Paddle wheel concept

2,539 squideater56  6.1 years ago

So ive been here a while and i like to build anphibious builds but absolutly hate putting on bulky props to give propulsion, so i made a paddle wheel design, using the engine out mod, i created a basic concept for propulsion without being too bulky or design wrecking.

Heres the creation:

    @RailfanEtha ya need to not assume without checking the linked creations, phillip didnt beat me to anything as thats only half of what i was going for, i said right of the bat i like anphibious builds, which mean its a land based vehicle able to ride on or through water, phillip built a paddle boat thats water based creation that cant go on land, mine can go on land and water, thats what my concept is, having the power of a paddle boat while keeping the "sleak" design of a car, allowing it to drive on land then on water without the need of loud heavy prop engines strapped on or hidden within the vehicle.

    I’ve seen quite a few paddle wheels thingos. And it would be better if it was an actual paddle wheel not wheel. Also use rotators instead of the mod.
