Home made r/c car rolling road

[TestECull]

Not bad, but there's two issues here. One: You've got no cooling to the engine, which will make it run hot and mess up your tune. Two: It looks like that car's five seconds from leaping off the thing, doesn't seem solid.

[laurieh]

@TestECull Yeah I have a fan for when Its done properly...this is just a "show video". The car can't go forward or backwards as there are metal "barriers" stopping it and the elastic bands stop it falling off the side.

[BOOSTEDAZ1]

hey wat air filter is that and wood it fit on a 3.3

[Nekrokilla]

I think this is a great Idea I've tried using a box that held up the chassis but this I think would be a much better way to do it it's just not the same without the rolling resistance. Bravo to you.

[xd07shu]

it's an skeleton RC that they bought at the mall..

[Almeek91]

pml at these comments! laurie, do u know its not actually a dyno because it doesnt tell u the engines power! and "put it on the ground" lmao! x

[laurieh]

@Almeek91 roflharris

[ic3ywolf3n]

nice job :)

[daxter3001]

can i just ask why have you got that orange falesafe its is the unrelibulist one out of them alllll

[laurieh]

@daxter3001 You mean the most unreliable, well this one obviously hasn't failed and its been fine for 5+years.

[maynardr6]

@laurieh I have the same one...flawless for a year now.

[adrianrocky123]

@laurieh Dw bro that guys a dick



[LTjets21]

can u show us how fast the car actually goes

[curtmaster3001]

@TheHaywiremav i have the same thing and it just has the .15 engine electric start and it only starts when the planets are allighned right haha, but everything has to be perfect for it to start

[unaccurate]

minse is better

[laurieh]

@unaccurate Oh right.

[X7D379]

@unaccurate i dont know thats pretty sick

[mugmagic12]

not bad but i would like to see it on the mane road

[bloodreighn]

ooh looks like ur burning the clutch just to get those rollers moving!, I would suggest maybe putting the roller shafts on bearings??

[laurieh]

@bloodreighn The smoke at the end was just something (probably fuel) burning off the hot exhaust, nothing to worry about.

[Tunerboii2045]

@laurieh i would worry from what i can see its off ur engine and when it smokes its wayyyyyyy how aybe cos ur not moving no air goin thrugh the head???

[avn2sh]

that is cool. good idea!

[pyronathanpyro]

he is right a dyno has a dynometer and is used to set up gear shifting nd shit a rolling road is for setting up fueling as with model trains they are used to set up sound and shit

[MrSupra95]

drift car..... i like... i have a redcat aero supra from hpi... its sick but its electric... it goes like 25 though

[heli400]

I should make a treadmill for my r/c car... I think it's putting on a few pounds....LOL!

Did it work to set your fueling right?

[laurieh]

@heli400 Yeah I got higher percentage fuel so could turn the fuelling down more as better fuel = less heat too so could make it leaner.

[coconutdrops]

your gaskit is leaking mate

[plejmo7]

yeah, and the point is? you don't get any readings of horsepower and so on, which is the point of a dyno if I'm not totally mistaken. lol

[laurieh]

Its a rolling fucking road, not a dyno.

For the last time, Its to set the fuelling!!!!!!!!!!!

[plejmo7]

i think you got your names wrong, a rolling road is another word for dyno..

[laurieh]

@plejmo7, Yes I know people call it the same thing but this doesn't have a dynometer so isn't a dyno, its a rolling road, what else is there to call it?

[plejmo7]

who knows :P

[Cjayjonez]

do u ever drive it

[laurieh]

yes, read the info on the right why I made the video!!!!!!

[pentiumdoz]

pointless video

[laurieh]

why?

[hairyalien]

From the info panel on the right:

"I made a home made r/c car rolling road to set the fuelling accuratly (it's hard when the car is driving at 30mph odd)"

(Assuming you know how to read, of course)

[WhiteBrownYellow]

Try putting it on the ground

[laurieh]

What?

[WhiteBrownYellow]

fucking drive it...

[laurieh]

What the fuck do you think I do with it? keep it on the rollers for hours.

[WhiteBrownYellow]

who wants to see it just sit there on your fucking table.

[laurieh]

What table?

Thats why its called a rolling road, people look at it because they are interested, thats why you click on a video, so over 13000 people accidentially clicked on this vid?

[Laofse]

Nope, sounds normal to me.

[tomasthegroovy]

its not really a dyno if it doesnt tell u how much power it makes

[laurieh]

suppose so actually, its a rolling road then.

[theqman13]

you should have some type of fan or constant blow of wind on it to keep your engine from overheating.

[laurieh]

I have a fan for longer runs.

[mrmikey212]

Is that air filter stock ?

Looks nice Lol

[laurieh]

It is indeed

[1999151]

lets race

[cod4madass]

this is a very bad idea no air going over the heat sink which aint good

[laurieh]

yeah I've thought about that, I don't run it that long, I have a fan for longer runs.

[bullittube]

don't let the engine get 2 hot when i do something like this i douse the engine with nitro fuel but it is an expensive way :(

[laurieh]

You put fuel on your hot engine to cool it?

[bullittube]

yes it will not light at the temps the engine gets 2

[laurieh]

yeah it was more the oil in the fuel burning itself to the engine leaving black stuff everywhere, i was thinking.

[GrateGenin]

Hold it back with that piece of metal could strain your engine. You should design it so the car doesnt need any restraint.

[laurieh]

I don't see why putting a restraint on it would put strain the engine?

[GrateGenin]

Think of it this way. Your car would go too fast and jump off the dyno if there wasn't that metal restraint there right?

It's the same thing as holding back your r/c car to let it burn out or something.

[laurieh]

Oh right, the metal bit there is actually just so the car doesn't fall off the blue wheels as when I put it on the blue wheels it either falls backwards or forwards, its not holding it down in anyway, just keeping it on the rollers.

[nave4pres2]

Öyle çalışmaya devam ederse , rüzgar vurmadığı için(sabit duruyor) yanacak.

Bu arada meccano +12 metal editing set süper , bende yaptım ondan xD

[petroracehead]

what nitro do you use and percent where did you get the kyosho v-one s fromand how much

[laurieh]

20% model technics stuff

got it years ago for around £200 i think

[TranceYourDestiny]

where the results?

[laurieh]

Fine....it's a rolling road LOL

[wanmrox]

Hi, can you tell me how to made one dyno like your's?

[laurieh]

It was easy just got some old mechano and just built it as i went, also some big elastic bands to keep it from falling off.
