- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 15 ต.ค. 2024
- Bringing back the gasser! I am planning on making some changes to the frame but I needed to have it together to see what I need to do. The RC4wd V8 gets assembled and some mods added and mocked up with the chassis.
Check out my Amazon influencer store page for some of these products;

The back wheels look good dude great build awesome looking rat rod or gasser💯👍👌👌✌😎
Man I love this thing so much. On Amazon you can buy Stick on tinting. It is pretty cheap. You can even get reflective colors.
Looking sweet, I’m just back watching some of the older videos, and some of them I’ve missed. Catch you on the next one
if you bend the front links at the axle end it will rotate the beam axle round its centre line so you can get the correct geometry, always interesting watching your builds
@@Johnny_Guitar won't need much of a bend, anneal them with heat first and should be fine, i have done it before no problems but is just a suggestion
That is excellent dude. What a great job you did
Great video, really glad to see you doing something with the scale engine. Can't wait to see the finished product.
GASSER!! I've been wondering.
I have a scratch build Gasser project on my kitchen table
Have never built a crawler but bought a couple of frame rail sets, some cross members a beam axle for a 1/14th truck and leaf spring sets and a narrow crawler rearend with beeftube inserts. My chassis solution was to turn the chassis backwards. Using 4mm thick composite frame rails they were inexpensive and very strong.
Straight end of chassis has the spring paks and straight axle. The arched end of the chassis a four link setup with the narrow crawler axle. Will likely end up with steering servo on left side frame rail with a link going to right side idler arm to clear leaf springs. Shocks, motor, gearbox driveshaft all pending. axles frame mocked up and screwed together knowing it will likely have to come apart again. This is hard, but not impossible.
Thanks for posting this! It was a reminder that I have a free evening- BUILD!!!
Your front tire/rim combo?
Another little problem is 1/10th looking front rims and tires. Something that looks roughly vintage and will fit the front axle stubbs with bearings. I like what you got on the front.
To rectify your steering geometry you need to tilt your axle back ( increase the caster angle). believe me I went through this with a full size T Bucket I had.
This is such a badass gasser, my favorite build so far, love seeing them at the track. Cool engine/motor combo.
Awesome! I recently finished a hand made hotrod build... I did everything by hand in all aluminum... chasis, steering and all... i did however use and convert/customize a full alu independent suspension kit for a tt01 from yeah racing...
The body I made from scratch out of styrene sheets... my first time working with styrene... awesome experience, definetly not my last build.
Thanx for loads of inspiration... Next time I will definetly have to setup a camera on my workbench to make some timelapse build videos like you do! :)
Looks great man! It’s off to a good start! I’m sure you’ll dial it in!
I like all the cars you have built but I'm a sucker for a 5 window coupe, even more so when it's a gasser. 👍
What original things you do ... I would spend hours watching how you work! ...A hug and congratulations!
🖐😏👍
If you looking for colored window plastic. Try using transparent colored folder or binders. There cheap and can get them from walmart. Easy to cut and bent. I have used it to make guards on my redcat volcano between the body and frame.
Wow 🤩 🤩 this is AMAZING
That thing is SICK dude!!!
Good to see the Gasser again.
Amazing rat rod looks killer sure it needs some tweaking but it’s definitely awesome
Definite next level rc! Good work ! Inspirational!🤓✌️🇺🇲
The 5 window is a beast!!
Go to any guitar or drum shop, they should sell colored lexan for the lighting systems used for gigs at bars & concerts. I ran lights for a band and got mine at a drum shop who carried all that stuff.
Maybe some shock hoops to drop front just a hair and give it the gasser look with a touch of rake to it? You by far are more of an expert than me in this field but I feel it need a little nose down to complete the look. I am sure I just added eleventeen new complications to the build, honestly trying to help! Love the videos and your creativity... I really want to put some effort into making my own custom builds... I just have to get over the anxiety of chopping up existing stuff to make new stuff!
Lol. I am aware of all the stance issues. That’s why I’m going to make a new chassis. Just trying to work out what all it’s going to take to get the front end geometry better. The major setback is always the limitations of available rc components. The front has to come down to correct the angles but the rear can’t go much lower without cutting into the body more😬 may have to change the tire size. Lol. That’s the fun in these builds though. Working through all the obstacles.
Very cool !!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
awesome build
but just to let you know thats not a gasser, its a altered
gas classes required full fenders on all cars.
cant wait to see more!
👌🤯👉❤holy molly! I can't wait to see the final product!! That's gonna be one gorgeous gasser!!👌🥰👍
Thing is going to be dope dude, looking good.
Bellcrank steering maybe to hide the servo?
I'm just wondering why he would put a brushed system in a rat rod lol
nice build enjoyed it
you can get translucent OHP film/acetate in various colours
I have too many started projects like that love the way it’s starting to take shape
Still looks pretty cool I mean it is pretty cool and thanks again for the video 🤘😎🍻
Cool build
Beautiful project brother!!
I sometimes forget I'm looking at RC cars 🤯
Looks awsome buddy
No nose, orange glass to match the engine and a set of wheelie bars and leave it as a static?
Lose the front shocks and replace with an inverted leaf spring that will sort the camber and bump steer and be more scale. Windows need to match the engine, and the tunnel ram would look good on this.
right ?! ...transverse, even...
oh, wait - i see what you wrote - duh, lol :)
I build for realz race cars. Your front axle isn't at the right pitch so when it steers it pulls tow in. And when the car takes off it will do a phenomenon known as bump steer where the car will want to turn instead of go straight when load is taken off the front. But the axle should be flat and level with the steering rod.
Very good progress
I've been waiting since oct to get a motor mounting plate for that transmission, and the scale V8 won't look right under the hood of a Mack truck. For the window tinting, check Hobby Lobby they have colored film over with the models and model paints. Its like a decal kind of paper just cut peal and stick.
Amazing amazing
good video 👏🏼♥️
Greetings from Peru🇵🇪🤙🏻🤘🏻🕹️
Awesome as usual
Nice engine
Ya the front suspension definitely needs to be redone. Needs leaf springs and it's too far forward. The angle of the front axle is giving it way too much negative caster. Whicked cool build a gasser style fuel tank up front might be the perfect place to hide a steering servo if you can make it work or hide it in the body and run lineage from there.
Sweet i luv it bro! Definitely a nice build
That is awesome brother
YOU CAN LOOK FOR HALOGRAPHIC NAIL FOIL TO GET TRANSPARENT COLOR WINDOWS.
Sweet ride, great video!!!
Use sharpies marker on the window it works great
If you use longer screws through the front axle can the be bent to straighten out the caster angle?
Yo man this is sick 🤘✌️
I don't know if you have stores called Michaels down there in the States but translucent cellophane would work.
Отличная работа👍 Обожаю хот-роды🔥
Cool cool cool.😎👍👍👍😎
Awesome
Looking good man. Sound kit?
love it
Rite On☘️
AWESOMENESS !!!!
Hey brother, I'm looking to get into scaling. You got recommendations to where to buy all the parts to build a rat rod? I would really appreciate the info thank you. New subscriber.
Unfortunately it doesn’t all come from one place. The rear axle and things like this v8 engine are from Rc4wd.com. The front axle is from a tamiya 1/14 scale semi truck like the king hauler. Suspension stuff is just 4 link rods from Rc4wd rigs like the gelande 2. Chassis are hand made. Bodies are 3d printed.
Well okay brother, I guess I better start learning how to fabricate s*** then.. thank you I appreciate the info.
I that the tamiya semi front axle and if so what wheels are you using.....
They are some old 2wd traxxas buggy front wheels i think.
All that work and u put a brushed motor in it? Not hating cause u did a great job but seems like your back tracking with that slow and under powered system
Epic
Where can I get a body like this or similar to this even in lexan would be good I’m in the process of building me a gasser also
This one is 3d printed. My guy that had all these bodies quit the business unfortunately. There is a version of this on shapeways but it’s over $200 last I saw. I think proline racing has some vintage style lexan bodies now. Or if you can find the 90’s Parma hemi coupe body.
@RC Everyday where did you get the exhaust from josh
I worked with Rc4wd to design them. They sell them in their shapeways store now.
Mint👌
YES IVE BEEN WAITING FOR SO LONG LETSSS GOOOOOOO
Where do I get a body like that? Will it fit and axial scx10.2?
It could be made to fit a crawler but it’s smaller and would take some work rearranging the chassis to hide everything. These are 3d printed and unfortunately my friend that did them for me quit. The files are out there just have to find someone to print it for you.
lower! and don't give up!!
Where did you get that 32 5 window coupe body at and what scale is it?
It’s 3d printed. I use to have a guy that sold them but he has since quit. There is a less chopped version on shapeways sold by the original designer.
Fantastic video but so loud music ( showing my age ) really enjoy the no kit builds
Would you sell any of your R/C MASTER PIECES....????
No buddy. I have too much time into them to let them go.
@@RCeveryday I don't blame you one bit.... I just gotta say that you have a talent that most young folks don't have.... keep up the great work and videos....!!!!
I truly enjoy your master pieces...!!!!
Could you make a video of all of your builds lined up and then driving them around your shop...????
When I was young my father bought me 12 model cars from a hobby shop that went out of business...
I would use parts from each kit to build 6 awesome cars and trucks...
Sadly one day we had a birthday party for my brother and his friends destroyed my builds ...!!!!
Where can I het the engine
Rc4wd.com makes the engine and tons of accessories for it
Where can i get headers need some bad
Rc4wd has a shapeways store. They are 3dprinted
I will check them out I appreciate that
The only thing that sucks about this build. Is that junky old chevrolet engine. I love your work bro. You have hands down the best shop and the coolest builds and the best testing ideas on the internet maybe even the whole World. But I have this thing with the SBC engine. Especially at car shows. When I see a cool old Ford coupe a Nash a Rambler a Willis and any other bad ass looking rig with that cheap welfare SBC it makes my blood boil. Those dudes put tens of thousands of dollars in interior and body work paint and other things that make their project unique. And then they throw the cheapest off the shelf crate engine available and a chrome dress up kit in something that was really skookum. And fuck it all up. GOD bless
Green plastic sprite or squirt 2liter bottle
Dónde has comprado esa carroceria de golf IV
Get some colored tint
Very stupid question you ever build stuff like this for people like if they were to pay you to build it
Not currently. Just not enough time between work and TH-cam unfortunately. If I ever try to go full time TH-cam I might start.
I think if you did do that you'd make a really big killing because some of the stuff you make is freaking awesome
Use a plastic coke bottle for colored lexan.
I looked up at my bottle of Mountain Dew as I read your comment. Great idea my friend!
Sry mate but its no good in my books, never ever seen a car with steering arms faced fwd??.
Stop with the fake stuff and use a real engine
