Walkthrough of homemade rc car No.2

[maximilianopower20]

great see my rc car ;) new prototipe

[clevetbs123]

where did you get the gear for this... and how was it assembled

[davonizdashit]

what kind of servo system are u using?

[fingalickenchicken]

@davonizdashit

It uses a 1/4 scale servo for the steering, a standard servo for the throttle, a cheap AM receiver and a 5 cell battery pack.

[connorweichbrodt]

Could u email me a blueprint or plans Thanx

[guapomen427]

Do you know if l can install a clutch in a Homelite 26cc Mighty Lite weed eater? because l think the one l have doesn't have any clutch...

[Masterjohn360]

i bet its better than the rc car that comes with the game that i fucking over payed for

[threedaysgraceemir]

hehehehehehehe hgčagčiaojgaigjaćgačifq'etgžwe­hpsihgq

[CAIDMASTEROFPYRO]

is that a chain saw engine

[Nate07rccrazed]

sweet

[MartinSuswedyk]

very nice!!!

[ANNDRUWS]

el ruido que deve hacer eso cuando anda mas rapido

[miquelmahhhh]

5*......

[associatedrc500]

lame

[kdknitro]

pretty cool where did u get your steering servo from and how much did it run you, ive been thinking about doing the same thing but havent thought of a good steering system yet.

[balak121]

im building one two but quick question what is the maker and model of that engine.

[fingalickenchicken]

It is made by Shibaura

I'm unsure of what model it is (its old though lol)

[balak121]

thanks but i have found that a chainsaw engine should provide enough power and already has a clutch and the gears installed in the engine.

[crawlbat89]

@fingalickenchicken Its pretty cool what size engine is that?Definably stronger chassis then you can buy at the store.

[f0615388]

does it have diffs?

sorry my computer doesnt have audio

[fingalickenchicken]

nope, no diff was used on this car. It has just a plain old solid axle setup, like on a gokart.

[antonyr123]

@fingalickenchicken / 2009 mustang lol

[webkinzandrew]

u should put a second servo for steering.

[alan19861]

how do u keep the chain from turning when u start it up ?

[fingalickenchicken]

The engine has an inbuilt clutch which stops that from happening. Most good quality weed eater engines have them.

[firstrambo3000]

nice now run it

[ihelk]

verynice

[blackoutneji]

what rc remote are you using to control this, i am building a robot and need a new remote

[phoenixfire47]

I'm just gonna tell you one thing. you might want to get a faster servo or a more high torque servo because either the rx pack(it has one right) is dead or that servo is just too slow.

[fingalickenchicken]

Yes the servo is a bit weak in this video. Since moving to the 5 cell rx pack it has alot more grunt. Thankyou for your input.

[phoenixfire47]

Ohh ok no problem

[JonathanRinny]

of what is the chain of the transmition loks like a bicycle chain but smaller can u tell me on what those r used? and really nice car u should make a body for it with fiverglass!

[fingalickenchicken]

Thanks!

The chain is 25 pitch, the same stuff they use on pocketbikes and goped scooters. Theys are also used on the timing mechanism of many small 4-stroke dirt bike engines, like the honda z50.

[JonathanRinny]

oh.. ok thanks i saw it one day but idk where to find it i'm a circus performer i'm 17 and i have a mini bike but a really small one and i wanna make a smallr one if possible to fit on the palm of my hand and i really need this chain coz i can make it even smaller u can check my show on the bicycle act on my channel it's worth to watch specially the end : ) oh! where can i get this tiny chain?

[fingalickenchicken]

Haha cool.

You can get it from ebay and ddm (daves discount motors)..just google 'ddm + goped' and you will find it.

[JonathanRinny]

oh ok thanks bro hopefully i find it do they sell the gears for it too?

[fingalickenchicken]

Yes they sell the gears too.

[anthacdc]

if i have a rolling chassis from a normal glow plug engine, could i run from the engine to the wheels with out no gear ratio, just 1 to 1?

cheers

[WC9456]

maybe. acceleration might not be to fast but the wheels would turn at 8,000 or so rpm. so it would be fast as hell

[anthacdc]

Loll, thats wat i through but i got my self some gears the other day so its not like 8,000 rpm at the wheels lol

[fingalickenchicken]

You will need gears to reduce the ratio. The ratio you use will depend on the diameter of the wheels.

[wilpb14]

this thing looks vicious.

[kudosknighterrant]

what did you use to mount the rear axle with?

[fingalickenchicken]

Skateboard bearings and 3 homemade bearing mounts.

[kudosknighterrant]

What's your gear ratio?

[fingalickenchicken]

5.5385:1

[mrmikey212]

Nice, I cant remember if I've posted a comment already but I've followed this on RCU Nice job!

Fast ? Lol

[fingalickenchicken]

Thanks!

[oggy11111]

Hi.

What servo do yu have for steering?

it seems a little weak, mabye a Multiplex Rhino Digi 4 ?

It has to turn, or else it isn't fun to drive ;)

But a very nice car, and great job building it!

[fingalickenchicken]

Thanks.

Yeah im using a multiplex digital servo, and it looks weak in this vid because I was only using a 4-cell reciever pack. Now that Im using a 5-cell pack it works much better :)

[oggy11111]

Nice :)

Looks good :)

[Tipzy94]

i mean the weels lol

[Tipzy94]

the car was from a 4 by 4 r/c car that is hafle car and have truck that can flip srry about spelling

[DangerousAernscht]

Nice dude, nice. If the chassis consists out of only one main plate you shoul enforce it a bit... Maybe with bars going over it or something like that.

[fingalickenchicken]

Thanks.

[speedx619]

cool thing!!!!!!!!!!!

[ghigofiamma]

what a great beast!!!!

[duncfc]

nice

[jbs127845]

thats a really nice build!!!good job!!

[johnsonbach]

did you do any welding when building it???

[kart4nos]

what kind of engine is that a weed wacker

[fingalickenchicken]

Yes, it is a 25cc weed wacker engine.

[norcalic707]

looks good you should make another video of it going :) good job

[ford1979truck]

it lots power full

[geoff390]

Looks really strong and well built. Are you running a solid rear axle? If you are that would make for great slides. That steering looks so simple. A guy at my school is building an RC car for yr 12 i will definatly tell him to check yours out.

[fingalickenchicken]

Thanks.

Yes, it is running a solid rear axle. As long as you can keep the engine as low to the ground as possible and make the track really wide, it will handle well. If you want, you can go to the 'giant scale cars' forum on rcuniverse(dot)com and you will find the thread I have made on it named 'new homemade truck'.
