I have a Frankenstein RC car, way too much power to control (6s). I can't ever give it full throttle because as soon as i do it will do a backflip and if I get any speed with it and try to do a turn it just starts doing cartwheels while being launched into the air tripping over it's own front wheels. super fun and all but always broken hahaha. I usually put it in gimp mode to slow it way down. Full throttle also blows up the tyres if it's not on the ground. Thats after upgrading ALL the powertrain components to metal and some even steel. The drive shafts and axles have to be steel the plastic and aluminum just get twisted into pretzels.
@@OtakuSanel Sounds like it's too small and light for that kind of power! Tried adding some lead weights or something to it? Plastic drivetrain parts are absolute garbage, wears out instantly.
@@Wormweed I dunno I got a 5000mAH 6s battery right in the middle of it which is a big chunker and oversized wheels but it's still too much power. I had a wheelie bar on it before but that got ripped to shreds lol. it would try to flip over but hit the wheelie bar at which point all wheels went airborne and then it went all over the place since the wheeliebar doesn't really go straight. It's stupid fun though but yea always breaks. Right now my shocks are trashed (all aluminum too) so need to get a refurb kit for those
Buiz that’s actually not so hard to make with a 3D printer, the problem will be to figure out how to make it automatically engage/disengage at certain speeds
Probably won't be outrageously quick. Doubt it will be any quicker than just using a motor and a pinion without the gearbox before the over gearing results in the motor overhearing. I sure am looking forward to the results anyway.
Paul Busby I doubt that this motor will ever overheat given the fact that it's meant for 1/8 scale monster trucks with much more weight and rotational mass.
I used to have one of these..you can change the springs on the shifting arms.. stiffer spring= later shift.. then you could have second hit at around 40% throttle and 3rd hit at 70-80%. That will give you better usable gear ratio and better throttle feel instead of it basically going straight to 3rd and pulling high gear the whole time. Also will keep your motor cooler. Can't wait to see final results! Sweet build!
I would highly recommend either upgrading your radio or if that one can do it, adjust the exponential setting so you have more trigger travel in between gears.
mam that issue with first gear not disengaging is something we all wouldve over looked, i think everyone has done something similar. the classic, wow that seems like a simple fix then the wow i see what it was the way it was before. glad to see you owning up to it bc its easy to hide in a yt video, but we are all human and are lying if we say we havnt done that. great video though, i cant wait for part 2, i love your builds
Very nice, you may want to increase the shift point rpm so it doesn't shift too early. There may be too much load on the spur gears and in effect shredding them if it shifts at too low of an rpm... 😉👍 Nice, that thing is going to fly!
Wow,that was the LOUDEST "SNAP" I've heard in quite awhile!!! (or MAYBE it was because my throttle was up pretty loud too!?!?) But LOVED watching this build and can't WAIT for the NEXT video to see You test-drive this honey!!! Great job JohnnyQ90!!!
A tip for setting the height on your mill: Take a piece of paper and put it between the gap of the plate and the mill. When the paper gets scratched you are 0,1mm away from the surface. This saves your cutting edge. Nice work, keep it up =)
As a Schumacher and nitro lover myself I've never had an electric car, but man am I excited to see this thing go. It's going to fly. Lol. That motor is huge. I like the whole set up, you're such a perfectionist and make everything beautiful. Which I love beautiful I am also a perfectionist. But don't have your skills and fun tools, I wouldn't know how to use them. Lol But I love all of your videos buddy i can't wait to see what you do with this. I love my 3 gear "trans" myself. Mine pops wheelies every gear. I have the 21 tiger motor if I remember correctly. I have the on/off road truck. My uncle got me into this stuff and was great at it but sadly he passed Dec 24 2018 but he would have absolutely loved your channel as well. Fantastic work buddy.
Great idea! I've always wondered why 2/3 speeds are not available for normal electric cars and posted it on several groups. The only answer I got is that you can switch out electric motors for faster ones but using a 2/3 speed on your existing motor saves investing in more expensive motors/esc etc. Also I like the switching sound it makes :-)
JQ: Those standard tyres will last precisely 10 seconds. They’ll probably turn into pizza cutters and blow at high speed. Definitely recommend foam tyres, even if you need to get small ones and glue them onto large wheels. These might do the trick but Kyosho / Ofna 1/8 scale wheels tend to be quite large: www.ebay.com/itm/RC-4Pcs-Light-Foam-Tires-Nylon-Wheel-17mm-Hex-Set-For-HSP-1-8-Scale-Racing-Car/372401741806?hash=item56b4df9fee:g:wMUAAOSwFLBaWCy5 You’ll need to turn them down and the hexes will probably be the wrong size too, but foam has FAR less rotational inertia and a high speed blowout causes a LOT of damage!

Hi Johnny, I am wondering what is the name of the drill bit you use to drill counter-sink hole on the chassis? The drill bit used at 11:12 in the video. I am trying to drill a few M3 and M4 counter-sink hole on my RC car chassis. Thank you.
Love all the engineering that you do , I've been building and racing RC car all my life , you need to properly setup your radio and ESC , your settings are off that is why you have full throttle at 20% once this is adjusted correctly the car will be easier to drive.
When you showed how you added another ratchet ring to get reverse, I immediately thought “He might have some trouble later on because he did that.” Then I laughed when it suddenly popped up: “And that was a huge mistake.” Everyone learns, even when they seem like they know everything.
Each build as impressive as the last Johnny. I think you’ll appreciate the electric platform.. extreme power on tap. It’s also very simple... even though I can tell simplicity isn’t your thing! Thanks for all the hard work in editing to share with us. Always looking forward to your next project
You really inspire! I've startet to redo an old HPI savage X 4.6, and I've eyed out the exact esc/motor combo you've got there. I thing fun things are coming for us both!
I love that you put your mistakes in as well man. I've learned so much just from your mistakes it's not even funny. Thanks for your knowledgeable videos brother!
Hi Just Some Quick Advice, You can use a Gear either before or after the first gear wich Engages in the reverse direction but since all the gears will turn you should expect higher gear wear so you should probably look into other materials. Awesome Videos,Love the channel.
I had the old nitro version of the back 15 or 20 years ago. It was so fast and you need a good stretch of smooth road to open her up and get to 80-90mph. This is gonna be a fast ride!
How does gear changing happen when all three gears from the motor are touching all three for the drive? Is it to do with when the motor spins fast enough the centrifugal force increases so a rachet system or something like that inside the gears makes the higher gear engaged at higher motor speeds?
That's a very nice car, I have a few myself I haven't ran in some time. Some nitro some brushless. Sooner or later I'll upload some videos of the aluminum parts I'm making for the cars. Awesome video.
I`m really curious as to how that nylon will hold up under load, the gear engagement seems kinda brutal, but I have no reference point for something like this hehe.. Looking forward to see how it goes :)

The great thing about RC cars is that you never get tired of driving them.
Because they are always broken and you are waiting for new parts.

And that is why you don’t throw parts away in case something broke and you have spare parts to fix it
Hearing an electric rc shift gears like that was awesome! This car is going to be very fun to drive.
Its like a much louder, more supercharged sounding dogbox or sequential.
probably more like undrivable...even single speed electric RC cars can go too fast, this will reach that state well before 50% throttle...
@@AKAtheA only one way to find out ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Thanks for sharing ur feelings stuart little.
@@AKAtheA a gyro will fix that
That's a lot of power for that little car. It's going to rip! (apart)

I love this channel because you dont talk for 30 minutes and then go eat noodles then do 5 minutes of work. You get straight into it.
I surprised you haven't made a mini ugga-dugga gun for the wheel lugs
You mean a dak dak?
Brapa papa
An ugga-dugga is a unit of measure.. surely you mean the ugga-duggarer?
Its called a sappa-lampapa. Get it right
And here I was just thinking it was called an impact driver 😉😁
That brushless combo is a bit overkill im curious to see how those plastic gears survive
spoiler - they won't. There is zero heat management in that transmission system, except belt teeth giving some airflow. But it has nowhere to go.
I'm surprised he didn't make some gears out of 4041 and apply thermal grease on them
We could rebuild him. We have the technology.
Thank you for not ruining this video with annoying repetitive music :)
if you would come in front of me, i would give you a huge salute. you have increased my childhood excitement. love your artwork. love you too dear

I would highly recommend either upgrading your radio or if that one can do it, adjust the exponential setting so you have more trigger travel in between gears.
Yea I was looking at that and I was like Jesus if you sneeze and squeeze it slightly it's already gone down the street into a car😂😂😂
Given that the gears are shifted by RPM and there was zero load on the model, I suspect it will be much further spread out in actual driving.
@@hydrochloricity true true
No he need to tighten the 2 speed clutch for later engagement
@@racingrivals8934 true!
for a first ever rc electric car that you make, that is always a great success
It's actually his 467th one
I was SO happy to see that you quietly switched to XT60 and got rid of these bad deans connectors 😊

Love watching your build series, the try it approach and finding things don't work and then making a work around fix.... Its great fun.
Weird seeing electric but those brushless motors have the power nice build looking forward to the next phase.
Very nice, you may want to increase the shift point rpm so it doesn't shift too early. There may be too much load on the spur gears and in effect shredding them if it shifts at too low of an rpm... 😉👍 Nice, that thing is going to fly!
Good choice of motor/ESC. I honestly wouldn't be surprised if this thing hits 100mph
Max 8 combos are my go to esc and motor. Pretty brave of you to install it on a belt system.
Better a belt to slip than gears snap or frame bend.
14:57.. That vertical shaft steering bellcrank should be a lot stiffer and less wobbly for precise steering control.
Good point. I agree!👍
I like videos like this with no commentary gives me asmr vibes
Besides the loud drilling
congratulations for the project, execution and use of professional equipment 🚀👍

Okay that mistake with the ratchet was kind of fun
This thing is going to need 3" wide soft foam tyres running on carpet to get traction. Its going to be deadly.
Or gravel tires and moist grass :D
