[Motorizedgags119]

Make that beast a snow plow!!



[Stormer94]

@Motorizedgags119,it's possible, that's the greatest idea EVER!!!! ...lol...

[Southcoast1958]

Who i can get the car Shell and it,s possible send to Spain ??

[Stormer94]

@Southcoast1958 , I got the fiberglass body on eBay. It's big, I'm sure shipping would be relatively expensive.

[PSNplayer89]

how muth is thatin kilo gramms?

[Stormer94]

@PSNplayer89 , I suppose that's around 50kg

[PSNplayer89]

@Stormer94 holy shi* thats a big ass servo :D

[Stormer94]

@PSNplayer89 , ;)

[attpureownpk]

how many amps are the batteries your using?

[Stormer94]

@attpureownpk, exact total? Don't know. Never driven the car long enough to kill the batterys. Not sure what it draws.

[madde78273]

building one of these myself, bought same servo you are using but in the metal gear version, however it doesn't have enough power to turn my wheels. they are 10" diameter hand truck wheels, have a 2.5" servo horn and the spindles have a 5 inch horn on each of them. I will try lubing them but do I need to bring the servo horn hole in closer to give the servo more mechanical advantage?

[Stormer94]

@madde78273, servo doesn't need to move the wheels much at stand still, as long as it moves them when the car is moving. :)

[madde78273]

@Stormer94 ohh ok well I just got the servo mounted in today. used 10-24 screws and some rubber to give it a little softer mounting surface then the steel tubing it bolts to. greased my spindles, and moved the hole closer and it turns the wheels while stationary but not very much. think I need something in the middle. thanks and your vids inspired me

[Stormer94]

@madde78273, well it should help. Doesn't matter what it does while stationary, as long as it works while moving. :) Keep up the good work!

[ypachache]

Hi I have about your video is excellent and I wanted to tell you if you could acer another of the same but as you assemble, you and I hope that does it.

[bassnbows]

i looked on you website for the speed control, and didnt find the RX8, which other one would you recommend for a motor with a little bit more torque than a 325 watt?

[Stormer94]

@bassnbows , type rx8 in the serach under "description, look for", then RX8

[richardarichter123]

super nice ladder bars front inipendent suspension one wicked rig

[Stormer94]

@richardarichter123 , thanks man. :)

[JoseDJimenez]

You need stiffer springs, but don't take it from me cause I never even built a RC car from scratch ! Nice job ! Go big ! Go Gas !

[Stormer94]

@JoseDJimenez , you should build one. Even if it sucks, the next one will be better. Gotta start somewhere. GO FOR IT!!!  :)

[deaftodd]

@JoseDJimenez Go gas? Are you a republican?

[Stormer94]

@deaftodd , lulz

[TheFluffyVanquisher]

u should put an lawn mover engine in that car it would be epic :D

[Thijs18588]

u should put an chainsax engine in it!!!!!!!!!

[Stormer94]

@Thijs18588, I'm with ya, that would be cool!!!! I should build another one with a chainsaw motor in it. Run the rear tires off the chain saw bar, would be epic! :)

[subarunation100]

Omg I want one!!!!!!!!

[Stormer94]

@subarunation100 , send certified check, cash, or money order to.... ;)

[hellraised187]

@Stormer94 0:35 Are those balljoints? Where did you get them?

[exoticg9]

put a nitro or gasoline engine on that

[Stormer94]

@exoticg9 , sure would add some power, no doubt about it!  :)

[exoticg9]

@Stormer94 Hum thats better ;)

[NitroDog19]

With a bigger esc,high amp 10s lipo,and 1000watt aftermarket "razor scooter" style motor. Mann thatll be da shitt! Great job dude

[rccrawler]

Hey Bob, I finally got the cadillac I am building going enough for a test run!

[Stormer94]

@rccrawler , I saw that. Excellent work. Almost brought a tear to my eye imagining how you must have felt with smiling, happy, laughing children in your hand made car. It'a a beautiful thing if you think about it. :)

[Stormer94]

[KeithWasHere1]

did you do this from prints or plans? or was it like grind it cut it build it type of deal?

i like the design very much seems to be a good solid bomb proof system.

would you mind terribly if someone were to copy it? not in whole but perhaps in part here and there?

[Stormer94]

@KeithWasHere1 , made it on the fly, no plans. ONLY build criteria was the wheels and tires, and then I just matched it all up. :)

[KeithWasHere1]

what are the tires and rims off of?

[Stormer94]

@KeithWasHere1 , Wheels and tires are Burris kart stuff.

[poo979]

you could hook up two of the scooter motors. you would get more power for hills but not more speed

[andrewstunna08]

have you ever thought of puting a 49 cc pocket bike engine on it. it would fly like 50 or so. and i bet you could ride on it to.

[andrewstunna08]

have you though about mounting up a pocket bike engine to it. 49cc i bet that thing would move about 50 mph or 80 kmh

[Stormer94]

@andrewstunna08 , would be sweet.  :)

[MullinPerformance]

Great project and build! It's a little slow for my taste, but A+ on the craftsmanship. You got the suspension, let's see some air! :)

[Stormer94]

@MullinPerformance , Thanks man. Little slow for me too, But you have to walk before you can run. I'd like to try and catch a bit of air, but need to be going faster first. I think in the coming months that is likely to happeh. :)

[MullinPerformance]

@Stormer94 I'm thinking a Ampflow A28-400 Motor and 36 volts would make those back tires slicks... good job tho! I subbed and cant wait for updates...

[Stormer94]

@Gatchey , which parts?

[JWbrasser]

Any plans on using the full 24 Volts? should speed her up to positively race car like speeds...

[Stormer94]

@JWbrasser , Yea, I keep thinking 24volts would help a lot.  Be fun if it would do a crazy burnout. :)

[jeffrelee]

Sweet....awesome project.

[Stormer94]

@jeffrelee , thanks. :)

[GuRRaable]

Thats a beautiful work! i wish that i had one like that but a chevelle..and a little v8 engine :) and brakes and all stuff..

[Stormer94]

@GuRRaable, send suitcase full of money, I'll build you one. ...lol... ;)

[GuRRaable]

@Stormer94 haha :D

[ruralrick]

Great job Stormer. I'm a little late to the show. I stumbled on this build today and love it.

[Stormer94]

@ruralrick , :)

[prakul27]

which servo u used in ur car ..??

[BOBKB3NZX]

Hey Bob, i RECCOMEND the syren 25 amp motor driver for this kind of stuff, do a search for them, they are tough and WILL do the job

[CoDxKiiNGz]

105 pounds is fucin heavy maan! but still good work

[madmax16117]

I've been checking out your build and was wondering where you got the shocks.

[Stormer94]

@madmax16117 , They are just mountain bike shocks. :)

[mrsgloriapender]

how many oz in of tourqe is in your servo

[Stormer94]

@mrsgloriapender , 343 oz inches at 6 volts.

[blacksmith311]

You and your creation is an inspiration to all of us RC addicts! Thank you for your intelligence and determination! "What man has done, he can do"

[Stormer94]

@blacksmith311 , you are very kind.  I don't know that you can call it work when it's that fun. :)

[djnelsonmaxmix]

NICE TIRES

[Stormer94]

@djnelsonmaxmix, yea, Burris tires for the win. :)

[phill903]

Nice job!

[MrRoosterLew]

Nice Bob!

[yellowspectre]

Sweet project
