Love❤ from India🇮🇳.
How honest they are about the doors and not knowing how to do certain things makes me feel better about my build
I'm an rc guy and I love ghostbusters so this is great. The vxl has a brushless motor and beefier axles. So it would probably last longer with those big tires, but this also probably isn't going to get run regularly and hard so it won't be so much of an issue. Awesome build.
LOVE THIS!!!!!!! Well done! There are just not enough exclamation marks available on the internet.
Also here is the playlist for the RTV rebuild th-cam.com/video/SXDIegEz2zg/w-d-xo.html
Thank you for all the sharing you have done!
FYI the original could do 50mph! it was terrifying
Is it going to be used again for the sequel next year
😂 o shit
Saw the rebuild today. As much as I love a good rebuild I'm always partial to some destruction footage.
lol
Top notch build Sean! =D
If only there was someone who had done lights and smoke upgrade video for the ghost trap.
When I saw the RC Trap in the movie, I immediately thought about how to make one. Not surprised it finally showed up here, lol
Definitely would love to see a future version where more parts on it are functional and can use the more nerdy controller
my dream come true tested and RC all together. For not knowing anything RC related you seem to know more than some TH-cam RC reviewers. Great build and research!
Hat tip to the Buckaroo Banzai reference. That's a franchise that desperately needs a little love.
Charlesworth just doesn't fit on the tag well!
9:48 ask Adam to transform the adapters from thread to expanding thread. Then, you'll have what you want, where you reach into the hub with an allen wrench and screw the grub screw into the adapter, expanding it and thus capturing the wheel. Alternatively, you can find the strongest glue and glue them on.
You mention that you don't have a lot of experience with RC cars, and I understand that this is important as a disclaimer for people looking for that expertise. However... no one knows everything (at first, anyway 😀). Being able to go out and learn what you need to know to get the job done is possibly the most critical making skill of all. I commend you for sharing your process, including the parts where you didn't let lack of familiarity with a topic get in the way of your project. Well done.
When I saw the movie in the theaters I knew it was either a shortened Monster Truck, Horizon hobbies Granite or a E-Maxx, or a smaller stadium truck, Stampede or the Horizon version, with just larger tires.
This just confirms my suspension. Thank for this vid.
For the doors you need micro servos and a Y- harness, and possibly a programmable controller.
I like your typo.
Yeah was wondering what R/C base was used, will say the work to shorten the chassis seems a little much work over finding a already needed sized vehicle and just extending the axel length. Granted if traxxas had a contract for marketing etc then you have to stick to that brand. As for cosplay use being accurate is great but also many like to make it there own so something similar isn't a bad idea ethier and not out of the realm of the Ghostbusters world besides most people won't go on that's the wrong chassis unless it really stood out different. As for the motor was curious about it because of the actions it took in film vs what the fastest motor (traxxas has the 100mph car motor one of if not the fastest made in the industry) could actually do. Obviously suspend belief due to cutting of shots closeups etc but in reality the fastest motor is good for mostly doing wide oval turns and even then you can flip at that speed if you turn too sharply-its like trying to turn a drag car. That said with this being more stadium truck with oversized tires the weight will slow down the max speed unlike the car it was designed for maybe making it slightly easier to turn. The other motor you mentioned seems more probably the one used but using the fastest motor might be the way when filming with a real moving car. I always assumed they took a smaller scale RC that's under 1/10 scale and threw tires from a scale up or two and used the props weight as the downforce to carry it through a turn/handling and with the super wide tires it should hold it's turning. on a last note if the super accurate of the trap isn't required yes sport trap is a start but even better is the one Walmart had that was the same trap but instead of a button pressed at the handle it had a foot pedal. You can take the wiring for that pedal and change it to go to a micro controller on a 3rd or 4th channel and it will do the same functionality.
Absolutely love this, it's such a pleasing chunky shape and the design and build is perfect. Really enjoyed it the video, thanks!
That's one of the coolest R/C's I've seen in a long time.
I got to drive one of these! Thanks Ben!
Can’t wait for the TH-cam notification to chime on the video of Adam fabricating from scratch his own FULLY OPERATIONAL version. That would be AWESOME “AF”!
19:00 reminds me of the controllers we used for RC planes in the 80's even though in the 80s there were more advanced controllers the style featured in this video were the budget friendly option.
This was WONDERFUL!
Always great to see Sean!
Super cool build. This looks great!
now we need a ghosttrap drone
Amazing build, I love everything Tech and RC so this ticks all boxes.... One point that made my OCD itch, The tires are directional and on the wrong way around and need swapping left to right. and the Game version also shows the tire the correct way around.
Ha - good to know!
Literally just finished the movie. Fucking awesome.
I just cannot express the joy I get out of your videos. Huge fan!
I'm attempting this with a 1/16th E-Revo Chassis. Dimensions are about the same length as the Spirit Halloween Trap. Still have a lot of work to do.
Nice! For those Ghostbusters jobs that require some off-road catching.
If budget is not a factor, almost every part can be replaced with metal. Most RC drivers will tell you to keep the lower control arms as plastic. This is an easy part to replace and you need SOME flex point, or everything gets bent and there goes the budget. The wheels are likely the ones used on the Traxxas X-Maxx. The monster size wheels often require, and come with an adapter that bolts into the wheel center to connect to whatever hub you run, whether 17mm hex or screw post hub. A common issue will be that the wheels are too close to the body to give good turn radius. Extended arms are available. The decision is screen Replication vs. usability. The guy at the Knight Rider Historical Channel is having a similar problem with the mobile unit he got. How does one fit the office and garage into a space 8' wide?
Totally! The tires are 3rd party (parts list above) - they indeed used the extenders as most of the movie shots were the practical RC RTV!
Yes I've done this with my molded tmaxx long ago.
Fan-freakin-tastic!!! Awesome beer retrieving vehicle!!!! Gotta work out the refrigerator with a custom drop mechanism to deliver said beverage to the trap🍺🤔
That is so cool...gr8 job!!! Til next tyme...keep those cre8ive juices abrewing!!!
Beautiful job, brother!
Ohh My! Oh My! ... OOOHH MY! Thank you :)
This video made me think of Grant Imahara... he would've been all over this build... 😢
His doors would have worked - and smoked - and made sound!
@@CworthDynamics #Truth
Grant Imahara and Tim Smith were working on a speedrun Guinness Book Of World Record RC car before he passed away. Anyone know where the footage is or what happened to that project?
2 servos with extended arms and have it assigned to the lights on the receiver or aux. Flip a switch and will push doors up and down. Can also set the timing on the servos to run slower for a more fluid movement
They should have used a Slash 4x4 chassis for the film. That would provide more space and stability. The Stampede was a strange and less practical choice.
Ive a great suggestion. Add an fpv camera and diguise it as one of the lights or greeblys. I think a swift fpv kit would work and be fitted to the rc car controller (the one inside the car not the handheld controller.
Pair this with an fpv headset disguised as a pair of ecto goggles.
You would be able to drive and see where you are going and still be able to look cool doing it.
The only caveat I would say about buying the Stampede VXL is that the VXL motor would probably cope with the larger tyres a lot better than the standard Stampede. As long as you have the right spur/pinion set up
The starting torque alone (from a standstill) would be reason enough to uprate the motor, but what about uprating battery as well? Sure, spur/pinion can mitigate to an extent, but that translates to what you want. Do you want ease of starting from a stop to protect the motor or do you want top speed?. A delicate balancing act to know what best suits. The other upgrade should be a higher torque steering servo to handle the large wheels and overcoming the centrifugal forces imparted by them at speed. (Spin a bicycle wheel whilst holding each end of the spindle, then try turning it to get an example of the centrifugal forces involved).
It's basically a decoration that also happens to drive. It's not an RC that will get used like an RC car.
Irrespective, Spur/Pinion gearing has to be correct to the situation so that the motor does not get burnt out. Same with steering servo.
So awesome!!!
cool rc ghost box
Super cool 🤘
Great video sir thanks for sharing.
Coolness!
I’m building this soon
And I have a 4wd Stampede out in the shop already....hmm, lol
Play Spirits Unleashed everybody! It's super fun! Especially to play as a ghost! And you can play as SLIMER!
That was fun
Spirits Unleashed is great. It honestly makes me want to build a proton pack based on their customized designs. Great work on the RTV. Hope to see more. Maybe SU's ghost detector?
I’d love to see Adam build his own Johnny 5 robot
It's been a while since I have looked, but the NYCNC guys were making one out of metal.
Fun!
I love it! I want one but I don't have room. lol I wonder how long it will take someone to make them commercially? they did with Lola from SW after all.
Hey guys! I had a thought for the doors: Would a worm drive or a servo with 3d printed gears work to open the doors? Just a thought! Loved this! Love the channel! Keep up the amazing work!!
I’d imagine that a servo and 3D printed gears would be better so it can open more quickly
@@devoid-of-life Makes sense to me, I thought the worm gear would be another thing to possibly try if the other didn't pan out.
@@ZeFroz3n0ne907 I get you
Possibly! Wonder if it would open really slow?
@@CworthDynamics That was my thought as well, may be worth a try? I loved the episode you made with Adam, thank you for responding so quick!
Neat.
A smaller 2s lipo battery will give you more space underneath the doors. There are powerful batteries out there. Ovonic, or tattu are just a couple recommendations. The hub on the wheels on the movie version look like just a couple of hex nuts that hole them in. Try looking at the wheels of a Arrma Mojave for reference
Thanks for the tips
A short LiPo battery pack with a traxxas connector to replace the one you have could free up enough space to install servo that could open and close the trap doors.
ZUUUUUULLLLLLL!!!!!!! 😍👹👹👹
This looks like Wall-E's cool cousin.
Would be simple to setup 2 mini servo to push the doors open
Now I want to get Adam an XMaxx to see what he thinks of driving it. lol Also, I want to make one of those just because, now.
Can’t you just use a simple 9 gram servo with a push rod for the doors?
Aaaaaamazing.😆😆😆
Please make a watch collection video!
I fixed the tires! 😂
Are the tires on backwards while the model is in Adam's shop ?
Apparently! Will fix.
@@16-BITFPV the set pictures I saw had them going both ways so it was a toss up!
Realmente incrivel
Adam you beautiful genius
So it looks like the way the movie rtv's wheels/hubs work is more like what you would see on an 1/8th scale buggy/truggy. Rather than a screw you have some threads that peek thru the hole in the wheel and a nut that holds it all together. Something like this part number from Hot Racing would likely work HRAWH17HT01.
Edit: I would also use different 17mm wheel nuts that are a better color (black? Kinda hard to tell) and a simpler hex shape. Like Arrma part ARA310449
Did you receive your whole ecto1 from Eaglemoss before they went under? I did not. Sure hope someone else picks up that subscription. I have half of a very expensive model.
swap out the traxxas battery pack for a RC racing shorty pack you will gain alot of free space
Hey Adam watching the video right now, i know a decent amount about traxxas rc vehicles and can set you up with the answer to the wheel issue
Where’d you find the red lenses for the front headlights??
The ABS in a 1973 Futaba transmitter is probably too brittle to use anymore. Just weird that they couldn't drive ecto 1 under the ghost or they couldn't throw the RC car out the back instead of having a complicated trap door.
Based on how easily the side panels break, this may be true!
Love❤ from India🇮🇳.
More Maggie Please .
Tread pattern wrong side
On it!
It's movie accurate. Tread pattern goes backwards. Not sure why though?
Now if only you could use the one in the game without breaking your Ghostbuster.
Do you think I’ll ever be a ghost trap drone?
Gasoline version with working doors and smoke. 88mph do-able.
That would be terrifying.
@@CworthDynamics When terror becomes proportional to fun! :-)
I've been waiting on finding a cheap enough rtv that is the correct model but turns out you can literally just by the wheels seperately
If you don't need it to go super fast and be 100% accurate that's the way to go!
More Maggie!
Yeah, that's all well and good, but what about EVIL, pure and simple, from the 8th Dimension?!!!
Can we get a video about Maggie?
Twisted Metal Small Brawl??
tires are on backwards...
Day one of posting till Adam notices this comment. Adam you have to check out NerdForge on youtube.
Adam savage's tested I hope 1 day that u come to lansing Michigan for a comic con because I would love to show u my gear that I modify in my own image and that I hope 1 day that I can show Jason riteman as well.
That is kids Ghostbusters ghost trap
Ghost Buster rover?
Why do you guys keep deleting my comments about Quentin Michaels and Marc Carabelli? They literally have all the files you could ever need to build any Ghostbusters prop including the RTV.
If including links TH-cam will often auto-delete it.

'all you need to do is Blah Blah Blah'
Lmao
Am I the only one that subscribed to Adam Savage Tested, due to Adam
If it was john Smith tested , I would not have subscribed…
I am here for him, and him only
I must be alone on this…😳
Sorry?
Same. I skip all the Norm and etc videos.
someone tell ukraine to not sleep on rcv! drones are greater yes but im sure we could gather all of our kids old toy rc cars and send em over there where they can rig it up to fight infantry lol
Afterlife was garbage
Want to work out for reals?
Its a traxas car with a trap on it , lame
Awesome but should have added the stickers on the front:
I can't add links but search Gogglle for: "MUON TRAP: OPERATING MANUAL (ADF, TR, TR G, OFF, NRADS, ETC.)"
Afterlife played a bit too loose with the canon details (the wand bargraph didn't even work when Phoebe turned it on)
Stephen Dane's original work in 1983 is the go to "manual" for how these things were made to work:
Again I can't add links but Gogglle:
ghostbusters reference library "Ghostbusters Prop concepts and inspiration"
Stephen Dane is the person who designed the wand and the trap in 1983, his manual is listed in his concept drawings on the above site.
I actually make those dry transfers, but left them off since they weren't on the Afterlife RTV
@@CworthDynamics Sure. It's inconsistent in the movies. They were on the screen used GB1 Planet Hollywood trap (which is where we learned what they were). I think it was an oversight on the part of the director to not include them in all scenes. All the prop switches (especially the wand) are meticulously labelled. To have that many unlabelled rotary switches so close together on the front of the trap doesn't really add up. We will see what Firehouse brings! But awesome replica man it looks out of this world.
