How I Created a Solar Panel RC Tesla Cybertruck That Charges With Solar Energy

- In this video, I show how I took a typical remote controlled cybertruck and converted it to become solar panel charging capable!
*Disclaimer: This video is not to be used as a tutorial, lithium-ion batteries are dangerous to work with, and this video is 'primarily' for entertainment purposes.*
I used a TP4056 module, along with a 6V solar panel, a diode, and a switch to activate the solar charging.
I ran into a few problems and made a few mistakes, but I show how I navigated through them to come out with a solution that works!

Awesome video legend
Showing the trial and error process is refreshing compared to most youtube video showing only the end product, sometimes they don't even show a diagram.
Nicely done project and thanks for the time you take to shot and cut these videos! Buy a combo solder station/heat gun, your heat-shrinkable sleeve will love it!
Also, the announcment of a new CNC machine didn't fall on deaf ears...
Thank you, I'm glad my content was helpful!
What a mess! 😃
Despite the mess, the video is very nicely done, explanations are very good (something i lack), process is "normal" with all the ups and downs, and the result is worth a smile or two.
Keep chugging ...
Haha! I tried so hard to keep things organized, but with long alligator-clip wires, it's so challenging to adjust for the length of things that I couldn't keep them wrapped or curled up for long, and thanks!
Fun adventure with the RC car. Have you ever considered using 3D printing to take some of these projects to the next level with custom parts?
Yes, I love 3D printing! I'm just so busy lately with school and other house projects, that I don't have a lot of free time left for my hobbies to really get crafty. That will change soon though!
Sounds good! If you ever need a hand with a printing project let me know!@@techwithrita
Would this guide work on my Model 3? 😂
Great video!
Hah! RC car, probably! Wouldn't know how to warp the solar panel so it's curved... you'd have to find one that's flexible to bend over the roof of the car!
#1 fan , for life
I've been sorta meh about r/c cars until i saw lowrider ones that can actually jump and stuff, for some reaosn, that made it way more fun to me. Maybe messing with one of those would be fun too, but idk if you'd have nearly the room you do with this one
Far too beautiful
You hardly post on TH-cam? Any issues?
Hah no issues, just a full schedule! I graduate in May so I’ll have more time eventually, but I definitely will post more content before then. Sorry for the inconsistency! 😅
