The gears are bought, but were modified to attach them to the clutchbells. They're made out of POM (Acetal Polyoxymethylene Copolymer)

First try wasn't a big succes. Here's what happened after about 10ft:
Tried again with glassfibre reinforced gears on the engines and a steel gear in the center. The sound of this thing (especially indoors) is incredible! You can actually feel the soundwaves! 
Also tried a few modifications on the Wankel. It's sarting to run better every time:)  |
