I Reveal the Sponsor of my Beast Car Project!
In this video I reveal the sponsor of my Beast Car project and unbox some of the parts they have provided me. I also give a sneak preview of my progress with a CAD spin.

How To Design a 200mph R/C Speed Car From Scratch!
มุมมอง 1.2K21 วันที่ผ่านมา
I'm going to introduce my new R/C Speed car project and describe the design process I'm using to make it a success! Calculations, CAD and CFD are explored, enjoy! Supported by Rob @YesMateRCMann Thanks Rob! Beast Class Quadcopter video: th-cam.com/video/O42aXvnUK6k/w-d-xo.html
Turning a DRONE into a FAST R/C Speed Car???!
มุมมอง 961หลายเดือนก่อน
In this video you will see how I made an R/C speed car out of an old drone, and how it did when I took it to ROSSA round 1 2024 at Llanbedr airfield! You may be surprised! There is a sneak preview at the end of a future project!

Hi and welcome to my MiniRC 1/20 scale buggy project! Thingiverse Link: www.thingiverse.com/thing:5264296 It turns out its fun to drive on track and can mix it up with the 1/10 cars! I designed it to be a fun, capable and durable little model for RC racing and practise in small areas. I race 1:10 RC buggies on carpet so I decided to go half the size of my racing car hence the choice of scale. T...

very cool Steve welcome to team YES MATE !
@@benhamer9125 thanks Ben! YES MATE!!
Another great video Steve, i really cant wait to see it all come together! Are we likely to see the car at round 3? Graham
@@rcraceandbash5472 hey Graham thanks for watching it! I am aiming for round 3, I'm not sure what state it will be in but hopefully will be able to do some runs 🤞 I have a lot of work to do! I Hope whatever you are doing for round 3 is going well. Funnily enough yesterday I was soldering connectors onto my lipos with 10 gauge wire using my Amazon soldering iron as per your recommendation 😀 it took max power but it did it nicely 👌
I can appreciate you must have a lot of work ahead of you. I only have two relatively simple cars and i worry if i will be ready! Glad the soldering iron worked out well for you. I had some goodies arrive from Mike at Onyx recently - he really is a great guy, so i spent the evening yesterday soldering 8mm bullets. Im hoping to get my 150 cap at round 3 and then go for the 175 next year. No doubt you will be hitting similar (or bigger!) numbers 🙂
I walk daily behind my crawler at a maximum of five miles per hour but still find your efforts interesting. Thanks for sharing and stay safe.
@@alans4281 thanks for watching, it's gonna be a journey!
The biggest problem people are having are the tires !!!!!!!! They blow apart at 200 mph
Nice to show the iterative design cycle. BTW, what CFD software are you using ? I know that it's a question of taste but is the background music ireally necessary ?
@@peterfelecan3639 hi and thanks for watching, yes I've been excited to show the iterative cycle, in future videos I plan to show how it went because it's moved on a long way from what I showed here. Thanks for the comment on the music, I think some of what I've used worked but not others, I'll be more picky with where and what I use in future! Using Simscale for CFD by the way which is free for your first 10 runs (with numerical results).
The pointy tip of your design is very sensitive to the direction of the oncoming air. Consider rounding it more. Forcing more air under the car might also increase the Bernoulli effect below the car, but better validate CFD.
Round it more when looking from the side right? I have been meaning to check the pitch sensitivity of my more recent designs but haven't got round to it yet. Maybe this week! Thanks for watching 👍
@@steveeng1826 Yes, it should be sensitive to bumps in the road. Rounding the nose more when looking from the side should fix that. You have got a nose like 🏎️ and you probably one want one like 🚗.
@@steveeng1826 add vacuum to the undercarriage. I don't know why full scale Land Speed Record chasers won't do it.
@@secretbassrigs this did cross my mind but I decided not to because I didn't want the extra weight and complexity. Plus if I can get the aerodynamics to work it would give downforce for free! Try it and let me know how it goes 😀
@@steveeng1826 there's an obscure AI maze race called MICROMOUSE that basically uses electric cars as Mice. it seems to improve traction and torque as much as it prevents "blowouts". good luck!
Great video Steve, look forward to the next one
Youll need a solution for your wheels. You cant 3d print something that can spin at 200 mph without flying apart. Even car tires with reinforced vulcanized rubber and steel rims need to be specially designed for 200 mph. Check your Aero stability too. Are those tail fins big enough to keep you straight and will you flip up like a Mercedes at Le Mans when a little wind gets under the car? if you find your motors shattering magnets and bending their shaft JustCuzRobotics makes some hyper durable brushless motors for a premium but they're custom made to be high speed hub motors.
@@Drawliphant thanks for watching, yes I'll be using off the shelf wheels for this car rather than 3d prints that should be capable of 200mph. I haven't got a way of simulating lateral stability so I'm going to have 2 sizes of fins and the option to have up to 3 of them! They are definitely necessary, I ran my old car without them once and it went all over the place then crashed.. I think I have a solution for getting balanced downforce front and rear but will have to see how it performs in real life! Cheers for the tip on the hub motors 👍 Steve
Great vid , see you at round 3
So wheel on motor huh? no suspension? Not worried about the bearings in the motor?
Hey, thanks for watching it! Actually it does have an innovative leaf spring type suspension system of my own design, I'm looking forward to showing that in a future video. The bearings are a concern, they were on my first car too although they proved slightly more durable than the spindly 3mm motor shafts! The loading direction is better on the car than in a drone (radial rather than axial) and they have a 175kg radial load capacity, so I'm hopeful they will be fine! We shall see!
I love your videos dude! I would love to see more comtent like this!
what i wanna know is how to setup flight controller to make motors behave like car ! like i want to do this can you make a tutorial pls lol i want to make one myself i have a fpv drone already with crossfire but i wanna convert it into miniature tank with tracks on it lmao
Yes good idea, I'll do this in a future video. Its fairly simple, just changing the mapping from memory.
Did you do any major changes to the PID loop, or any of the other quad-centric features in betaflight? (Did you use betaflight?)
Hey, I'm using Inav, I didnt change the PID's at all actually! Just changed the mapping.
ha! sick.
Hi Botgrinder great to hear from you and thanks for watching it! I'm a follower of yours! keep up the good work ❤
Really great to see new concepts tried in speed running. Lots of great control in those drone flight controllers. Maybe some more CFD testing with the body is needed. The shape might create some lift.
@@Liberty.Francis thanks 👍 I'm using CFD and plan to make a vid on that soon 👌
@@steveeng1826 awesome looking forward to seeing it
You deserve 100,000 subscribers 🔥🔥😎😎
Hey Steve, only just got a minute to sit and watch the video. It was great to see some of the development that went into the car. Looking forward to seeing what you and Rob come up with. I have an idea of what you might be planning, but im just going to wait to see it at rd3 lol. I was blown away by this car. And it was great to see you go faster and faster through the weekend. Cant wait to see what you can do next time. See you in September Graham
Hi Graham, thanks for watching it. I'm looking forward to catching up with you and OB in September!
Is it pointing towards you or have i forgottn how tank stearing works?
Hey, yes its pointing towards me in the video, sorry I didn't mention that!
Amazing work Steve looking forward to the next instalment
I’m sure your videos will be epic!
epic build dude! cant wait to see what you do with it next

nice man printing mine now 18:05.24 (hour/minute/second) left in it
what radio did you use?
nevermind dx4 is a good choice i run my hpi vorza flux on one
how fast do you reckon it goes?
I will be downloading and printing this soon. I'll let you know how progress goes on thingiverse
Excellent, I look forward to hearing how you get on with it👍 If you need any support let me know. I plan on making some more build videos as I make another car for my son but it's not done yet.
Looks like it can handle some bashing! Great job!
Thanks, yes it crashes well for a 3d printed car!
