Steam Tractor

16.2k LordofLego  9.2 years ago

I saw some steam tractors at a particularly unpleasant tractor pull yesterday. I had been planning to build one beforehand, though, so here it is. VTOL up for forward and down for reverse. Roll to steer, pitch down to blow the whistle. Press one for more power. I didn't build either tire, but i have no idea who did. Have fun!

    @KingDeadshot I haven't, either. I barely had time to build it.

    @TheFlyingPlane21 Move the pitch lever up, yes. But if it were flying, you would be pitching down. The nose would go down. If I said pitch up, someone would say, "I think you meant down".
