I've heard conversation coming out of animal pens that is more intelligent than what is going on in here.

just another hobby no one has prolly heard about

Post by Yamahaman95 »

well..i used to be insanely into knex about a year or 2 ago but im not into them as much...but i still like to challenge myself so i decided to take a crack at making a ktm 350 engine with the same scale (picked the 350 cuz theres lots of pics on em)

heres what i have so far..i have a working clutch in it and working vavles,piston,crankshaft...all the top and bottom end stuff..i mainly need to put a transmisson in there (wont be easy) and then add all the extras;carb,exhaust,etc.

Building what's on the box is 1thing. But building something like this requires some serious skill and knowledge of aswell a bike as knex. Damn nice :P.

Nice man, I used to be way into them too, but I've never done anything as elaborate as that. I did make a pinball machine and a rollercoaster though.

KNEX!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Dude, i used to be a beast with KNEX when i was younger. I had thousands upon thousands of KNEX pieces. I've made all kinds of things from the roller coasters to the ball factory to vehicles to another.

One time we built a tower from my 1st floor all the way up through our 2nd floor skylight window and out the roof about 15 feet. We left it like that and went out to dinner and when we came back the tower had fallen and there were knex pieces everywhere lol.

That motor is pretty sick.
