- Years earlier I built this homemade rc car. It has a chainsaw engine and the frame is made of steel tube.
The car has spent most of its days sitting in the garage but over the years it has seen many updates. For example the suspension and electrical system have been suspects to major changes.
Most recent update includes a new custom build steering servo which is introduced in this video.
I hope you enjoy it and perhaps it's an inspiration for a project of your own! - ยานยนต์และพาหนะ
Nice work. I built a quarter scale buggy back in the early 80s with a homelite chainsaw engine. Wish I had 3d printers and arduino boards back then. Still have the car on a shelf.
revamp it
Would love to see it man!!! That's awesome
Estou montando o meu
It’s amazing that you created this from nothing yourself. All credit to you. It’s great especially when you open it up! I was just thinking to myself ‘well, it’s slow but it’s still brilliant’ then you turned on the gas and I thought wow that’s so cool!👍
The previous tenant of my house left a chainsaw, no idea if it works. I think it might be time to find out. If it does, I'll have to go over to my dad's and see if I can't dig out the old kid sized ATVs to cannibalize... this is summer is shaping up to be very interesting.
Well...? Did it work?
@@matthewclark6239 Haha, unfortunately no. The Husqvarna had zero compression, and a piston kit to fix it cost as much as a used saw that ran.
@@K-Anator that’s sad
@@outdoorsadventures3722 Eh, figured there was a reason he left it behind. Not that I've been actively looking, but if I came across a used saw at the right time I'd definitely give it another go.
Gonna need something soon actually, my brushless ESC caught on fire last week, so no more hucking the DT-02 around the neighbourhood, for a bit.
@@K-Anator you can get chainsaws at yard sales for really cheap I've gotten 4 at once for 20 bucks and only one did not run from a bad coil
i loved how you explained the servo mechanism :D
Awesome build! That bent front right rim shows how much fun you have had with it! :D
FANTASTIC BUILD FOR YOUR EFFORTS, WELL DONE.
You have to do a top speed run with it. I'm sure others are curious as well.
Parabéns pela idéia e pela construção! Estou deitado me recuperando de uma cirurgia e tive a idéia de um Carro RC com motor de motosserra, mas antes resolvi pesquisar se já existia e encontrei seu vídeo! Belo trabalho e fico feliz que disponibilizou o projeto para os construtores caseiros! Tenho vontade de fazer um RC Chainsaw Engine no estilo Ford Focus WRC AWD hahaha Congratulations from Brazil!! 🎉
killer work on the servo! great job man!!!
I never thought about that! Badass brotha, that's an awesome ide. Great fabrication skills too!!
That thing is massive dude, that’s awesome
That is some really great work, one of my biggest challenges is trying to figure out how to turn a large R/C. Very cool project !!!
That servo is amazing!
Nice piece of at home engineering. You have some talent.
What a beautiful place to live. And what a nice build
This is freaking awesome man I have a hpl 5b I have often thought about building my own chassis for it good work man I love it
Ave idea . Liked seeing the hamdle in the cab
This is awesome, i love that engine sound.
Very beautiful place and rc model!
Rack steering is great design. Modern full size Autos using electric steering. Your software and mechanical engineering is good.
Geez that's a mini gocart... Awesome build
Reminds me of the Raco 1/4 scale cars! Love it!
Great looking build.
Thats beautiful, what an inspiration!
Not to bad!!! It6 hard to make something from scratch. Much respect.
Really nice and I think can be further improved by adding negative camber at the front wheels to increase practical cornering speed
Wow that looks like it built really nice looks like it’ll last forever lol. Awesome
Now there's an RC car you wouldn't want hitting your leg. Well made.
Wow , i like the repurpose of the parts , dope 👍
Nicely done man, very cool 😎
Awesome build man !
Nice. Combustion seems more real than battery power. Love seeing 2t smoke and smells good too😷😀
Very nice work, man. I love the sound of it. Chainsaw on wheels lol.
2 scared to hit the throtle
really nice car and video!
Handles and runs as good as it looks (:
Thats pretty neat. Thank you for the video.
Incredible work
Great build. Sounds like my like my little Peewee i had as a nipper.
Biggest problem with this is that it's not in my shed! Nice work brother! 🙂
I like this thing. Sounds like a saw for sure
This is pretty cool what you made. 😄 My only suggestion put some wider tires on it for better traction.
Incredible job! I love it and I’d like to show you how to drive it sometime
So you have driving school?
Great build.
Mad skills. Impressive.
Make more videos.
Now it just needs a pov camera, some paddle tires, and sand dunes ;) nice work I dig it. Great way to deliver pizza or whatever at little Sahara ha ha.
Nice build man
Nice build.
Fantastic job 😎
As of right now there's a new need in my life.
this is awesome, you just got another subscriber!
That’s the way the hobby should be nice work 👍
That is SO COOL!!! How long did it take for you to make it? It's definitely the perfect size as if I ever built one from scratch, it'd definitely be 1/5th scale. As I think that's the perfect size before it gets too big.
Is there a reason you stuck the steering in front of the axle instead of behind? I'm only thinking that it could be damaged if it got hit or it ran into something, that's all.
Thanks! I would say it took me about six months to design and build the first iteration of the car. Back then the front suspension was different and it had different electric components. Plus there are many other updates made since then so I'm guessing the car will never be "finished". In my opinion this is the reasonable maximum size for an rc car because it becomes difficult to transport with a normal sized car.
The only reason the steering is in front of the axle is that there was simply no room behind for the linkage. You are right that it could be easily damaged in an accident. Also the steering geometry would be better if it was behind the axle. I was eager to have a test drive with the new servo setup so this is the configuration I ended up with. At some point in the future I might modify the frame a little.
Good job!
The steering servo design is Bad Ass!!!
what! this thing is amazing!
Hello man,
this is awesome, I love this. Do you have any plans for built it? I can pay for it...
GOOD JOB
The sound is fking awesome!
Love the engineering
I don't know when you built it but since probably 2016 there's been mass market electric RCs that would leave this thing in the dust in terms of acceleration and top speed. Maybe not so much in the run-time but batteries are so much cheaper these days that that kinda doesn't matter.
On the other hand those electrics don't have that delicious chainsaw sound.
Cool build. You need to build a full size.
RCtestflight did a longevity test of some RC cars. They lasted a few weeks I think.
I give this one 10 years.
50cc rc car, that's freaking massive
Wow thats pretty fast, imagine a V6 made of those
next, adapt mower blade, your tops buddy. great rc buggy!
GREAT JOB
Bravo excellent Job I give 🏆🏅for job well done
Can it have a smaller rear axle sprocket? I got the sensation that it can be faster. Great job too!
Needs larger tires for sure. Plus chainsaws like higher rpms . so I would gear it way lower still with the bigger tires. I would know a few people who would love to run those on the personal dirt track.
Very Innovative project 👌👏
Can you tell us Arduino how to setup ?
In this case ?
Not a steering servo, its rack an pinion, very cool! Would love to have the CAD files!
I was wondering two things the 1st if it was possible to have the 3d project of the servo box and the 2nd if it was possible to have the code you used for Arduino.
Thank you very much and wonderful car
I’ll be looking for the video where hopefully you actually open her up. That thing is sick
Dude that servo you built is fricking awesome man.
@@kravenkrawlhobby5438 Thanks!
That's just awesome
This is amazing but how did you Create the clutch system ?
Properly done.
Really interesting project! Looks great. How much is this car weight?
Thanks! It weights 41kgs / 90lbs.
@@willaa303 wow weighs a lot! Nice.
Noooo... Really???
41kg??? That's over 90lbs!
Geez, buddy... That's one hell of an RC car!
Cool!
Very cool
I was waiting for it to shift in second gear but much respect i know it takes a lot of time to do something like this one of's/prototyping is always lots of work but this came out really sexy 200% give that man a double bell's 👍👍
Home grown RC 👍💪😀🇬🇧
that's tight!
Brilliant!
Fantastic.
Should've left the chainsaw blade on the rig.lol. cool for sure chase the bears away
nice sw skill
I f%%king love it!!!
Nice concept rig, but racing 1/5 scale stadium truck, I'm gonna need 3 times the steering speed, and about 50° steering angle. This ain't a dis, just a thumbs up and a keep at it from an old guy that's been into RC for about 40 years.
Look up nitro tether cars.
Have fun
10 out of 10 bro
That's awesome! Good job. Whats the top speed? Why go so slow in the video?
Thanks man! Top speed around 60 km/h. The driving space was very limited in this video so it was not safe to drive any faster
I wouldn't mind having one of those running a Saito or OS 4st on gas. I would think a 150 would do the job.
thanks.
Sick!
Like to see it wide open on a long road
How do you only have 506 subscribers? Shit, I’ll make it 507!
Nice
Awesome
Aww no sick jumps?
What wheels are you using? I was not able to find wheels this size that have decent grip and are somewhat balanced (mine wabble like crazy)
I'm using the smallest lawnmower tires and rims that I could find for the rear. Those are quite ok, not too wobbly. The front wheels, on the other hand, are some el cheapo wheelbarrow wheels and they sure need more lateral grip. I've been looking for better wheels for some time now.
@@willaa303 look at small motorcycle wheels! Like a 49cc or so
If you took a shotgun shell that was only loaded with gunpowder, could you fire it into a compressed air tank to create pressure which drives an air motor? So for example, this car would have five shotgun shells which fire into a tank which powers the car. When the pressure in the tank falls below 50 psi, it automatically fire the next shell.
nice
Very nice! You would like to see my car, made with a 49cc pocket bike engine👍👍
Thanks! Sure I will check it out!
