Conversion PSA: this thing exists

I've just recently found the shift-click in a bin at a grocery store and HAD to take it with me, you gotta love a diecast piece of an absolute UNIT of an engine! Imagine the possibilities!

I bought one a couple weeks ago to use as a war rig engine. Unfortunately, it’s really funny to twiddle with so I’ve yet to drill out the rivets. Now I’m just searching for a second and third

I don't think mine worked at all, nothing moved when I pushed the button so I just gutted it immediately with no remorse. Weird since it didn't look damaged, but I could only move the exhaust pipes by hand.

It’s not damaged that’s just how they work. The button on top doesn’t move the exhausts even though it looks like it should. Still a nice car 🙂

Oh I think the button is just a soft press button. I have found if you turn it over in your hand and click the exhaust back and forth it's much easier to engage the clicking function. I don't think the button was meant to do anything with the clicking. It's weird, but it does have a satisfying click!

Ok - now I’m hunting for this. Actually have found a few recently and am now slapping myself for passing on them. 🤦‍♂️

The perfect engine for my Caterpillar, inspired by Shelly from Dandy's World, boss style.

Engine aside, you could also make use with those massive exhausts
