- ****Engine cover has since been removed as seen in the thumbnail.
A custom 1:5 Traxxas Emaxx with a 25cc Echo weedeater mounted to make it go. Done in a short period of time on a minimal budget. Most of the parts are simply re-used or re-purposed junk. The body is one of the only things purchased; it is from a KingMotor T1000.

Hey Parker, this is a super video and easy to learn from. You have a great "teaching" voice that is very professional but keeps us interested through entire experience. Produce more! We can't wait...
Hey man I never watch these kind of videos cause I'm 43 and I used to race these back b4 I had a driver's license and I loved every second of it I was so deep into all of it I could go on that's why I never watch them cause I would be sucked back in and never get out lol but reason I gotta say dude your a very bright individual and you know what your doing and looks like you live it and take pride in creating your own thing man. That's what the world needs is more people like you so keep it up I subscribed and I haven't even seen what your channel is about but if it's like this one video well than I'm hooked again brother
Love this is a great low cost way to have fun. I have thought about this many times. I so glad you did it. Thanks for sharing this video with us.
Badass build man! Many people only chose to go by the book but this is the type of out of the box thinking I enjoy! Really shows that you're only limited by your imagination!
Hey Parker. I ditto what my sister Janet said. We were raised with a father who was a mechanic and brothers who are all "wheel heads". I wish you the best in your great project. Keep up the good work. PS. I am also one of Debbie's sisters, too. Plus, we have 5 brothers.
Linda Luster Thank you!
Nice job! A nice pipe would make a big difference. Thanks for sharing.
Very cool build & runs great
Instant start at 0:23, kind of funny!
Impressive to say the least. Excellent job thanks for .
I've wanted to do a 30cc build forever!!
Very very nice this is the best weed eater RC car made
Thanks! Still running strong 3yrs later!
needs some roll bars lol. that's pretty cool !!!
Every drilled hole is drilled a certain size. When you pick up a drill bit, you have determined that certain size whether you intended to or not. LMFAO.
Pretty neat. Seems like it needs stiffer shocks to deal with the body roll
Bad To The Bone!!!!!! A++ for professionalism this has me thinking of ideas.
That so cool!❤Love it
That's my kind of build right there...might not be the prettiest but it's effective. 👍
nice build
Excellent innovation
GREAT JOB ON THIS, VERY GOOD INNOVATION ON YOUR PART....KUDDOS... ;-)
Very cool great job
Wow that is awesome! Liked and subscribed.
jdpasl Thank you!
Wow, that is really amazing! If you showed that to Botajell, he’d be like wtf this is cool as shit bruh you know what I’m sayin
I think you should probably adjust the idle screw. That thing idles really low. That's a really cool little project there and I'm making one similar. Great job!
Thank you for the advice! I'm going to clean it and tune it up soon!
Very cool!
Awesome!
Nice job !
Crazy Kup Thank you!
Good work! I'm making one with a 49cc minimoto engine, you would like to see!
Cool video
Amazing 🔥
This is badass
Late but LOVE YOUR BUILD
Hey Parker - great video! You have a "radio" voice - plus, you're a genius! I love the shots you did low to the ground. Makes it look like the real thing. One thing: how do you control the car? Just curious! PS - I'm Deb's sister. She shared with me. Janet
janbrad1 Thanks so much! The car uses a radio-reciever setup. Simply a remote sends signals to the receiver which gives power from a small battery to servos, small motors that push or pull on my input. The throttle is pulled by cable connected to one of these. Hope this answered your question and thanks for commenting!
He is beginning work on a plane. It just blows my mind. You should subscribe to his page so you will be notified when he releases his videos.
🤣🤣🤣🤦♂️
Very cool! How do you manage to keep the car still with the engine idling? Are you using something like a centrifugal clutch? Thanks! I'm looking at doing something similar for my channel
Yep! It's just the centrifugal clutch that comes on most string trimmers.
How did you drill holes with no power tools. Awesome built thou
Love it.
AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!!
I’m pretty sure some power tools were used somewhere. Gear on the weed eater. Good video
Cheap electric drill, that's it
Super cool, i sub now !!
verynice, i am wanting to use a 3d printer to build one
How do you mount the drive shaft on the engine?
I realize this is an older video , and you might not see this . I would message you , but I don't know how . I was wondering if you could explain in more detail how you connected the motor to the transmission, and what kind of transmission it is . Usually the shaft coming off the clutch has a square hole on weed eaters . I'm trying to build something similar, and I want good gearing and the look you have here . Great video btw I love the truck . Any info would be greatly appreciated thanks .
It is very interesting how it is connected, actually. I mounted the weed eater first, then built the drive shaft. The chassis is all stock Traxxas Emaxx and the transfer case and gearbox are as well. I simply took the bearing and front face off of an electric motor and mounted it where the pinion gear would go, so a shaft could go through just as the original motor did. It also fit where the motor mounting holes are so it is adjustable for different gears. Then I used an Integy Traxxas Rustler drive shaft that had the perfect diameter to go through and ride on the bearing. I ground a groove on the end where the wheel hub would go and mounted a Mod1 Pinion that fits a 2200kv motor. The universal joint on it allowed the weed eater to be at any angle. The other end of the drive shaft had a small hex- I found the socket from a tool set that fit it. This allowed the other end to be a square outlet for an extension. I just kept connecting sockets until I could get a phillips screwdriver bit on the other end. Believe it or not, some phillips bits fit perfectly into that square on the output of a weedeater. Once I got it the right length, I found a pipe that fit over the sockets to keep them uniform and straight as it spun. If I had advice for someone doing what I did, I would mount the weed eater last. I just happened to get really lucky because the angle was perfect. As for the gear ratio, a weed eater can run 1:1 and have plenty of torque and still go about 35-40mph, and this truck weighs at least 20 pounds! If you have questions, please ask and I will be happy to answer them. Also, I can email you pictures if you give me your email. Thank you.
Thanks for getting back to me I appreciates it a lot . . I know most of the ones I've seen are square inside . That was my main question , how you did the drive shaft . Ground a grove ? does the pinion gear have a key way or set screw . How does it attach ? www.rc-monster.com/proddetail.php?prod=5mm_bore%2C_mod1_pinion ....this link is of a pinion it has a set screw . Something like this ? I know the gears all have to be the same pitch . I will give you my email if you have detailed pics that would be great . Sorry for all the questions I'm mechanically inclined , but this is my first time dealing with rc scale setups . A lot of people in the rc forums said the nitro trans wouldn't hold up to a weed eater . It looks like it will work just fine though and have the right balance of speed and low end torque . t.long.est.1986@gmail.com. thanks for all your help you're awesome dude . Send whatever pics you have .
Yes it is a pinion with a set screw. It is a large 34 tooth module 1 gear. The shaft it is mounted on was round until I ground a groove so the set screw would grab. Since it was a wheel hub, however, I still put a nut on the end of it to hold the gear on and not entirely depend on the set screw. It worked fine without the nut though. I sent you some pictures in your email. Thank you - I am more than happy to answer any questions for you.
Thanks man , you've been a big help . I see what I need now to make it work . 👍
@@makeshiftworks9779 hello this is Dayton jackson iam inspired by your design but was curious also how u made the shaft from the engine to the drive gear buy using sockets could you please send me a picture and I will send u a pic of my creation. Thank u dayton2108420@gmail.com
Bad Ass.. wow
Hey dude, this is great, I'm great with engines but... what would I need to run a remote to the engine how would that work and would there be a specific remote and what not that I would need to use?
Hey, I'm really sorry for not getting back with you sooner! You should ideally use a RC car/truck trigger remote with a receiver box run off a small battery and plugged into your servos. You need at least a two channel remote. To name a few nice ones, I'd go with a Spectrum DX2e or a FlySky FS-GT2. Those come with receiver boxes. For a basic unit, the Traxxas TQ will work just fine. I'm specifically using a FlySky FS-GT3b. As for what not to use, I wouldn't recommend using a joystick aircraft remote, but it will still work. Hope this helps!
@@makeshiftworks9779 thanks man! I'll look into it. I appreciate the help and reply.
Where did you get a 1/5 roller for that cheap?
Is there any other frames that might work the emaxx is hard to find where I live
Nice Red Car. Ho much hp?.
25cc engine about 0.7hp
Do you have any breaks?
How much did the car end up costing you I’m trying to build one and I have an engine already
Cost varies depending on what you have. Assuming you have a complete roller to use, cost can be free if you use what you have. I used junk I found in the garage. Only money I spent is $100 on the body.
@@makeshiftworks9779 a complete roller?
Where did you the gearbox from
Where did you get the motor?
Can you tell me what gearbox this is? I'm currently building a car
Can you give me a list of stuff you used because I want to make one
What's its top speed?
