Hi, guy who works with 3D printers for a living here. The reason that shifter broke was because the layers were printed in the wrong orientation, you could make it work by just printing it vertically. That's all, good luck Mike! ❤️💪
Also some other suggestions from someone who also 3D prints for motorsport applications. Looks like you have 2 walls, I would bump that up to at least 4. I would do much higher infill in the area it broke as well as change the filament to CF-ABS or CF-PETG
You printed that shifter mount in the wrong orientation. Layer lines are the weakest sheer points..... you want continuous material in the directions of force. Rotate that 90 degrees and print the long part vertically with supports. Or, print a negative and do a forged carbon mold. Love your work guys.
The 20B itself seems to be the toughest part of the build so far, too much power for the dyno, too much heat for the exhaust manifold and the turbo, too much for the throttle bodies, too much for the engine mounts and the cross member, that 20B just dominates everything!
love your vids mike, i remember when i was younger, i met you at FOS.... best day of my life :) Also, in my opinion my favourite car is the MADBUL rx-7. i mean its just BEAUTIFUL
These guys are an actual racing team with engineers. Its a lot easier to build a car like this when you have the resources on hand. DDE is basically just Mike Essa and Tim helping.
Bro what a dumb comparing DDE to Mad Mike they’re different, DDE is a car youtuber meanwhile Mad Mike was a pro drifter with an actual racing team & had a lot more resources
Its funny that the shifter broke off with the moza unit still in tact not sponsored can't wait to see this working perfectly though absolutely insane build and I love it plus I doubt anyone else will ever say they have a rotary McClaren
Thats because it's not a McLaren anymore lol. It's only McLaren-shaped at this point, basically a 99% custom fabbed 3-rotor RX7 with a P1 roof, windshield, and bodykit. And it's one of the RADDEST F***ING builds I've ever seen.
You will make it through the sleepless nights and get there Bro as you have an amazing network of people around you. I myself, would have died from a heart attack brought on by stress & anxiety 😂 You have created an absolute monster
When one of the best drifters in the world has fun trying to keep up with the car you know you're going in the right direction. Such a beast. Keeping my fingers crossed for you.
That livery looks freaking sick! So menacing on that style of car! Also, props to the editor of these videos, soneone really knows what theyre doing 👏🏻
Love this project. My first car was a 95 Celica. My pops got it wrecked when I was 12 and fixed it (he’s a body guy). Was painted night hawk black and was so clean. Always thought about AWD swapping it in my 16 year old brain lol cool to see you doing it.
Hey Mad Mike what an awesome challenge!! Hey I remember Larry Perkins made a slide plate intake as opposed to throttle bodies in his early Commodores his Son Jack recently restored the 93 Bathurst winning Car to which he showed on YT the intake set up indepth ... might be something your guru Alex could look into ???
Honestly, your team and you are an absolutely amazing combination. I can't wait for it to he dialed. Please, once everything is done, do a collab with DDE. Drifter Mike Essa is now part of the team and their 720s (DDE 720 GTR) next to this will be jaw dropping.
I remember watching the rx7 on the mountain video in high school and becoming an instant fan when I found out about the rotory engine when I was 15 mad mike was always the inspiration
Una obra de arte habéis creado, pedazo de equipo que tienes Mad, es normal que con todo lo que le habéis hecho a ese McLaren de problemas pero con la gente que te rodea te lo solucionan todo, increíble el sonido del coche, es una melodía
You can do it wicked man getting closer to reveal day sacrifices and will power is the key it'll all pay off in the end keep up the good work great footage love it can't wait

That’s what I’m thinking.
@@karter61expensive, but very strong.
@@karter61 Or simply weld a thick steel plate and call it a day haha
@@matthewantos4776 we should so start a small printer company

Its pretty hard to comprehend at that level they make so crappy parts for a top level vehicle. Thats not the first, I would think they know better..
@@kukuleleit’s not that deep how insecure are you
@@kukulelehow's your p1 drift car coming along?
@@kukuleleyou also do realise he jokingly took the handbrake off his sim rig
@@nathanthomson777 I didnt know but wow
Can we just appreciate how much of a G Mike is. Please don’t ever stop innovating and building these maddd cars. The og does it again💪🏽
Mike never stops dreaming. Next mission will be putting a rotary in a f1 car and making it drift 😅
@@Ixxlostinabox You just gave him his next idea
I’m a simple man.
I get notified that Mad Mike has a new video, I watch it and then I smash that like button.
"Only Red Bull athlete to be able to create his own livery" because you absolutely create insane ones mate!
It's nice to see you guys show the true realities of a whole lot of custom stuff coming together and not always working first go like so many portray.
100%, this is proper stuff getting to see all the nuances that occur with new builds 🙌
Best car build content on the internet right now! THANKS Mad Mike!!!
The 20B itself seems to be the toughest part of the build so far, too much power for the dyno, too much heat for the exhaust manifold and the turbo, too much for the throttle bodies, too much for the engine mounts and the cross member, that 20B just dominates everything!
ITS ALIVE!!!!!!
Edit: By The Way, when can i see 787D on track?? I mean i kinda want to see you ripping it Mike.
Not far away 👌🏽
Wow the drama ❤
Car looks epic in all aspects.
Congratulations
People like this make life exciting. Thanks guys.
Just discovered you, man this is just the mental type of content I didn't know I needed to watch, keep it up
What a project !!!! Incredibul !!!
Best episode ever! I was gripped to the last second and beyond.
Absolutely insane. Nice work Mike and team!
love your vids mike, i remember when i was younger, i met you at FOS.... best day of my life :)
Also, in my opinion my favourite car is the MADBUL rx-7. i mean its just BEAUTIFUL
lol mike copying al pose under the car was fffffrickin hilarious lol
This same project would take DDE fourteen years to complete 😂 nice to see a channel who actually follows through with their builds
Mega builds are not easy mate. Takes a village for sure😊
These guys are an actual racing team with engineers. Its a lot easier to build a car like this when you have the resources on hand. DDE is basically just Mike Essa and Tim helping.
Bro what a dumb comparing DDE to Mad Mike they’re different, DDE is a car youtuber meanwhile Mad Mike was a pro drifter with an actual racing team & had a lot more resources
@@XX-2000XX Michael Essa is an accomplished professional drifter and driver, too ;)
Buddy compared a 4 man team to a entire drift team and more I’m dead 😂
What a surreal build to see man.. It really feels like something out of a racing game. I can't imagine seeing this thing ripping irl
Its funny that the shifter broke off with the moza unit still in tact not sponsored can't wait to see this working perfectly though absolutely insane build and I love it plus I doubt anyone else will ever say they have a rotary McClaren
Rotor heaven..
What a time to be alive!! 🇳🇿
Stay strong brahda...if there’s any team on the planet that can make it happen it’s YOU GUY’S🤘🏽
Sending good energy,luv&respect from Hawaii🤙🏽
Farout, this isn't a mission. This is Top Secret Mission level issues, but I know you'll get it done loving this build every step of the way awesome
🤘🏽
Incredible stuff Mike + team, hope the repairs are going well!
Jesus Christ that thing is a RIPPER!!!!! What an all out MAX effort from the team! Kudos to all who are busting their asses getting this done!
Absolutely insane build Mike, Al and your team work magic, cant wait to see this thing on the Goodwood Friday! safe travels until then Bro
Omg this thing is so sick boys such amazing work and gotten it done way quick... best of luck brother and keep on shredding...
That is the sexiest and best sounding McLaren I have ever seen. You guys have to be proud of your creation.

wait till bro put a rotary in a Koenigsegg. 🤣🤣
It’s over 😭😭
Without a CVT! groundbreaking technology over the current version. Seriously.
Hopefully, next year 😂😂😂
Intense guys! Goodluck with the issues Mike!
You will make it through the sleepless nights and get there Bro as you have an amazing network of people around you. I myself, would have died from a heart attack brought on by stress & anxiety 😂 You have created an absolute monster
IncrediBULL haha, what a build. Congrats to the team for all the hard work. Cant wait to see thing ripping more.
Damn what a mission. Wishing you all the luck in the world man. It'll all happen no doubt
You guys are truly making this epic. I can only imagine being part of a project like this!!! Love the sound and the the way it’s looking.
I really respect how Mike gives credit to everyone on the way through!
When one of the best drifters in the world has fun trying to keep up with the car you know you're going in the right direction. Such a beast. Keeping my fingers crossed for you.
Chaaa Can't wait to see you on Goodwood 😮

Problem with slide plate manifolds is they lock up/bond with to much vacuum or boost applied to it.
@theovanbooma8508 aw right yeah would too I guess
Keep the spirits up, bro. You guys got this 💪
if anybody can make it work its you and your amazing team Mike, show the world how its done. just like Bruce mclaren did
Passion and Money. A deadly combonation to have a lot of fun in life. This crazy guy gets it haha
My favourite bit, "There Goes Mad Bull" into a full 360 spin. Love the great content bud, way to fricken go!🤘⚡
