Imo, Id shorten the clutch fork side and enlarge the servo side. Bigger amount of throw on the servo for a little fork movement. Is that what your thinking of?
I'm not entirely sure this is possible with the remote but if there is a way to define any code: a little low pass would help, or just an averaging filter. This would dampen the clutch response and make it more smooth. Would work as well or better on the receiver side.
@@Mefistofy we're talking about giving the servo more mechanical advantage against the clutch fork. it will shorten the travel of the clutch, lessen the load on the servo
Another amazing installment from you. I really enjoy watching your builds, no nonsense sales pitch to buy stuff, sign up today! Thank you for the update.
Cork & leather were both used as clutch material in older cars, too! My Hudson uses a cork clutch (admittedly it's in a bath of ATF, which might be way it survives) and lots of brass-era vehicles used leather-wrapped cones much like you made.
This car does not have a limiter as incorporating an effective one would be very expensive . If you run the engine without load slightly rich AFR ,it can still run away and float valves and break connecting rods from engine overspeed which has happened to other model cars of this kind . Johnny has destroyed an engine from overspeed , excessive RPM before .
Following the account for years now, I just LOVE how you're building the dream RC for all of us. Congratulations! Can't wait to hear this thing downshift and rev up!
I'm pretty sure cork clutches are actually a composite of cork and resin or cork and friction oil. Wet clutch stops the material being brittle or overheating and wearing too much.
This has got to be one of the coolest things ive ever seen. I never thought id see a manual RC car, a V8RC car, running coolant, radiator with thermostat, remote start, disk breaks, a real clutch, and just too much to name. This thing is off the charts bud. Freakin awesome. Well done
As an automotive student, This has becone one of my favorite channels that I subscribed to. Although its small scale Vehicles,the engines are quite realistic. I really really like your Videos and I can relate to what I learn in College to what I see in your Videos! Please continue doing content like this. I truly appreciate and enjoy watching them.
If you had a good transmitter, you could program a mix with the clutch channel and throttle channel. When throttle is at neutral and below, have the clutch servo disengage. The more throttle you give, the more the clutch engages. Would be a bit of a pain for initial setup but it should work.
@@robertmcfadyen9156 he made a manual clutch so he could control it manually, thats what i meant with my comment, also, why should he work with microprocessors instead??
Awesome as usual! A few points i see as weak. -The suspension spring perches are not well supported, they will bend. -The thermostat is located in an area of low coolant circulation, once the engine will be at operating temp, the fluid will stop to flow in the expansion tank, then it will cool down under your set point and the fans will stop, overheating the engine. - The transmission is nice, but will fail fast as it is not lubricated and cooled. -Your clutch is also exposed to intrusion of oil from the engine leaks, it will slip and burn. What you should do is a racing seat with 3 pedals, steering and shifter all linked to your remote/car. So you could actually drive it like a real car. That would be very nice. As always, i am very impressed by your designs and dedication. A work of art. Can't wait for new developments.
Watching any of your videos just makes me smile and simply amazed by all the innovations. Just imagine how many people you have inspired with your videos. Only thing is we all wish for more and their are over way to quick! Thanks for sharing your expert craftsmanship and knowledge!
1941 Hudson Pickups have what they call a Safety Clutch. They look like a torque converter. The cone is aluminum with 1" diameter cork disks running in a special lubricant similar weight to ATF.
Thanks Johnny for doing what you do, this channel is amazing, and your comments seem to be filled with helpful enthusiastic engineers and bewildered laymans like me !
Johnny some steel wool inside the exhaust box should cut down the oil but as it’s still a nitro model engine you’ll never be able to get rid of it completely as most nitro mix runs 18-20% caster or synthetic oils. Keep up the good work loving the builds
Cork works. Not too well... But it works. Until the first time it slips and glazes. The centrifugal clutches of my mini bikes from the 1970's,the bell was lined with cork. We were always replacing it. They're not meant for that. You gotta find a better clutch material. Graphite maybe?; I don't know.
14:00 Yow Johnny , i think it needs a little springy wheel suspension by 4% for 70%-100% max speed scenario, since you're driving it in concrete with tiny bumps. For durability 👍 P.S. i'm not a car mechanic nor engineer and all my knowledge i've learned is from video games. My personal quote on that is: "Always meet the middle, for safety purposes" 👍
Good job. I love . In my opinion it vibrates a lot and sounds like a loose screw. It is a magnificent assembly of pieces. 👍 and I respect the detailed work. Greetings JohnyQ90
Loving this build. I was surprised to see just how well that Zippo lighter fuel bottle turned into a muffler XD. I'm sure there will be less oil discharging once you tune the engine a bit leaner.
Probably best to be a wet clutch setup since it will take no time to blue your cone. Maybe retrofit a video game racing chair and fpv screen with the appropriate knobs and sensors placed throughout instead of using a hand controller.
Is there any way to tie the clutch mechanism to the same as the gas mechanism? It just seems like it would streamline the process of driving it and give you more control.
You can use the 3 speed manual Tamiya transmission. There are aftermarket helical brass gears available which also come with metal (aluminum, I believe) drive dogs. They are MUCH stronger than the standard plastic ones. I know from Tamiya 1/14 scale truck experience. Hope this helps. It sounds so sick doing launches!!!!!
It's like... you're not building a RC car, but a real car in small dimensions.
Thank you for sharing your magnificent works! 🥰
Just amazing to see Johnny building the car
Real spill
Awesomeness I truly want to thank you for building the scale car and transmission!
make the clutch servo arm shorter. for more precise clutch release and less load on the servo
Imo, Id shorten the clutch fork side and enlarge the servo side. Bigger amount of throw on the servo for a little fork movement. Is that what your thinking of?
@@Noah-qs3rq yes sir!
@@Noah-qs3rqits oposite

I know the clutch on my old Industrial sewing machine is cork. Admittately, the modern servo motors offer way better control. Lol
13:09 sounded a heck of a lot like a real full size V8 hitting the limiter trying to launch with wheel spin haha! Amazing.
This car does not have a limiter as incorporating an effective one would be very expensive . If you run the engine without load slightly rich AFR ,it can still run away and float valves and break connecting rods from engine overspeed which has happened to other model cars of this kind . Johnny has destroyed an engine from overspeed , excessive RPM before .
sounded like a blender
@@robertmcfadyen9156 I said like a real life V8 hitting the limiter, not a model engine hitting the limiter :)

My cork is just plain too short!
@@transmitterguy478 My cork keeps getting worn out from too much friction!

I love the way this project slowly unfolds. It just keeps getting better!
The thing is, that Johnny‘s videos always take so much time to make that I take my extra time to watch it in full length because I love them so much
the way how you film yourself doing these wonderful craftmanship jobs is simply amazing. You are the example I want to follow in my TH-cam adventure!

so it would work exactly like the automatic clutch he used in his previous builds..?
Probably not without a spring array like in a proper car clutch .
@@ofcefcipu The automatic clutch modulation wasn't very good or consistent though . Sadly these models are "BUILT TO A PRICE" .
Johnny should consider working for a microprocessor / electronic chipset design team instead .
@@robertmcfadyen9156 he made a manual clutch so he could control it manually, thats what i meant with my comment, also, why should he work with microprocessors instead??
This build is incredible, I am amazed at the skill and craftsmanship. Great work, just found this build. Really amazing
Always a treat to watch a upload from the mad machinist at work !!
Thx Johnny 👍👍😎

exceptional. The reference on YT, hands down.
Thanks for sharing your craft & love for rc cars . I enjoy watching you design, build & work on your dream.
Sounds like a nascar, beautifull, you better get a nascar shell 😉
Love this project man
Thanks Johnny for doing what you do, this channel is amazing, and your comments seem to be filled with helpful enthusiastic engineers and bewildered laymans like me !
It looked like you were getting a little smoke when you were spinning the tires. That thing is really awesome!
It is nice to have knowledge and all those tools looks great. Keep it up and good luck out there
Смотрел и не мог оторваться . это просто восхитительно
Awesome job brother! I really love this build 👍👍👍👍
State of the art of engineering. Almost as complicated as our own car minus the fuel injection. Bravo !
Johnny some steel wool inside the exhaust box should cut down the oil but as it’s still a nitro model engine you’ll never be able to get rid of it completely as most nitro mix runs 18-20% caster or synthetic oils.
Keep up the good work loving the builds
I'm not sure how this engine would handle it but you can always lean it out a little too ;)
The Project Binky of the RC world...simply fantastic!
Add an ignitor to that exhaust and shoot some flames lol
Q 90 ..usted es un Monstruo en este tema 👍...lo felicito*
Now you need a button (on the controller) that locks the front brakes (only), so you can do some sweet & smokey burnouts!
Always an educational experience. Thank you for sharing your passion for Miniature engines and R/C cars with us.
Been waiting YEARS to see this very drive test. Bravo.
lo mejor que se puede ver en youtube. felicidades.
Cnc machining is always so satisfying
please make a V6 scania truck
One of the radest build's I have seen for any R/C's I have come accross 🤟
So satisfying to watch. Chapeau Johnny!
Wow! I'm just so excited to see this thing working. And not to speak of the hard take off:s with some wheelspinn. 😁
Amazing work, love the little skid marks
Always good to see what your up to Johnny. Thanks so much for sharing
Nice! Seems like you're getting all the engineering kinks worked out. Keep going! I think it would be cool to see the v12 in a monster truck platform.
Absolutly stunning what you have done. I'm really excited to see your next video...
I love watching these videos. I’ve watched since the very beginning
Can't wait for new plumbing and gearbox, a full-send take off next !😊 adapt and innovate😊
Master Craftsman. Beautiful work.

Good job. I love . In my opinion it vibrates a lot and sounds like a loose screw. It is a magnificent assembly of pieces. 👍 and I respect the detailed work. Greetings JohnyQ90
This deserves millions of views
Bro that thing is freakin awesome, I think that you are a master craftsman. Keep up the awesome work and videos!!!
Actual tyre smoke is epic!!! Can't wait tonsee this tuned, it's going to be a beast!!
Wow It looks so good. Only few works left and we'll see it do a burnout maybe?
The little beast is looking and sounding quite mighty!
Your channel never disappoints!!!
You amaze me man. Every thing I’m interested in you give us thx man
很喜歡 10:39 音檔
有如猛獸般的的感覺
期待改裝排氣管
That exhaust is pure class🎉
Impressive af ! Big big BRAVO !
Always enjoy your builds
Your project is amazingly cool.
Loving this build. I was surprised to see just how well that Zippo lighter fuel bottle turned into a muffler XD. I'm sure there will be less oil discharging once you tune the engine a bit leaner.
you should turn this in fov car hook it up to a racing sim with monitor or vr so you can drive a mini car from your place
This has been so much fun to watch come together. Watch your shin been there done that.
This is dopest thing I've ever seen bro!
Yoooo I was watching all your videos last night and then I see you upload the project I’ve been most excited about let’s goooo 😂
amazing work as always johnny!!!
Awesome video. You are an artist.
Probably best to be a wet clutch setup since it will take no time to blue your cone. Maybe retrofit a video game racing chair and fpv screen with the appropriate knobs and sensors placed throughout instead of using a hand controller.
You have built a front mid-engine, V8, rear transaxle, RWD, high-end sports car. I love it!
Dude u have talent that’s impeccably awesome if u don’t do it for a living you should ur a beast thanks for sharing
This car sounds very nice at the back. The exhaust back box adds some bass to it
I wish you good luck for the further construction !
I'm sure you'll make it !
Greetings and best regards !
Imagine turbochargig that little engine
LANCIA D50 Formula One body on that chassis, it even sounds like one! Super R&D!
Man that's some good work, not easy to fabricate😊😊
Is there any way to tie the clutch mechanism to the same as the gas mechanism? It just seems like it would streamline the process of driving it and give you more control.
Nice !!! It runs fine transmission is a little bit weak at the moment !! Great job hope you get the result you deserve !! Keep up the good work !!
Never fail to amaze me 😆 love the build
Always with the banger videos, this man is amazing
If you had the same large machinery....you can build your own car.....amazing
Launched too many times and blew the clutch lol
Super cool project I love your vídeos great work 😮👍👌🔝
Very impressive, Cheers from N. California 👍🏽

Put a bigger fan with more blades on the radiator to make it more efficient 👌
Great work for now! We are excited to see more!
Incredible work. Wow
Awesome job mate well done.
