    CASTLE, OMG! I had a 7700KV Mamba Brushless motor and ESC from Castle Creations in my 1/10 scale on road like, 10 years ago. It was... ridiculous. Following with GREAT interest.

    • @MakersMuse
      @MakersMuse 5 ปีที่แล้ว +4

      There hasn't been another open class feather weight competition since but I will be fighting Vanguard again! I used Brushless motors for drive (for the first time ever) with 3D Printed gears in it, and they worked pretty darn good. SimonK firmware for the esc's.

    • @EricHallahan
      @EricHallahan 5 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Maker's Muse Sorry to hear of the fraud...hopefully you'll get through it. Question though: Why do almost no Additive Manufacturing Machines (3D printer is a misnomer) have closed loop control? It seems like for the high end machines (During the school year I have access to a UPrint SE) it would be pocket change to implement.

      @dannya3748 5 ปีที่แล้ว

      All my 1/10 and 1/8 scale motors are insane! I'm excited to see what happens with this. The torque amount will be insane. I wonder if they will use the castle link to slow down the torque ramp so they don't break parts.

    • @jonipaananen9304
      @jonipaananen9304 5 ปีที่แล้ว

      FYI, simonk is pretty oldschool nowadays. The drone racing industry has improved ESC's at an amazing pace, both firmware and hardware. You can get 20A esc's that are just about the size of two thumbnails =)
      And castle does great stuff. I suspect the monsters used in this video support logging etc, which makes it possible to connect to a computer and check the actual amps drawn. I have a castle esc on my RC heli, it has served me well for many years now!

    So yeah be VERY careful driving it. I put mine together about 2 weeks ago (normal size). The front and rear wings pretty much will shatter if you impact anything are any sort of reasonable speed. I ended up reprinting my wings in flex material so they wouldn’t break so easily. I printed my tires using 85A TPU and they work surprisingly well.
    Also, the rear axle can and will snap if you give it too much oomph or try to brake too quickly (again, learned the hard way). I reprinted that in PETG with 4 walls and more infill. I also had a front right axle snap on me.
    In short - have spare parts printed and handy. You WILL need them!!!

    • @jsseehorn
      @jsseehorn 5 ปีที่แล้ว

      If I remember correctly I think his rear axle is just a printed shell epoxied around a metal shaft but given that the flats driving the wheels are part of the printed item it still might have some issues especially if the printed part tries to wrap under acceleration and shears the glue bond. I'm interested to see if it will hold up or not though. Also, I think they could definitely make 3d printed tires work out of a softer material if they go in and change the design, however I think with him just scaling everything 4x that the resulting tire will be so much plastic because of the increased thickness that they won't have enough flex to provide any grip.

    • @oneeyemonster3262
      @oneeyemonster3262 5 ปีที่แล้ว

      it;s a POS...All the weight to the body for nothing....POWERWHEELS are R/C
      they just gear it so it dosnt go fast...they only have 550 brushed motors in them.FFS..You can run it on 18V to make it do 10mph..with a 50 lb kid in it...
      If you were into R/C..you can build a 1/4 F1..Keep it under 15lb.
      It would be dangerous....People make 1/8 go over 100 MPH.
      The body is niether here or there...it's just thin lexen ( stupid light)..They work
      out the drive train system first.
      You need to stop trying to make everything out PLASTIC...FFS
      it CAN'T handle the HEAT or TORQUE

    I bet for the tires you could paint flex seal or some kind of other rubber like paint on the outside to get you some traction. Probably not very durable, but I would think it would work.

    Looking good Joel. Maybe Teflon bushings instead of bearings? Glue a thin one on the OD of the shaft, and glue another thin one to the ID of the bore? Easily machinable to fit exactly, if needed. I'm sure some of your subscribers, or someone you know has that capability.

  • @antalz
    @antalz 5 ปีที่แล้ว

    I don't think you need to worry about the spur gears. I'm running a 30kg tank on two drivetrains, one per side. Each drivetrain has a 2 Nm motor, with a pinion that has 11 teeth, 2mm module, and 25 degree pressure angle, from PLA, 100% infill and 4 walls on 0.4mm nozzle. The gear is skipping teeth sometimes because the motor mounts are insufficiently stiff and the pinion and gear push each other away. Your motors are about 30 times more powerful than mine, but I'm quite sure that's because they spin over 50 times faster, not because they have more torque.

    @3dprintingnerd, 6810 bearings come close to ID and OD can be solved with a bushing. These are 50mm ID 65mm OD and 7mm wide. Allthough these are much slimmer they can easily take the radial load. RPM up to 9000 with oil.
    Alternative is the 6811, 55mm ID 72mm OD

    • @danieldimitri6133
      @danieldimitri6133 5 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Alex Dunda if it were mine I'd put a drone flight controller on it for a steering gyro. The frsky radio does some amazing things when paired with a flight controller. (like support Lua scripts, yeah it has an interpreter for a scripting language! Well as long as you select that when you update the firmware ) Unfortunately there are some features to that esc that work with 2 specific futaba radios, well maybe more including flight radios but Im no futaba expert. Too rich for my blood.
      In reality the receivers support either 8 or 16 channels but you can bind multiple receivers which is good for giant scale stuff so you can mount receivers and battery packs in the wings and not need to disconnect wires when you break it down. That way you don't get unfortunate disconnections and weird issues from loose wires in hard to reach places on long wires.
      Anyway a flight controller can address neopixels or similar programmable led strips and boards so you can have a friken dance party on that thing if you really want to

    • @alexdunda
      @alexdunda 5 ปีที่แล้ว

      Yea but there is a flashing red light on the rear of the car indicates that it is harvesting energy into it's ERS (Energy Recovery System). That means it could be potentially slower in the corners. This acts as a warning for the driver following the car.

  • @dannyb9083
    @dannyb9083 5 ปีที่แล้ว

    you should print the rim and use foam as the tire. Foam tires are commonly used in onroad rc racing and speed runs. they provide great traction and tend to not blow off the rim at high speeds.

    You could try using a 3D printed gear bearing, just to keep the car in printed parts. It probably should contain a lot of smaller rollers in it, since the outer and inner rings makes the bearing so slim.

  • @silverbullet126
    @silverbullet126 5 ปีที่แล้ว

    I see a couple things that might be an issue: batteries won't be able to pull enough amps for each speed control. Since the XLX only supports 8S, I think performance LIPO batteries are probably a better choice than recycled low current 18650s. That Hitec servo needs to be run on its own, it can't be run off the XLX internal BEC (so maybe a Castle BEC Pro V2 with it's own 7.2v pack is probably best).
    Lastly, I think the OpenTX remote at least to start isn't probably the right choice, it'll make driving the car harder than it would be normally. I'd say a Futaba 4 channel surface/pistal style remote is a better choice.
    Otherwise I think you guys are on the right track :)

    After watching all of your videos in finally ordered my 3d printer. I will have to assemble it first and I'm so tempted to just print something big first. What would you recommend I print first to calibrate my settings?

    This remote is huge, but unlike most RC remotes looks quite nice :)

      Well at least it's in proportion to the actual RC car :D

      The newwer but more affordable version is even more beautiful and comes in a few colors. The entry level model is also quite attractive if you get it with a carbon fiber looking wrap. With frsky you don't have to pay for features. Other than fewer switches and knobs and a low res monochrome screen the qx7 still has the same 32channels (assuming multiple receivers bound to the same model in memory) , telemetry, voice, and receiver compatibility. The horus models are more beautiful but frsky isn't elitist like say futaba where things work in specific ways and you have to pay for features. $110 gets you a geeks dream of a transmitter

      It's the FrSky Horus X12S, and the thing is EXPENSIVE. I don't care how well a remote looks as long as it costs 1/8th of that and has most of the same features OK?

    Those tires are "for testing purposes only". Ike would be proud.

    Oh, side note- the spec on the motors is 120amps and 25.2v ( max ratings )- a little bit of math later and that gives us a maximum of 3024 watts, or 4 Horse power- each. 8 HP total on a model weighing ~50lbs = ~360 Hp per ( metric ) ton. Not too shabby at all- my 1/8 scale trucks run at about 500Hp per ton, but they ofcourse are far lighter and use a single, smaller motor ( 1515 2200kv on 5s lipo ). This thing will be a beast- make sure you find a big, open area to test it...

    Idea for the wheels: Nylon rim (almost full wheel/tire diameter) that has a sheet of rubber (neoprene foam rubber for example) glued to it's running surface. This may sound weird but it is quite similar to the wheel construction of regular RC racing cars.
    I expect it to be difficult to get a tire that is flat on top in the same scale (size) that isn't really heavy. And considering the fact that most of the construction is 3D printed you really want to limit the amount of forces and stress put on the frame and mechanics.

  • @darkwinter6028

    Also, are you going to have independent drive to each rear wheel? (I.e, one motor drives the left, and one drives the right). If so, you might think about adding some encoders to the wheels (on all 4 wheels), and using an Arduino to set up a traction control system... (in a loop, if the sensed speed of a rear wheel is too much higher than the front wheel’s speed, reduce that wheel motor’s throttle signal). The RC receiver would connect to the Arduino, and the Arduino would filter the throttle signal before passing it along to the ESCs. If possible, you’d probably want to set the ESCs up for a high update rate (similar to the way that quadcopter ESCs are setup), and disable any filters built into the ESCs... 🤔

    Hey Joel! I have an off topic (in relation to the video) question for you. Do you think you could make a video about like, the care and maintenance you can do with/for 3D printers? I see a lot of videos on reviews and what not, but not a whole lot on like how to replace a belt when the belt isn't pre-joined or what not. Figure it could be a cool little "miniseries" about taking care of your printers :D

    You need a FPV cam with Pan/Tilt and a head mounted display with headtracker. :P

    @collin5353 5 ปีที่แล้ว

    Seems like Joel's buddy flies fpv (judging that he chose an fr sky radio system, not a typical rc car system from like spectrum or something), so he should definitely put a tiny whoop cam on top and hook Joel up with some Fatsharks!
