I was just about to say that. He should get a resin 3d printer for scale parts and an fdm printer for strong parts. I've printed RC spares in nylon before and they were plenty strong.
@@moimoi2682 True, but I've never broken glass fiber reinforced nylon (reinforced blue trimmer cord). It prints incredibly well at 265⁰C. I see a lot of videos where nylon parts delaminate but that only happens because the printer isn't printing hot enough. I would highly recommend trying it. Try regular round blue cord first then you can try various other reinforced trimmer cords. Reinforced cord will wear out and clog nozzles and destroy drive gears but the end result is amazingly tempature stable and durable.
But you do forget that 3d printing is a 'nested hobby' (separate hobby in a hobby (in a hobby)):P Ex. I've started with FPV drones, then buying a 'decent/cheap' 3d printer to print some parts, ended up with tweaking the printer every now and then and printing stuff i don't need- it can be blurring your focus. I would say: 'Kevin, find someone who loves 3d printing and make him stop printing useless... stuff'' :D
Very creative kev! That blue plug on the revo trans is for the opti-drive system. Opti-drive is just a safety system to keep the trans from being shifted from fwd to rev n visa versa while the truck is moving. That blue plug is the sensor to tell the opti-drive the truck has stopped n will let it shift fwd/rev. I took the opti out of my revo 3.3. The opti is also a failsafe
Pretty sure the cable coming out of the transmission is a lock out for reverse, it wont let you engage reverse unless the transmission has stopped spinning. The steering set up needs to be like a lot of the 1/14th Semi truck's and also like the HPI Wheelie king you just need to mount the servo on the left hand side of the chassis and the short rod that used to steer off the servo needs to be extended back to where ever you mount the servo so the dervo becomes a push pull set up.
Nick you are right, you need to connect it to the optidrive module for it all to work properly (in theory) unless if you want to bang-shift it in reverse...
It's the rpm season the point drive is a different thing and wont let it shift in to reverse if the throttle servo is active I've just replaced my opit drive on revo 3.3
Put a servo horn, the L model upsidedown in a bearing under the front chassis, just before the fan, and a rod under the chassis to the steering servo, and there you are. problem solved.
I was really excited when this build started, it’s actually why I started watching this channel. Why did the build stop here? What happened to this awesome little crawler?
That blue plug is an optical sensor and it plugs into a module called 'Optidrive'. It's connected with your throttle servo and reverse channel also. The Optidrive prevents shifting from a forward gear while moving into reverse (and vice versa) so you don't strip your gears. It's not required for the gear changes to work though.
For the steering kev use a half shaft/ drive shaft similar to the one on that crawler, the u joint would give you some much needed adjustment, then use a bearing and weld/ jb weld that to the underside of the engine’s mounting plate, allowing the drive shaft from the server to be held firmly in one spot
With a 4 stroke, you can easily build a full exhaust system that exits at the rear like a full sized car, keeping the oil mess off the chassis. You can do it with a 2 stroke, but it changes the exhaust tuning, so way easier with a 4 stroke.
Too f*&^ing cool!! I've followed these builds on the other channels you mentioned but love the direction you're going with yours. Having a REAL crawler when you're done - something that's actually capable - is going to be awesome!!
Have you ever seen a rc with a real engine probably not but have you seen a real car with a motor like a rc car No but have you seen a real CAR with a real engine YES
I did a mid mounted steering servo like you were talking about on a wpl. I rigged up a pitman arm setup on the front axle and it worked great. Eliminated trying to run steering linkage straight off the servo without a servo horn
These are the videos that keep me interested! Don’t get me wrong, I do like the bashing videos but this keeps my attention a little better. Great job Kev keep up the good work and pump out some more of these!
Hey Kevin, I have been watching your videos for a long time and I saved up and bought a rustler a long time ago now I have crawlers to bashers and carpet racers you really have inspired me to get into this really awesome hobby!!
try find some rubber washers-spacers to put between the engine and chassis to avoid vibration of the chassis.just like in real cars Kev.

3d printing could help you solve alot of your mounting requirements

why has no company done this before? well make your own and sell them!
RC Crew dont makemover 70$
True im sure he would make a lot of money
RC Crew heay thats a good idea the thing is is the pricetag lol
Can you give me 1 of your RC??PLEASS😊😊cause i cant buy an RC BECAUSE i dont haveoney to buy!!😭
@@rymj-fersonsalhay321 well propally no, get a job and buy one yourself

I want to see this 4 stroke build agin I Know it was a year ago
3 years now
I was really excited when this build started, it’s actually why I started watching this channel. Why did the build stop here? What happened to this awesome little crawler?
Haha. It probably stayed built "temporarily".
Hay bud. U need to finish this one.
Yes same
Any update on this vid?
Finish this build !!!!!!!!!🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 well done

Ahhh the good ol' "temporary mounts"
"Nothing is more permanent then a temporary solution that works" 😂
- old Russian proverb
So true
Just so true
This guys Really sounds like colinfurze
Well yes there both British
He does
No he doesn’t, this guys from around Kent
He can hear you...
Thats like saying Jonathan Ross and Jeremy Clarkson sound the same
Awesome work brother! Love it. This is what makes the hobby fun and exciting.
It is good work and I am one of your subscribers

It looks like the engine is actually made for this
This is by far my favorite project RC that you’ve worked on. Great job so far!
I’m diggin this build!
She sounds amazing 🤘🏼😎🤘🏼
This thing is what I like. Finding solutions to solve Problems. I hope that you continue this Project. Cheers mate.

I love the engine in this setup. Would love to see this in an RTR.
KC RC couldn’t agree more
Can't wait to see this finished, I love how cavalier your attitude is to this project lol.
So happy you managed to get the entire thing to actually move! Epic progress and it will be awesome when its done!!! Can't wait!
I love ur vids and it’s my b day today 23 of January in Astra skiing and playing with udr in the snow amazing
Pro Fortnite genjo happy birthday 🍰
Happy bday buddy 🤟
Been watching this build since day one turning out quite nice Kev !!! Lovin it buddy
Thanks for the like kev huge fan here in OHIO USA always watching the crawler 4 stroke was amazing Mach up so much torque insane
So amazing this is truly shows how far we have come with technology these days so sweet.
Now this is an awesome build! I can't wait to see where it goes from here.
Interesting project so far. Have you delved much into 3D printers and designing your own parts? It makes projects like these a lot easier.
Not at all
Did you ever finish this project?? I'd love to see the finished product.
You are a genius kev! I was blown away the second I saw the vehicle even twitch. Good job and keep up the awesome work!!!!
Man this is an exciting build! I'm glad it runs and has all the torque on the planet to gear it up from!!
"Its a live!!"

Insane building!!! Cant wait to see it in action!
Look up "rc hydraulic steering test" on You tube could try something like that.
Just to let you know one of your front tyres is on backwards 😁
haha i know, thanks :)
I love what you’re doing with this
This is so cool I can’t wait to see this done and how it does
This wire what coming out of transmission is made to shifting gears
When demolition derby
Go back to this build, we would love to see it finished
I've been waiting to see it running. Can't wait to see the next vid
This Video: *exists*
Me: Aren't motors supposed to be engines for RC cars?
Well yeah but this more realistic :D
Have you ever seen a rc with a real engine probably not but have you seen a real car with a motor like a rc car No but have you seen a real CAR with a real engine YES
Looking good so far can't wait to see it full out much love an respect from Hamilton Ontario Canada 🇨🇦 ✌ looking forward to seeing your next video
🤛🔨🇨🇦
Al Piner hamilton? i’m from london 😂😂
Im not even into crawling but i love watching your vids on this crazy custom build.
I check your channel everyday awaiting this build lol, that thing is freaking amazing
2 views but 24 likes 🤦♂️ dont make sense lol....love your video's dude
It only counts if you watch the full video.
what happen with this?? did Kev ever finish this one?
Awesome!! Finally finished
It's absolutely awesome how you run Baja claws on your model and on your land rover!
johnnyq90 has made a custom modded street car with one of those
That guys projects are so cool. Didn’t he try to turbo/super charge one?
@@BusbyBiscuits turbo charged I think
Slap a big turbo on it and you be running faster than a Honda and run early 9s at the drag strip.
This is going to be epic! 🇬🇧 engineering at its finest!
Awesome build! Looking forward to the finished article!
3:59 he’s bleeding a bit
Nah go away I'm first god dammit
No one cares that ur first sorry
@RCnIT ! Every sad git is doing it!!!
Almost as pathetic as the people who are like.
"Blah blah blah" "hit the like button if you agree"
🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬
It took me so long to get someone to reply and I finally achieved it!
RCnIT ! But I do agree with you
It's gorgeous! Nice work Kev!
Living my dream! Your RC workshop is insane, love it. Been watching your videos all day. BIG thumbs up from Canada
Well done Kevin. I can't wait to see the result, keep on giong. Ciao Nanni
Sick this is what the hobby is all about
Oh my god I can’t wait till this is done !!!👏👏👏👏👏👏
FINALLY! Been waiting for this vid for ages
So close! Yours gets big style points... RC Tanks and trucks turned out pretty cool too...
that plug is for the optidrive its a sensor that doesnt let you shift into reverse unless you stop completely you dont need it
Damn bro you left us all hanging 😩😩😩
Don’t worry to much Kev, you will make it work. Don’t let it stress you.
Finally it worked so cool
Traxxas slash 4x4 vxl on the way for me!!! All because of you and your crew. First rc ever and I'm going big...lol...thanks guys
So awesome, just great, I’d like to see that refined and some proper crawling out of it!!!
Great video once again👍
I did a mid mounted steering servo like you were talking about on a wpl. I rigged up a pitman arm setup on the front axle and it worked great. Eliminated trying to run steering linkage straight off the servo without a servo horn
Great work Brother! love your concept , very adjustable set up, and it will crawl up a wall, Love it!!
These are the videos that keep me interested! Don’t get me wrong, I do like the bashing videos but this keeps my attention a little better. Great job Kev keep up the good work and pump out some more of these!
for your steering issue the Capo Ace 1 has cable driven steering to a servo would work an give much more options for servo placement
Very excited about this build
I'm glad it works kev.
I think Kevin might be the first guy who created nitro crawler :3 keep it up
Kev! That is the coolest little vice you’ve got! ❤️ 👨🏼🔧
That sounds so sick
Yes, that is so awesome!
Yes i love this series
That’s so cool I wish I had one
That thing has loads of potential Kevin it's a beauty!
now thats EPIC!!!
nice kev, can't wait for the end result
Great vid
I have been waiting for this 😀
Finally I how been waiting for this
plz make a long video about this car plz we really want to see this thing work perfectly
Keep the crawler build series going
So far you're the greatest rc youtuber so far keep it up.
Awesome to see that drive kev! Awesome enginuity! 🤙
So much complication, it's incredible that it works. Super impressed with proof of concept.
Love these videos, excited to see your progress
NICE IT RUNS!
Thank you for making this video today!
Hey Kevin, I have been watching your videos for a long time and I saved up and bought a rustler a long time ago now I have crawlers to bashers and carpet racers you really have inspired me to get into this really awesome hobby!!
Finally no thumbs down!!! Congratulations
And the truck is awesome!
haha theres loads now! lol
@@KevinTalbotTV those basterds!😂
OH BOY !! that's sick !
Love that thing .. great job
Esto es lo maximo de máximo bros. Felicito al canal y acotar que no entiendo como puede existir gente que ponga dislike, si no les gusta no vean.
This is something I'm highly interested in! I really hope you make some more video content based on this bad boy!!🔥 So awesome. Keep it going!!!!!
Love your channel and your work, you've inspired me into getting into rc cars brotha
The 4 stroke sounds so much better than the screaming 2 strokes - it's a triumph!
