Thank you guys for all of your support! I hope you enjoy the 100% FREE set of instructions I put together to build your own: hackaday.io/project/191240-flying-rc-drift-car
Tremendous amount of respect for releasing everything open source. For all the time and effort, blood, sweat, and tears( literally) you put into this and not trying to directly capitalize financially on this is amazing. I wouldnt be surprised if someone doesn't make a few minor adjustments, claim it as their own, and take it to market. You've got something special here. Thanks for sharing it with the world
This is great, loved your video. Saw this concept a few years back in the RC world when Kyosho released the Drone Racer but they didn't do a good job of marketing it and it never became popular. What I like about your version is the fact that the components are readily available and you can upgrade/update and add your own improvements to it as new stuff comes out. Great job man, keep up the good work.
I hadn't seen the Kyosho before--adding more to your point of marketing lol. Thanks for the comment! I would love to see others build upgraded versions with their favorite components
I'm surprised by the carry weight it can hold. Looks really fun to fly, I kinda want one. It's amazing that you put all the files and code online so anyone can keep the R&D. I can't express with words how much I like your videos, keep em coming!!!
My Resin Printer has been fun, but in order to eliminate creative limitations, both a filament, and resin printer should be in the shop… Going to save for an FDM 3D Printer (been thinking about it - now I have the creative motivation I needed ;) Hopefully will be building my own version of this, during the 2024 season! Thanks for posting this, and say hi to Josh Bardwell & Blunty! They're the channel that showed me this project. Happy Flying!
Ten years ago, I pud an EDF on my quad and it worked but the quad was loosing 1m altitude when I activated the EDF and it was not going fast. I 'm happy to see your solution and I like it very much
Nicholas, thank you for bringing me such amazing content. I love that you are so encouraging to your viewers to get going on our own projects and try to beat your designs. When i think about GOATS, i think of Michael Jordan, Tom Brady, & Nicholas Rehm
This reminds me of an rc hovercraft I once had. It “drifted” in a very similar fashion and was a lot of fun to drive. One downside was that it really only functioned well on smooth surfaces like a basketball court or the kitchen floor. This drift plane would be much more resilient to different terrains. Very cool idea, I think I just might have to build one
Really eager to see where this type of drone goes. Been watching the ejowerks one since it came out. Glad more people are working on this and pushing it forward.
This looks so much fun to race against other people. Bigger laps than rc car, funnier and more flashy because of the drift, easyer to see and understand for spectators than quadcopter races, and i think the races could last longer than quadcopter's races
This is really cool! I could imagine RC and eventually full-sized racing leagues built around rhis type of aerial, "drift car." Pod racing, here we come!
@@NicholasRehm Any reason why we can't scale this to carry a human with current battery tech? Electric cars have the batteries and lidar sensors needed...I feel like this negates a whole bunch of issues cars have now like rubber tires, weather making crashes etc. But yea, I want to race these in a league or something!! So my drone flys with a 23ms lag, would it be possible to fly one over the internet? How about a race of them?
Nicholas Rehm Man, that is the most bizzare R/C idea i've yet to see AND I LOVE IT! I discovered your channel thru R/C test flight. You guys come up with some mind-bending ideas , thanks for the Brilliant code addition. I was watching Multiwii in the early days and really freaked out our elderly neighbours flying a Tri-Copter with LEDS flying like a madman thru the entire neighborhood all those years ago. Greatwork, My mind has been blown now!
This is really great, it would really get people into the hobby. It will also only be a matter of time until a flight controller, height sensor, and software are available as a package. Then whatever cool frame to build or buy. It would be a little bigger than a 5 inch drone so you don't have to be a microsurgeon to build it. What a great concept!
I’ve been working on dRehmflight for the last several weeks. I’ve fried a Teensy, I thought I fried my ESC but evidently those things are pretty hardy. I also encountered a set of fan blades running at several thousand RPM, and they will indeed happily slice your fingers into shreds. I have no particular interest in RC hobbies, but have thoroughly enjoyed the engineering and appreciate the incredibly detailed documentation and work that you’ve put into this. My end goal is to develop a heavy-lift cinema drone and implement some of the dRehmflight functions and features into other motor and sensor control systems. Thanks for all the fun!
If this was ever a commercial product, I'd want a little knob on the remote that adjusts how much you want it to compensate for that drifting, rather than having a specific value hard-coded into it.
Outstanding! Mad respect. I also appreciate the extensive commenting and organization of the sketch. My favorite comment, though: "Teensy is fast enough to just take the compute penalty lol suck it arduino nano" 😂
Great work! Those irregular lines in your prints are caused by instability in the print bed. You can greatly improve print quality by PID tuning your print bed.

Now this is seriously cool ...
One Word: F-Zero
@@NicholasRehm kyosho already did this in 2016. Catch up.
Absolutely genius creativity and engineering!

"Gps is too heavy" *straps a brick cellphone to it*
Anything to explain away integrating another component in that cramped little fuselage lol
@@NicholasRehm why not use one of those tiny modules?
😂 iflight makes some pretty small gps that he can fit on the top too
nothing raw power won't fix
I recommend a skyfly performance analyzer. I use it on my drag car. Super lightweight and very accurate.
This is INSANE!! 🔥🔥🔥🔥 Thx so much for bringing us this.
This was really inspiring to watch, Nicholas! Would be stoked to see a fleet of these in a race or something. Keep up the hard work! :)
Thanks, that's the goal!!
Kyosho Drone Racer Zephyr Force is the best next Thing available
They already race them. It's called FPV drone racing
@@RichardGilmoreDronetech Drone Racing and this is completly different ya Genius
Or better yet, flying towards ruZZian trenches in Ukraine 💥
This is incredible....
No u

Really cool video, I especially liked how you thought about the mixed output in turns and showed the curves and the math.
Looks like fun! I'd be surprised if someone didn't make this as a new RC toy
Kyosho Drone Racer Zephyr Force Just Without fpv
I already want to figure out how to shrink it to something you could use in a building.
Dji avata my friend, dji avata
This looks ready for retail.
The most sensible build I've seen you do.
I'm not sure if you understand this, but you just invented the best RC "thing" that was ever made!!
This is brilliant!!!
Love watching the hobby growing with great ideas like this 👍
EPIC! Nice work, Nick!

I really appreciated your applied physics analysis and how you illustrated your solutions..Solid!
Thanks!!
This is my favorite quad copter configuration ever.
Fascinating!!!! The only really fun and viable solution of thrusted quad.
Cool project, seems like a blast to drive/fly
This is so cool it reminds me of the kyosho drone racer!! AWESOME WORK!!!
Now waterproof it and make it a drone, car, and submarine! Haha, but for real I love this idea! Makes me want to buy one
Waterproofing would be a fun side project--would give me the confidence to fly this thing over water haha
Maybe, the only channel where I like the Ads... 🤩

Thanks!
@@NicholasRehm Welcome 😀
You have to make it in to a landspeeder!!!!
This is so cool! I'm mostly into RC cars and trucks, but I would buy this for sure! I hope to see these on the market one day ! Nice work!

Glad you knew about Erik's stuff already!
this is an outstanding project, so much fun. good work on the code
Thanks so much!
Fantastic work.... and fair play for sharing it all open source too... keep up the great work!
Thanks a ton!
absolut perfect, this is insparation for all the Car/ Drone Pilots.......thumbs up👍👍💯
Thanks for the kind words!
Dude is a low-key genius. Love your channel! Keep it up!
Thanks for the kind words!
I could see this really going somewhere like becoming something like DRL in the future. Great job

So glad i found your channel. keep it up man!
Thanks!!
That is really cool! Looks fun too.
Thats freakin sweet! Butt propellers ftw
there you areeeeee
Sir, this is awesome!
This is sik! This has to be the next evolution of fpv/hover racer.
Cheers Nicholas! Everything you make and do is fascinating and very impressive. Just keep on doing it man!
Thanks a lot, will do😄
You just made my dream come true, I hope for a bnf version to be available soon
Have you considered a jump button for short but high obstacle, that the lidar cannot catch in time?
That'd be cool and easy to implement with another channel!
Holy crap, that is an awesome idea.. This would be like integrating Mariokart into it..
@@NicholasRehm I would absolutely love to see that!!
This will be a very commercially viable product soon! Good job!
Thanks!
Great project and video!

Perfect! Now build one the size of an atv! 😂 This is a super cool project, thanks for sharing it.
That would be sick
There is awesome and then there is this. Amazing work!
You are a genius, bro. Market these! RC lovers would definitely buy them. I want one so bad, lol.
This is just incredible. After printing a boat, I'm now working on a printed glider. After that I'm building this drone :')
my god i will build this so hard!
thank you for making the files open.
lol another bit of oldschool cool! lol. the pusher prop 5 motor drone, 3 ch control and lidar is definitely a game changing addition.
Incredible. Well done and congratulations.
Can't wait for the corresponding drone racing league
This is SO COOL!
Thats frickin awesome!
so awesome... love that project of yours.... good job :)
This thing looks so fun!

this needs to be sold comertinaly
excellent fun design!!!
That thing is awesome,I hope somebody picks up on this idea,I'd buy one 👍
Another banger! The man never misses 🔥
Come over some time and try it out my dude
@@NicholasRehm Will do!
Very cool! I'm a bit surprised it didn't go faster
To be honest, the pusher motor on the back is pretty wimpy. Might upgrade to something that can swing a 6x5" prop in the future
Wow amazing!! Thank you for sharing!!

Awesome! Remember to test, test, test until you fully understand how the system works. Keep those fingers safe
nice to see someone actually doing quality projects on YT. PS try big side panels. will act as forward stabilizers
Excellent upload well done, really inspiring 👍👍👍👍
That looks like fun. I will wait for the noiseless version though.
that's pretty cool. I wish more people would add trust motors to their drones. maybe a set of counter rotating ones.
Amazing ! Another great project sir
its a real life snow speeder...nice job!
At the beginning I was like what a dumb idea... But you made that video so interesting to watch and I am happy that I did not skip it. Thanks.
Thanks for sticking through it to see all the fun engineering
Super cool, I would love one of these. ❤
Thank You! From Frisco, TX
Cheers!
Love how it sounds like an F1 car passing by
Awesome invention. Thanks for sharing.
If this was ever a commercial product, I'd want a little knob on the remote that adjusts how much you want it to compensate for that drifting, rather than having a specific value hard-coded into it.
that changing functions for different throttle output? cool af
Super cool build
Outstanding! Mad respect. I also appreciate the extensive commenting and organization of the sketch. My favorite comment, though: "Teensy is fast enough to just take the compute penalty lol suck it arduino nano" 😂
LOL thanks, the goal of the project was to provide the most readable flight controller for newcomers, at the expense of "proper" code practices
Great work! Those irregular lines in your prints are caused by instability in the print bed. You can greatly improve print quality by PID tuning your print bed.
This almost looks like a scaled-down prototype for a hovercar. With some tweaks, I can imagine this is a viable design for one.
Impressive. And so cool! What a fun idea.
Thanks!!
Put some LED stripes on the back, build a cool course and race with a couple of your friends. I imagine this could help to make this idea take off?
Great job Nick! Reminds me of Captain Falcon's race car, the Blue Falcon
Hahaha I can see it too
Thank you!! This is so cool
Now this is podracing!
I love this! I need one. I would buy one right now.
YEEEYY! Real life F-Zero!
😎
This is cool!
A ducted motor in the back would be nice.
Truly AWESOME !
Excellent work 👍🏻👍🏻 I may not build this project, BUT your video has helped me with a project I am already working on. Thanks 🙌🏻
Awesome! What are you building?
Love this, when i was flying drone fpv i wanted something like this as drones are very complicated to fly.
너무 멋찐 영상입니다. ^^
