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.
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.
@@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.
@@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.
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.
I thought I replied to you a while ago with this same question? I’m just wondering if TH-cam 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!!!
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!
@@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 I checked and you can fine most of the links in this video description. th-cam.com/video/MRxZZ-_xYrA/w-d-xo.htmlsi=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.
@@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.
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.
Thanks for watching!
Check out Orcair pcp compressors!

Honestly one of the coolest things I’ve ever seen. So great to see an LPE off the bench and start powering something.
Thanks!
That’s an insane MOC. I actually built a car with my. V6 LPE but your tank is definitely cooler
Thank you!
genuinley way better then what i tried to make. so many cool moving parts and mechanisms, no to forget suspension
Haha thank you! Don’t forget to subscribe so you don’t miss future videos!
This one of the coolest lego pneumatic thing I seen
Thank you!
Instructions at 1000 subscribers!
This is a build of the year bro
Thank you!
This is impressive engineering
Thank you! Instructions at 1000 subscribers!
I love the pull start! Great work
Thanks man I appreciate it!
That is ridiculously cool.
Love the pull start, awesome work
Thank you!
Perhaps you could add a clamp on the air line moved by another rc motor, to act as a throttle?
Yes! I might try that.
I rebuild your Flat 4 and it just works great :) never thought this thing could power a vehicle though xD
Glad you like it! Was it hard to get it timed? You should make a video on it!
@@Brett_Mit worked almost at the first try but i build some pneumatic engines before so i somewhat knew what to do
Getting the O-rings was more of an problem
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
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.
That would be nice.@@Brett_M
interesting control setup - I'd just assume that each stick controls forward and reverse for each track
Ya it’s kinda weird but it works.
I have been waiting to see a Lego tank powered by an LPE for a long time. I made a Lego pneumatic engine, but it was too weak to drive a car.
@@SJP4 cool!
Looks good, any thoughts on how well a dry ice bottle with a safety valve might work as an air source?
I bet it would work pretty good. Only thing is co2 bottles are way harder to fill than hpa.

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?😊

super cool!
Thank you!
Very nice job.
Can you give a parts list of these tank ?
Thanks
Sorry, I don’t have a parts list. You’ll have to make one yourself.
Hi, do you remember how long you could drive with that air tank? Seems like a perfect way to power the engine! Very compact!!

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.
The O-Rings which you have listed in the description, are those for the pistons?
Yes they are for the pistons.
@@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.
@@dandzsemz9874 as long as you oil them with something like vegetable oil they don’t have much friction.
This is awesome
That is a really cool MOC will be there an instruction to download? and how long can the engine run with that paintball tank?

Yaaa he reached 1000 subs yaaa
😄
Do you have dc?
No.
