Smoke generator question...
 

I would like to put a smoker in the "SLUMLORD" since I already have the operational wipers. And here's my question...Does the "smoke" leave a residue on the body?:confused: If it does, I don't think i'll go that route.;)

Thanx, Big John

Where do you find smoke systems for these trucks cause towerhobbies doesn't have anything that doesn't require a gas or glow engine to burn the oil?

Stepside Rod is the man to talk to.

No big deal John, today's electronic engines don't belch black smoke no more anyway:(.
Our RC trucks are environmentally friendly :):) lol

LOL!!! But it would have been cool though. I did see a steam unit on youtube, and it blew the steam pretty good. But as I figured in no time the body was covered in water.:rolleyes::rolleyes::eek::eek:

I have some O gauge trains that smoke, never had an issue with residue. Spilling is more of a mess than anything but even that is not too bad.

MTH makes diesel scented smoke, wish it was black. Wish my truck could do this;

Wanted to add, now that steam generators have a fan (much better than the old days), you can make a plume of smoke then shut it off like the truck is starting off in a hard pull, still the wrong color but it is an option.

Yes sir, that's the way to puff out the smoke.:eek::eek::eek: As far as the color of smoke, I often had a thought of adding black food color. But the two main reasons I guess you couldn't is it probably wouldn't mix well, and what if it got on the body. I just don't want to ruin anything. Thanx for the vid.

Good news big John!..... I found a way for white smoke to actually be appropriate and make sense!:eek::D
All ya need is snow! :confused:
I just watched this video and I thought..... That's it! Drive your rigs in the cold because that's when the exhaust is white!...lol.
All ya gotta do is move to Canada, where winter is 8 months long and your RC with white smoke will fit right in! :D:p:cool::)

Mario, I love ya buddy, but I HATE the cold. So a move to Canada is a no go.:eek::p:rolleyes: I have seen this rig, and I wanted to post the video on the workings of this rig, but I couldn't figure out how to post it on the board.:(:(:( But yes the smoke looks good against the snow. Thanx for sharing the vid.;):):D:cool: I thought it was funny when the guy was running the truck from inside the house...smart man.;)
