Home made HUGE RC car #14, motor moves it! large scale 1955 chevy

[MrNirvaan1204]

awesome job man ,i want build one mostly same i wanna know which tires have been used and their size ,thks in advance

[Stormer94]

@MrNirvaan1204, they are Burris kart tires. I believe a 6" rim with an 11" tire.

[SuperBmxbadass]

Nice fox float. wherd you get it.

[Stormer94]

@SuperBmxbadass , internet auction find.

[littleseanx]

Awesome!

[littleseanx]

DO I SEE TRAXXAS CONNECTORS THERE?

[Stormer94]

@littleseanx , yep!

[allama9485]

What kind of battery do i have to pun on el engine 90w and 12v?

[Stormer94]

@allama9485 , need more information.

[origstolzy]

Pretty cool but boring. Rip that thing off a double lol

[Stormer94]

@origstolzy , agreed, could be faster. Keep in mind the 105 poun weight though. you don't want to let it get out of hand. :)  ...lol...

[allama9485]

@Stormer94 How heavy he is? :)

[Stormer94]

@allama9485 , that petite little car tips the scales at 105 pounds... :)

[bassnbows]

what is the purpose of the speed control? and were could i find maybe a cheaper one? ive seen that there quite pricey.

[Stormer94]

@bassnbows , the speed control feeds the voltage from the battery into the motor, making it move. :) this one is a Tekin RX8 from stormerhobbies(dot)com

[bassnbows]

do you think it would be possible to make one of these for paintball? i was thinking about fitting a metal PVC pipe, maybe 3/4 inch, and make it able to pivot up, down, left and right. wondering it you had any ideas. BTW, i have like 30 mini motors out of like old RC cars that either didn't have a controller or weren't working.

[Stormer94]

@bassnbows , could probably do the paint ball thing. Just takes time. :) Sounds like you have enough motors to make something happen!

[andrewthegarageman]

I want that car

[Stormer94]

@andrewthegarageman, come on up and take it for a test spin, kick the tires, etc. ...lol... :)

[squirrelkiller247]

Would consider consider making another one and selling it?

[Stormer94]

@squirrelkiller247, prolly, I don't know that anybody would be interested in paying me for the 450 hours I have into it, much less the parts. ...lol... :)

[Mr8863matthew]

@Stormer94 What servo did you use in this build?

[Stormer94]

@Mr8863matthew , hitec 805bb

[punch800a4]

Looks good I want to see it go looks tough good job

[sonicmanx20]

i want it!!!!!!!!!! lolim making a weed eater one and idk why i just suck at making the body

[Stormer94]

@sonicmanx20 , yea, making a body from scratch would be hard. No doubt about it.  Pop around on eBay see if you can find something you might like? :)

[sonicmanx20]

@Stormer94 k thanks ill try

[okimbeastly]

why don't you put a 3-4 hp briggs engine on it with some faster gearing only 8 mph for all that work = Epic fail possibly

[Stormer94]

@okimbeastly , for outside use, 8mph is slow, I'll grant ya that. This is run mostly indoors, and 8mph indoors is just right.  :)

[TheAngeljoker]

you must cover the electrics with plastic or to put them in a plastic box..

[Stormer94]

@TheAngeljoker , only if I plan to get it muddy or run it in water. i don't plan on either. ...lol...

[106rman]

Is that as fast as it goes

[Stormer94]

@106rman, yea, about 8mph. Not bad, all things considered. It's heavy and BIG! :)

[BrothrBob]

What kind of body do you have in mind for it

[Stormer94]

@BrothrBob , 1955 chevy

[jrooke1990]

hi i lick you rc car & i word like to now were did you get your electric parts for your car

because i am using a electric mobility scooter motor to make it move

but i have tride & tride to find the parts to a rc controller to make it run

can you help me plessssssss

[Stormer94]

@jrooke1990 , Not sure on scooter parts. have you tried one of those "EV" places? Electric Vehicle stuff.

[jrooke1990]

@Stormer94

thank you for the reply back

but the thing what i am makeing is a BIG electric RC Lorry & trailer

the hight of the Lorry & trailer is about 1/2 a 1m hi & the frunt of lorry is the same size of a electric mobility scooter frame & that y i am yousing the mobility scooter motor

[Stormer94]

@jrooke1990 , Man, I just don't know. that's pretty big stuff.

[steemy2]

AWESOME BUILD!

[Stormer94]

@steemy2 , thanks Mang.  :)

[clifford370]

You should put camera on it

[Stormer94]

@clifford370 , that's actually  a pretty decent idea. just for watching it back later, or trying to drive it "live"?

[clifford370]

@Stormer94 drive it live, i did the same thing to my rc carand its really cool

[Stormer94]

@clifford370 , sounds complicated.  you should post up a how to vid. ;)

[UNSCspartanLT110]

dude its an awsome idea but batteries? its gonna take all night to charge them and it would be faster to put an engine on it

[Stormer94]

@UNSCspartanLT110 , engine would be faster, no doubt about it. Batteries charge in an hour. That's not to bad. :)

[UNSCspartanLT110]

@Stormer94 yea its not but i would put a 15 hp engine then you could ride on it! lol

[Stormer94]

@UNSCspartanLT110 , rided it like a barstool, kind of thing. ;)

[Stormer94]

@nitroghost666,  8-10 mph

[123warlord123]

I think to get the most out of this truck would be to put a 6s LiPo in there :) thumb up if you agree.

[sherbutorange]

wow that looks really nice! is that a Fox Forx rear suspension from a bike?

[Stormer94]

@sherbutorange , Yea, air shocks from fox. :)

[FlashUser95]

Love it :)

[Stormer94]

@FlashUser95 , :)

[jimmymagnum07]

I put on of these motors on a bmx once with two drill batteries. And it was really shit, but I guess it was carrying me :p it's a nice looking rc anyway

[Stormer94]

@jimmymagnum07, thanks man. :)

[harrison2010feb]

im making one and its 24 volts (scooter moter).

[Stormer94]

@harrison2010feb , nice! Make sure you drive that beast at high volts to keep the power up!!! :)

[prakul27]

thnx ...and wat abt the rc system??

[Stormer94]

@prakul27, Spektrum Dx3r, as mentioned. :)

[prakul27]

which type of rc transmitter and receiver are u using ??

and what type of battery r u using ??

i mean volt and amps ??

[Stormer94]

@prakul27, Using Spektrum Dx3r. Battery is a 12 volt 16 amp hour battery. ;)

[Shift4chizzle]

top speed?

[Stormer94]

@Shift4chizzle , I'm thinking 8-10mph.  Just right for indoor driving fun. :)

[Shift4chizzle]

@Stormer94 thats very good!

[Shift4chizzle]

@Stormer94 o yeah i forgot, what is the range

[Stormer94]

@Shift4chizzle , whatever Spektrum is. I'm sure it's got to be 1/4 mile in any direction. For sure you can't see the car it's so far away. ;)

[Shift4chizzle]

@Stormer94 lol ok nice

[vahapp1]

niceeee

[tahishiem1234]

give it a pickle????? 0:49

[Stormer94]

@tahishiem1234 "give it THE pickle".. I think that somehow became Montana slang for "give it the throttle" about 3-4 years ago.

[Mygahelicam]

Very nice!

What kind of speed control are you use?

[Stormer94]

@Mygahelicam , Tekin RX8

[JGARR95]

EWWWWW NOT GAS!!?!?!?!?!

[Stormer94]

@JGARR95, I agree, gas would have been slick. However, we drive this indoors. Not the best idea to run a chainsaw engine indoors. ...lulz...

[36POINTBLANK]

@JGARR95 electric pwns gas

[3DPeter]

@36POINTBLANK

yeah, i prefer a electric motor above an pertol engine, because i hate the noise,

and a electric motor has more power than a petrol engine.

[JakeyyBoiProductions]

1 question, why suse a strong looking frame, and electric motor? :/

[Stormer94]

@JakeyyBoiProductions , Mostly driven indoors at large events where gas motor would not be allowed. :)

[altoid2k4]

"It's quiet, know what i mean?" do you mean that it doesn't make much noise? cause I'm not sure i follow.

[Stormer94]

"it's quiet". as in, it's not loud. ;) Pretty straight forward, really. m:)

[altoid2k4]

@Stormer94 haha i know I'm just messin' with ya looks like a pretty awesome set up you got there, when is the next vid comin' out?

[altoid2k4]

@altoid2k4 part 3 lawn tractor rc I mean.
