after the revolution, this car is still being controlled cable, I think some Chinese, I do not remember. I only know that summer sent to grandparents, Alex, my boy, took the toy with him to court, where participants play their neighbors, took care to dismantle and destroy the Land Rover. But I remember that one day, his grandmother called me call me to court because Alex is no longer stops crying. I found out that because he had broken toy sleep. We promised then that'll fix it, but that it lacked the entire steering system, gearbox and transmission ferfenita was made with the engine torn cabbage and sprockets, in those days forced me to put a toy in a box and let later. I rediscovered a wheelchair looking for Wartburg, otherwise unavailable, and I wanted to be next on the list this car rebilitarilor childhood soul of my son!
Here I am at work! A little discouraged by the lack of gear, I improvised a first engine and transmission gears from the lego games! It was relatively easy to scrape up a gear, especially the engine of lego game already has a three redoubts / and a large gears with teeth rare, are preferable because they produce zgomor so great as those with small teeth. Said and done, only to test my build I found ineffective, whereas in speed / power, the car did not have the necessary strength to climb even moving from linoleum to carpet ...
As such, we went to phase two, eke another gear with parts supplied. We chose a 3-volt little engine from a chinezarie, gears from the mechanism of dismembered dolls and support gear I made to order convenient to just inside the cut surface provided for the original transmission. We used 3 mm thick forex and sometimes a thick ABS ... Finally came a gear solid, quiet and with a speed / power satisfying. In tests, Land Rover has successfully scaled up and put his foot in the way of toys.
I went with the first adjusting direction and had the gift to create the prerequisites for a very precise planning mechanism that will directly drive the toy. I do not think I will mount the signs and directions, but basically you use the same method by servo-drivers used to Wartburg. It's so important that the space inside the toy allows the installation of gadgets and I'll take advantage of this.
If you have such models, you want to give them for reconditioning are happy to buy them because I want to make a small exhibit of old toys rehabilitated. Thank you in advance!
I will return with details depending on the evolution of work!
