Testing a Dynamic Weight Transfer System for my RC Snowmobile

- This is my entry to Pascal Robert - Rc Creations's 2023-2024 rc snowmobile challenge. I have created a rider that can be independently controlled to lean when i turn. The rider's body is the snowmobiles battery which makes the overall center of gravity higher and thus it can tilt the sled sideways.
There is a video probably coming soon where i show how you can build this modification yourself and mount it to your own rc sled.
(edit) That video: • How I Built my Weight ...

Wow. You beat me to it. Nice work! This is the next genre of rc to come!
Very impressive and motivational!
It is actually going to be realistic! I bet it’s hard to master!
It’s kind of hard because it takes time to get used to controlling throttle with a stick
That really cool. Now for some sidehill action
This is great! It looks really cool too, seeing the rider lean is awesome.
This is an awesome concept! Great video! I have been thinking of making something similar for a while but never gotten around to actually doing it. I thought of just making a simple weight that shifts left and right but the driver being the weight like on a real snowobile looks great. 👍
This is super cool man. Great job with the design and build
This is really awesome and super impressive ! Good job! Love to see where this continues!
hell yeah! I was thinking about this for my RC sleds...and then boom, this came up on my youtube feed! hahahah awesome!
Files should be released shortly after January 31!
@@UppfinnarAXEL sweet! I posted your video in the facebook group and then my friend in the discord group said you posted it the other day! hahah so, I joined the discord group! Love all of this stuff!
Very cool idea, i was waiting to someone do exactly that. Awesome!!
Gran bel progetto...bel video... ciao dall'Italia
Nice! This is awesome! You may want to think about changing the title before the contest deadline to ensure that Pascal of RC Creations finds it. I'm not sure if you were the first to use the leaning rider with the servo in the upper half of the body of the rider but I am using that as part of the setup for what I'm planning on entering for the contest, if you were the first I hope you don't mind. I'm planning on a couple of other mods in addition to help with stability. Good luck in the contest!
I suppose you mean my old rider in my other videos. I actually downloaded that one from discord so it’s fine. Good luck you too!
Like the design alot looks like it works great 👍
Thanks 👍
Nice job man
Sweet! Reminded me of a tyco rc motorcycle that had a weighted dude that slide back n forth to turn the bike. Slide rolled back n forth on a upside down U part over the seat. Has me thinking you could add that or a up and down servo and really have dude getting after it lol
Thanks! Sounds like a great idea! I can’t find the bike when I search for it though.
Have you thought about mixing the steering servo with the rider servo for steering? In deep snow, to turn right for example, you'd actually want the skiis to turn left and rider weight to go right. Then adding a gyro could even keep the the sled from tipping over when thr angle goes too far by correcting the ride weight!?
Yes, I might do something similar next time
Pascal will appreciate your HOR Kyosho leaning rider.
What has Kyosho got to do with this?
I introduced Pascal to this also. Kyosho invented the leaning rider for the motorcycle decades ago. The feet and hands attach to the pegs and bars. My leaning rider HOR 10th scale moto is the smoothest (not fastest) and looks killer on the courts. You can go watch my videos if you want to see some cool RC F1 and Moto videos. @@UppfinnarAXEL
Yes! This is rad! The right direction!
I built a Pascal Polaris last year...so that means it wont snow in St. Lous for years. Fingers crossed this year we get enough snow to run it.
I have been thinking this ever since i picked up one of his kits; I would pay money for this!! Awesome work! Any way to tie it into steering channel instead of separate stick? Maybe using mixes in the radio?
Yes you can either mix in the radio or use a Y-cable for steering and leaning. I just wanted it separate so I can counter-steer in the deep snow. Files available soon!
A game controller might be easier to use. Like in the best game ever, MX vs ATV Reflex!
It’s a good idea because you also have triggers. I just don’t know how to convert a game controller to an rc radio.
Have you set up the rider lean servo to change directions in order to counter steer over a certain speed? Should be easy as heck on the TX16
No, I just do it manually. But that’s a good idea if it’s possible on a pistol grip controller
Do you have an alpha 6?? I bet you could get some different results using the og alpha 6 a arms since theyre scale and not wide at all might be able to carve better
Unfortunately no. I think you’re right, the skeeride a-arms are too wide. I tried to shorten them but it was hard because the shocks wouldn’t fit.
Hey from experience from playing with the geometry on my 2020 axys if you raised the height of the front end more you'll end up with a more controllable machine and it won't want to dig the front end into the snow quite so bad so you'll get stuck less its basically like looking at a proride chasis vs an axys chasis the other thing to mess about with that makes a difference is the attack angle of the front of the track the steeper it is the more it will want to trench and pick up the front end and also the track shocks too stiff in the front soft in the rear and your getting more skilift but stiffer in the rear will climb better without trenching as bad
Great information! 👍
What size battery do you got in that rider thats sick i wanna make my yamaha like that my skidoo and cat are too heavy id imagine
It has a 3s 2200mah lipo. I am going to release a how to build video and also the files at some point, but I’m not sure if I should do that before the contest ends January 31.
Even though my sled is quite heavy, this rider will tilt the sled easily so I think it would work on yours too.
Keep your secrets till after the contest yea it would be extra time and money to get shocks and mod the a arms to be shorter i think you will definitely do really well in the contest considering you had a moving rider a few years ago aswell@UppfinnarAXEL
Can you add a spinning gyro?
Anything is possible but I don’t think I want my sled to sound like a jet engine. Also it would draw unnecessary current even when it’s standing still.
I wonder when you get stuck if you hit it full throttle and make the rider shake side to side to get un stuck ?
Sometimes it can work if there is harder snow underneath, but many times it will remain stuck
Why not tie in the rider servo to the steering servo?
Because in a lot of situations you have to lean the opposite direction of steering
@@UppfinnarAXEL maybe a powder vs hardpack mode? Depp pow, rider goes opposite, and hardpack, rider goes with
@@TaylorAbrahamson16 it is possible and I can do it, but I have an idea with a pistol grip controller where you lean the whole controller the way you want the rider to lean.
Connect him to the steering and will auto shift
